Here I am! My name is Simona, I’m about 40 years old and I live in Rome (near San Giovanni area), my adopted city. Actually I was born in Naples where I lived up to 30 years and where I come back every time I can. I am married and I have a beautiful 7 year old child. I have a passion for cooking since I was a little girl and I tried my first experiments preparing desserts with my girlfriends. It was impossible not to have a passion for cooking if you grew up in a typical Neapolitan family, with two grandmothers and a mother who prepared the homemade pasta and every Easter or Christmas cooked sumptuous lunches for more than 20 people. Are just those tastes and smells that today I like to propose to my family and to my friends who, more often, come to my home for a dinner or a lunch togheter. As you can see, my own kitchen is focused on typical dishes of Neapolitan and Roman tradition. Now I want to share my passion with new people, opening the doors of my home to tourists visiting Rome or anyone who wanted to enjoy the taste of tradition in a different way, in a more casual and comfortable atmosphere. I have a degree in law, many years of so-called "normal" jobs behind but when I wake up in the morning and I know I have to organize a dinner I feel happy! Food is culture, tradition and passion!
