My BonAppetour experience with Ryan was an absolute highlight of my Italy trip and I would HIGHLY recommend to others! The location of their apartment (right across from the colosseum) is incredible and their rooftop patio makes for some incredible photos. The food definitely met and exceeded my expectations, especially the cacio e pepe pasta that was hands down the best pasta dish I had in Italy! Not only were all 5 courses absolutely delicious, but I loved learning about the ingredients and cooking techniques from Ryan. His passion for food was contagious and he was so friendly and personable that it made the dinner feel like we were eating with an old friend! My only regret was not booking this experience earlier on in our trip as it would have been great to know all of his insider info about eating plant-based in Italy to guide our food choices along the trip.

This was an amazing experience. If you are vegan, (or if you just like to eat really wonderful, tasty food) this is a must-do while you’re in the area! Francesca and Ryan are both very thoughtful and kind people. Their attention to detail and their combination of flavor profiles is exquisite. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

What an experience! Great food and the company (other guests we hadn't previously met) was brilliant. Francesca & Ryan are fantastic hosts and I would recommend to anyone. Location overlooking the coleosseum and the Roman forum would take some beating. Go with an open mind, be yourself and you will have a great time.

Francesca and Ryan were amazing hosts! Their apartment was absolutely beautiful, warm, and welcoming. Their hospitality was unmatched during the rest of our stay in Rome and the food was phenomenal! The dishes served were thoughtful, beautiful, unique and delicious. It was lovely hearing from Ryan about each dish as we were served. Francesca was a great conversationalist who immediately made you feel like you've known her forever. I would encourage anyone (Vegan or not) to book this experience!

We had a lovely time. The food was very tasty and we had good conversations. Would recommend!

This dinner was by far the highlight of our trip to Rome. Everything was absolutely incredible!! Francesca was the sweetest host and we had a fantastic time getting to know her and exchanging laughs and conversation. The food was better than anything I've ever eaten––I swear. Each dish was prepared so thoughtfully with their own unique and amazing flavours. Francesca took the time to explain the history and cultural significance of each dish too:) Plus, all of the ingredients were fresh and locally sourced! The apartment was beautiful and the view of the colosseum is to die for. We still cannot stop talking about how fun and yummy this dinner was. If you are looking for good vegan food in Rome, and an exceptional roman experience with a great host, do yourself a favor and book a dinner with Francesca!

This was my first experience with BonAppetour, but Francesca and Ryan definitely set the bar. I was welcomed very warmly into their cosy home, located in the heart of Trastevere. Although I'm not vegan myself, I do enjoy eating vegetarian (mostly) and vegan (occasionaly). The dishes they prepared were not only bursting with flavour, but also beautifully presented. They even made an extra effort to make every course gluten free, especially for me. It's hard to choose my favourite dish of the night. I was crazy about the homemade crackers and I thought their own take on farinata, made into a lasagna was a winner. Between all this lovely food, conversation was very easy and touched topics ranging from healthy eating, history, poor service in cake shops, movies, yoga, mummies (yes mummies) etc. Time flew by and I enjoyed every single minute of it. I wish them the very best and I'm sure their passion for healthy food/living will take them far!

I had the pleasure of dining with Francesca and Ryan for a whole week when I visited them last September and it really opened my eyes to vegan and vegetarian cuisine. Like a lot of people I have, out of habit, been a big meat and dairy consumer for most of my life but I have started to examine this in recent months and Francesca and Ryan helped me do this not only by showing me delicious alternatives to animal based foods, but also by sharing the wealth of knowledge and nutritional information they have. They were happy to answer all of my questions in a really helpful and positive way. I now eat significantly less animal products and feel much happier for it. In such a meat and cheese eating culture as Italy it is hard to find good vegan and vegetarian food, so the fact that Francesca and Ryan are sharing their home, their food and their passion with other people is a great thing.

I'm not a vegan but Francesca's food is always so delicious and it inspires me to make changes in my own eating habits. Francesca and Ryan are very knowledgable about food and nutrition and it's interesting to learn about these things from them. They have really opened mine and my partners eyes to the huge health benefits from being vegan, and made us realise that we can still get all the things we want in our daily diets from the vegan lifestyle. I can not wait to try more lovely dishes that francesca has to make.
