Great meal & super fun for the kids - Chef Carlo came to our Airbnb flat and prepared a fantastic meal, and graciously let the 4 kids in our group help him to prepare the various dishes. Despite limited English (thought better than our Italian to be sure) he was able to communicate with the kids and had them super engaged. Started with bruschetta, then onto pasta carbonara, then saltimbocca, and finally a tiramisu for desert. We were a little leery to serve our kiddos veal, so he agreed ahead of time to make the saltimbocca with chicken, and I also had asked him to bring along some traditional Italian soft drinks for the kids (limonata, oranciata, etc.) and a few bottles of wine to pair for an extra fee. It was a really fun night for all of us, a lovely little break from eating out every meal while on our holiday, giving us a chance to enjoy ourselves together at our flat while Carlo made everything and also made a huge dent on the clean-up! The kids said it was the best chicken they’d ever had, and there was not even a crumb left of the dessert, despite us all being stuffed by the end of the meal. We all had a great evening with Carlo - so much fun!

Best carbonara! - What fun! After a busy day of sightseeing, we were treated to Carlo cooking a 4 course dinner at our Airbnb flat! Carlo was delightful and cheerfully shared techniques for the creamiest carbonara we ever had. Bravo!

Best Italian meal ever, Chef Carlo rules! - Carlo is a wonderful person, culinary genius and chef! My family, very picky eaters, thoroughly enjoyed his cooking. Carlo has a great personality and his cooking was the highlight of our trip to Rome! Choosing this event was the best decision I made and my family wholeheartedly agrees!

Our evening transformed into a culinary journey - Our evening transformed into a culinary journey when Chef Carlo presented his appetizer, a perfect prelude that awakened our senses. This was followed by the Carbonara, a masterpiece of balance between Pecorino and crispy guanciale, a dish that told stories of Rome with every bite. The final dessert, a heavenly Tiramisù, sealed the experience with a sweetness that still resonates in our memories. Each dish, enriched by the Chef's stories, nourished not just our bodies but also our souls, immersing us in the pulsating heart of Roman tradition. An experience to relive, a treasure to keep. Carlo, thank you so much! My children had a great time with you, next year we will return to Rome and book your experience again.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!! - We began with an appetizer, a true delight! It tantalized our taste buds. This was followed by a first course, the 'Carbonara', masterfully prepared with the perfect balance of Pecorino Romano and crispy bacon. The flavor was authentic, rich, and absolutely delicious—a gem of Roman cuisine where the taste of the bacon perfectly blended with the Pecorino. The evening concluded with a 'Tiramisu' dessert, soft and creamy, leaving a sweet memory of this culinary experience. In addition to the exquisite dishes, Chef Carlo, despite not speaking perfect English, shared anecdotes and secrets of Roman cuisine, making the experience even richer and more personal. It was a unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in Roman culture through its authentic flavors, all within the comfortable environment of our B&B. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to taste the best of Roman cuisine without having to leave home.

Truly extraordinary! - I am speechless when I think about the extraordinary experience we had with Carlo. It was much more than a simple meal, it was an emotional journey through Roman flavors and culinary traditions, an experience that touched our hearts and souls. Apparently, he was a little shy, but he opened up, and I found this very beautiful. Chef Carlo's passion for food and Rome is palpable, it's as if every ingredient had a story to tell and he knew how to make it shine. Carlo didn't just cook for us, he shared his culture, his history, and his passion with us. His stories made each dish even more special because we could understand the context and love he put into each creation.

We were able to savor some of the most delightful treats in Rome without worrying about reservations or dining out. It was a luxury that allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our vacation. I can't recommend Chef Carlo enough to anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary experience in Rome.
