Begin your evening by being greeted like an old friend with a homemade aperitif and antipasto, including bruschetta with basil pesto and anchovies, while getting to know your charming host.

Then, sit back and enjoy a true Southern Italian dinner experience. Francesca will prepare a multi-course meal using fresh-caught seafood and seasonal ingredients, each dish infused with generations of tradition and a generous dose of love.

Savor every bite of pasta e fagioli con le cozze (pasta and beans with mussels), polpo alla Luciana (octopus slow-cooked in tomato sauce with olives, capers, and parsley, served in traditional terracotta pots), homemade bread, a surprise homemade Italian dessert, and unlimited local wine and coffee.

The evening ends around the table with laughter, stories, and perhaps even a round of Italian cards or music with Francesca and her family. And if you’re an animal lover, you’re in for a treat—Francesca’s friendly German Shepherd is part of the family too. He’s playful, gentle, and loves making new friends, adding an extra touch of warmth to this unforgettable experience.
