Dining Experience at a local's Home in Salerno with Show Cooking

Carmen and family were amazing hosts, the dinner was superb and everything was homemade including the wine her mother makes! Outstanding time.

We absolutely loved the experience Elena, Maurizio and Marta offered us. It was a genuine cultural experience with the most delicious food… their open mindedness, passion for family and sharing opened our eyes to more than the Italian way but to the importance of human connections. Grazie.

Carmen was delightful. She has a beautiful home and we felt welcomed immediately. The food was excellent and she provided explanations of its origins. Later on we met her husband who was very charming. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

It was a fun way to see Perugia and learn about some of the areas history. We enjoyed good food, good drinks, good views and good company.

The entire experience was so intimate and our dinner was better than restaurant quality. Elena and Mauricio and their daughter Marta made us feel right at home. It was the highlight of our visit to Salerno.

This was a great experience. Carmine and Marcello were such charming hosts. You can really feel how much they love to meet new people. They only take one booking a night so you will not have to share this experience with multiple groups. Don't be intimidated if your Italian is not very good. They are patient listeners and are good at communicating despite the language barriers. The food was great and the overall experience was super fun.

If you use Google maps to get there be sure to let them know in advance. Google maps isn't quite accurate.

Antonia was so kind to invite us into her home. She is such a beautiful host and fabulous chef. She gave us a fantastic tour of the local market and life in Salerno. Her beautiful home was so inviting and the meal she prepared for us was so delicious! We will visit her again on our next visit to Salerno!

We had a great time meeting this Italian family in their home, cooking, learning about their family life, their cooking and food, and having some really good food and wine and dining with them. They made it easy to get to their beautiful home, and we had a wonderful and pleasant evening with them. We would recommend it to anyone that wants to spend a pleasant evening with an Italian family off the beaten path, and experience some good company and food.

This was a highlight of our trip to the Amalfi Coast! We were welcomed into Carmen’s beautiful home located outside of Salerno. Carmen’s daughter, Francesca, helped her mother serve, prepare the food and translate! All of the food was grown on the family property and expertly prepared. So light and fresh! Carmen’s grandmother’s wine, made with the grapes grown on the property, was the best wine we had on the Amalfi Coast. My husband and I highly recommend this dining experience. We learned about preparation of the delicious food, the family history and got a glimpse of the way of life for a tight knit Italian family. Thank you so much for welcoming us, Carmen and Francesca!

My wife and I have been talking about doing some sort of local dining experience or cooking class for a while, but this was the first time following through and WOW! Emilia and Gianluca showed us the best of times with great conversation and an amazing meal in their beautiful home. They were very personable, spoke great English, and obviously put in a lot of effort to be great hosts for us.

After our first casual appetizers and wine on their beautiful outdoor patio table, they gave us a tour of their property and gardens. They had an extensive assortment of fruits and vegetables and an obvious passion and skill for gardening. They allowed us to pick and snack on various items throughout - Tasty!

Emilia had prepared a full assortment of fresh food directly from her garden (or cheeses from a local dairy farm right down the road) and together with my wife prepared a DELICIOUS meal that was very filling and satisfying. Throughout the meal preparation and dining experience, they shared family cooking traditions and lots of information about the local and greater Italian areas.

Dessert, coffee, and limoncello were the final cherry on top of the amazing dining experience.

Overall, this was an experience that we will never forget. And one that we certainly do not regret - worth every penny! We couldn't of asked for a better evening with better company! Thank you Emilia and Gianluca for putting in the effort to show us a great time!
