My house is very comfortable, modern, welcoming.
You'll stay in a 50 meters unique room where you'll find a kitchen, a living room and a dining room all together.
This place so shaped lets my guest to interact continuosly...
Even my place is very close to Vatican City and Prati quarter, with metro A Cornelia stop at 50 meters.
So it's also very easy to reach.
The quarter is very commercial and full of life, perfect to go shopping or have a coffee before our event :)

I had a lovely cooking class and lunch with Francesca! We learned three types of pasta and the accompanying sauces, which all turned out deliciously. I'm trying one of the recipes this weekend and plan to use them all regularly! The best part of the class was being in Francesca's lovely home and enjoying the fruits of our labor after the class with her son and his girlfriend (over wine!). I'd highly recommend cooking with Francesca! (vedi pagina intera)

Wonderful experience making pasta. Francesca was very gracious to open her lovely home to us for pasta making. Lots of fun making pasta and then we sat down to an amazingly delicious lunch. Highly recommend learning pasta making from Francesca. We are looking forward to trying out new skills the Francesca way once we are back home. Ciao! (vedi pagina intera)

We had such a great time with Francesca, she was very animated and fun to be around. We had the 3 course dinner and made our own pasta with meat sauce, the pork main and a tiramisu, then we learned an arriabata sauce also. She explained everything very thoroughly and we were involved in each step. What a great experience. (vedi pagina intera)

We really enjoyed our big family cooking class and dinner at Francesca's. She was so flexible and willing to adjust the menu and timing to suit our wishes. We learnt invaluable tips and tricks for the recipes we cooked and the wine and dessert that were also served were fabulous. Thank you for accommodating such a big group of us, Francesca. We learnt a lot and enjoyed a great meal with you! Our absent dinner guest also greatly appreciated the meals you sent home! (vedi pagina intera)

Our evening at Francesca's could not have been more delightful. Let me count the ways. 1. That lady can cook. We were kind of overwhelmed by the menu we requested. We all had to make room for dessert, which was well worth the effort. 2, None of us knows much about Italian wine, now we know we like that too. 3. As wonderful as all of that was, by concensus, we felt blessed and privileged to be made so welcome in Francesca's home. Finally, 4. We found out that with a little courage and trust, we were able to confirm our belief that the world is full of "good friends and neighbors." Doreen, Louisiana, USA (vedi pagina intera)

What can I say? I feel so lucky to have met Francesca (through airbnb) . How fabulous to have someone prepare a gourmet multicourse dinner (regional theme) and match it with several wines. I've met wonderful people, had many laughs, and would HIGHLY recommend Magic Francesca's. I just can't say enough about the food, wine and wonderful atmosphere. See you again soon Francesca!

I went to Francesca's place and i had a great time! The food is really traditional and healthy! Francesca is a sommelier so usually she pair the wine to the food. The place is perfectly quiet and cozy, suitable for conversation and taste good food/wine. I'd like to be present again in a future lunch/dinner there! My vote is 10/10!! One of my favorite!

Atmosfere raffinate eppure calde come le mura domestiche, sapiente accoglienza in un ambiente sobrio ed elegante, una cucina che affonda le sue radici nella più classica tradizione culinaria italiana ma con quel tocco in più, quel quid sottile che sa trasformare ogni piatto in qualche cosa di unico, accompagnato dai migliori vini e intorno...Roma!
