I would highly recommend them as my friend and I had a wonderful week and we loved the casual but hugely informative and enjoyable cooking sessions, which were great fun and provided loads of insight into real Italian cooking. We actually got to stay in a little home inside the
ancient walls of Toffia, it was great to feel like one of the locals!

One of the highlights for me was the local olive grove tour as the information provided was interesting and valuable, the tasting delicious, and the whole thing a very welcoming experience.

All in all, they gave us a great balance of cooking, sightseeing, tours and leisure. Thanks go to Guido and Sally who run the holidays, for a great week filled with warmth, personal care, refreshing simplicity and a huge helping of inspiration.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17065 Gusto http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12212
You take a large tin plate, heap it with food from the buffet, and pay by weight (returning as many times as stomach and wallet permit). The kids loved it - as did the many Italian families queuing for tables. Brilliant.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12212 Give Alceste a wide berth http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10679
Though the three of us speak Italian and explained that we wanted to split an assorted antipasto, we were served three full antipasti, which were awful, and charged for all three. The sea bass cooked in salt looked like it had been dropped on the kitchen floor and service was snarly. Best meal of our trip: Trattoria Monti, a superb little place with delicious food, a Roman crowd and charming waiters.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10679 Gelateria della Palma http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9593 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9593 Tre Scalini http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3480 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3480 Tre Scalini, Piazza navona http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3474 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3474 Babington’s Tea Rooms http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3453 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3453 Tre Scalini http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3437 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3437 Dar Poeta Pizzeria http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1143 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1143 Carciofi alla Giudea http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/224 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/224 The Supplì http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/223 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/223
