It is said that a person does not truly understand Italy if they do not go to Sicily. Well, in Sicily, to truly understand it, you must have home food. We were lucky to have superb home food prepared by Flavia. Thank you.

Flavia you have received us into your home and then loved us into your heart. Thank you for sharing food but even more your heart.

Mille grazie per la cena squisita! I don’t think I am writing that correctly, but I wanted to try in the “atmosphere” of sharing your culture. It was so nice of you to open your lovely home + cook such a delicious meal for us… It has been a wonderful evening.

This was a wonderful treat! What a grand idea to have a meal in your home. We’ve seen a lot of the monuments in Rome, but through this program we’ve had the opportunity to connect with you through food. Flavia thank you for opening your home and kitchen to us!!

We were looking forward to this evening, and it was more than wonderful!! We enjoyed the delicious dinner, which was way better than a normal restaurant, especially because of the nice atmosphere of your beautiful home and the interesting conversations. We would love to come again and we’re going
to tell everyone in Germany about it! Thanks so much!
