“Excellent Local Home Dining Experience - On August 25th we were hosted by Graziella at her lovely home in Civitavecchia. Her husband and son also joined us for dinner. She made a wonderful 4 course dinner and provided a beautiful wine to complement the dinner. She was a very kind and delightful host and her family made us feel very welcome. The meal was delicious and very plentiful. We also enjoyed many different topics of conversation as we learned about each other’s food and culture. We chose this experience for this reason and were not disappointed! We would highly recommend this experience.” (Reviewed on 2024-08-26)
