"This was the highlight to our Italian vacation. Nicoletta and Fabio were fabulous hosts and great chefs. While the pasta, ravioli and taramisu were delicious, Nicoletta and Fabio's hospitality was truly the highlight of the evening we spent with them. We will be relating our grand experience with them for years to come as well as trying to recreate their delicious food. Thank you."

"Nicoletta and Fabio were incredible hosts, teachers, and friends to share a meal with — all in one! This fun-loving couple taught me all that there was to know about the 3 dishes we prepared (delicious, btw) and answered any questions I had on Italian culture, food, Milan, and anything else! Their beautiful and charming apartment was the cherry on top. Such a special afternoon, would 100% do again!"
