Experience Details

Although I did not know English well (like most Italians), I made myself understood and appreciated, as you can see from the reviews and I will tell you more I was also included on Tripadvisor among the Best "World" Gastronomic Experiences and I am the fourth in the world.


During my experiences, I was often asked to share the recipes of the dishes I prepared. That’s how the idea was born to include them in my first novel, where family stories, historical anecdotes, and flavors come together in a series of narratives. If you like, you can simply ask me for the link to purchase it and I’ll send it to you. When we meet, I’ll be happy to write a personal dedication, or, if you prefer, I can bring a copy myself, just like I can bring, upon request, a bottle of wine paired with your menu. A souvenir that I hope will stay in your heart, just like the experience we’ll share.

Carlo was amazing! He prepared a four course meal for us, it was delicious. He left the kitchen cleaned and in order. He left us a gift, a book he published. Can’t wait to read it.
