Authentic Tuscan Food and Drink w/ AMAZING Hosts - If I could give this tour 6-stars, I would. Simo and Lorenzo were incredibly gracious hosts. Simo did the cooking (with our help, of course) but they are both clearly skilled chefs. We prepared four classic Tuscan crostini and one primi from scratch under the expert tutelage of Simo and every one was delicious and vibrant! Lorenzo chose a lovely local wine and shared his homemade (and delicious) limoncello and amaro! Very cool. If you’re looking for a truly Tuscan cooking and dining experience with wonderful hosts in a lovely, homey space, Simonella is your cesarina, for sure!! Grazie mille to this company for connecting us with our lovely hosts for the evening! We will absolutely be back!
