#Cooking

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!

A taste of Rome! Loved the experience. Simona was the perfect host with teaching me the heart of tiramisu and pizza making. She was prepared to make the evening to go smoothly. Thanks once again for this amazing experience.

The dinner with Simona and her family was one of the absolute best meals we had in Italy. She made a variety of dishes - one better than the next and were just wonderful company and hosts. It was difficult to get a cab in Rome on this day and they were super patient as we arrived a bit late - and Simona's husband even gave us a lift back. A wonderful experience of real people, real food and the best time ever! Grazie ragazzi!!!!

great food and amazing hosts! I had some Roman and Neapolitan dishes, easy recipes but really well done. Spaghetti alla Puttanesca was excellent. Simona and her family are really friendly and we had a nice conversation all together during the meal, you immediately feel like eating at home with your friends. Convenient location, not far from the metro station so easy to reach by public transport. I hope I will try the others Simona recipes soon ;)
