Cilento pizzaHandmade pasta with raguEggplant parmigiana or stuffed peppersFresh fruitLimoncelloNicola enjoys sharing the food, culture and soul of the region of Cilento with travelers from around the world. The people of Cilento tend to live longer than in other parts of Italy, which they attribute to the regional cuisine and positive attitude. The food of the region of Cilento (referred to as the birthplace of the Mediterranean diet) is based on traditional aspects of the Mediterranean diet that includes fresh and regional ingredients, fruits, vegetables, seafood and extra virgin olive oil. Nicola is passionate about meeting people and helping them enjoy the region of Cilento. In his words, “Arrive as a guest and leave as a friend.” Meet a warm and inviting Italian family in the region of Campania.
"This experience exceeded my expectations! From the initial meeting with Nicola and his mother Lia and hanging out in their lovely home, they made us feel like family. Lia showed us how to make a fried pizza, homemade pasta, eggplant parmesan and slow cooked pork and beef. The food was incredible; however, the experience was far better! Highly recommended if you find yourself in or near the awesome village of Castellabate!"
"Nicola, mama, and papa welcomed us into their family with open arms. We learned how to cook authentic Cilento-style pizza, ricotta & spinach ravioli, tagliatelle & Parmesan. We had bread, wine, and local desserts as well. It was the most intimate, authentic experience we could have asked for on our honeymoon! It is truly a core memory we will never forget and we left feeling like we made lifelong friends!"
