Enjoy a truly authentic Roman lunch — not in a restaurant, but in the warm, welcoming home of a real family in the Castelli Romani.
This is not just a meal: it’s a full-sensory experience led by Emiliano, a local from Ariccia, whose roots in this land go back generations.
You’ll learn to cook like a Roman, sip wine from the surrounding hills, and sit down to a table filled with laughter, tradition, and the kind of food that doesn’t follow trends — it follows centuries.
Forget the tourist menus and cookie-cutter group tours. This is real Roman life. And for one day, it’s yours too.

Emiliano or one of his trusted team will pick you up personally from your hotel in central Rome and drive you to the Castelli Romani. If you're staying outside the center, we’ll arrange a nearby meeting point. If you're staying outside the city center or in an Airbnb, we’ll coordinate the most convenient meeting point for you.
Watch Emiliano prepare a full Roman meal in his home kitchen — from pasta to dessert — while sharing stories, tips, and traditions.
No apron needed: just sit back, sip some wine, and enjoy the show.
Sit down at Emiliano’s family table and enjoy a full Roman lunch made with local ingredients. Each dish comes with a story — from family recipes to village traditions — served with wine, laughter, and real connection.
After your experience, relax as we drive you comfortably back to your hotel in Rome — no stress, no rush, just a smooth return from the hills to the city.
