Cooking for family and friends has always been a way of combining our passion for food and my love of being amongst people.
We find cooking relaxing - We love experimenting with new flavours and blending these flavours that we've discovered through the years during our many travels with traditional Italian cuisine. Adding that particular touch to classic dishes is our speciality! It's not only the food itself that fascinates us, we love presenting it creatively, from the perfect glass to the perfect centrepiece.
Our dinners take place immersed in the old Rome atmosphere of Barbara's 18th century home, located just around the corner from the Spanish Steps. We can't wait to introduce you to our world and share a wonderful dining experience with you!

Barbara and Ida were the perfect hosts! It was such fun to listen to the friends discuss food and Italy. The location is in the heart of the city and beautiful! We came as a family of 5. My daughter and I are both Celiac and needed gluten free, which Barbara was extremely knowledgeable and generous, not only accommodating but also assuring out experience was as detailed and delicious as the others. The food surpassed our expectations, and was among the best after 5 days in Rome! The quantity prepared was also more than humanly possible to eat! Many thanks to both hosts as well as the other guests. It was a great experience to share the evening in discussions of travel and food. We left with many tips of places to venture on this trip and left with dreams to return for more adventures in the future. This was definitely a highlight of our trip!

This was the experience of a lifetime! When you plan a trip to Rome, you must schedule a dinner with Chef Barbara and her husband, Andrea. The night was magical as we met new friends and shared some of the most amazing food. Barbara made sure we experienced true Italian cuisine. My husband has Celiac Disease and she made sure to make his meal Gluten Free! He lacked nothing in the experience or taste of the food. This is truly the one experience we will sign up to do over again.

My friend and I started our Rome vacation at Barbara's home, it was Thanksgiving Eve. It was beyond everything we have expected - great company (we had a very intimate dinner, just the two of us with Barbara's family), wine, delicious food and amazing conversation. True and Authentic Roman experience. Barbara was very attentive to our food allergies/restrictions, and we came back to our hotel ecstatic. THANK YOU, Barbara and family! Lee & Anastasia
