Great meal - Carlo was amazing! He prepared a four course meal for us, it was delicious. He left the kitchen cleaned and in order. He left us a gift, a book he published. Can’t wait to read it.

An unforgettable dining experience! - This private homemade meal with our chef was the highlight of our trip. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The chef was warm, welcoming, and shared great stories behind the food. It was comfortable, personal, and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience authentic cuisine in a more intimate setting.

An unforgettable experience, to be repeated! - A perfect evening thanks to an extraordinary chef. Punctual, friendly and super organized. Each dish was a small masterpiece, cared for in the smallest details and full of flavor. Very fresh ingredients, original combinations and an impeccable service that made us feel like we were at a restaurant but with the warmth of home. Five well-deserved stars, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to treat themselves to a special experience in Rome!

Relaxing dinner at our rented apartment. - Wonderful! Food was amazing. There were seven of us, including five college kids. My wife was able to visit, with Carlos in the background doing EVERYTHING. My kids loved having their mom enjoy dinner and be part of the conversation! I don’t write reviews, but felt I needed to do this one. One kid was a vegetarian, and Carlos made great accommodations. Lifelong memory for Rome! The Carbonara and beef with sage, was so good!

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!

Culinary Journey of Joy and Memories in Rome - The evening spent with Carlo was like an explosion of joy in my heart! An experience that touched the deepest strings of my soul, both emotionally and culinarily. His passion for Roman cuisine is overwhelming. The atmosphere was like a warm embrace from an old friend. We laughed, joked, and shared stories while savoring his delicious dishes. This was not just a dinner; it was an experience that filled my heart with joy and gave me unforgettable memories. Thank you so much, Carlo, you are a true treasure of Rome!
