Rossella has completely transformed how we eat at home. Instead of scrambling every night, we now sit down to meals that taste like a cozy dinner in Italy, fresh, seasonal, and full of flavor. She listens to what we like (and what our kids don’t like!) and somehow creates menus that make everyone happy. Beyond the food, she’s organized, professional, and so warm that having her in our kitchen feels effortless. It’s one of the best decisions our family has made.

Working with Rossella has been one of the greatest gifts to our family, she feels like part of our family now. Each week, she prepares the most thoughtful, nourishing, and beautifully balanced meals, always with incredible variety and always with our growing family’s needs in mind. She goes above and beyond in every possible way: from planning creative menus to sourcing high-quality ingredients to leaving our kitchen spotless and our fridge filled with vibrant, wholesome food. What meant the most to me, though, was how she supported me during my pregnancy. When I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, Rossella immediately stepped in with so much care and expertise. She crafted meals that were not only perfectly tailored to my nutritional needs, but also genuinely delicious, so much so that I often forgot they were special-diet dishes at all. I was continually amazed that her meals never spiked my blood sugar, and I know that’s a testament to her skill, her ingredient choices, and her dedication to doing things the right way. Our family feels incredibly lucky to have Rossella in our lives. Her food nourishes us, but her kindness, thoughtfulness, and genuine passion for her craft make an even bigger impact. We are endlessly grateful for her and truly cannot recommend her highly enough.

Still day dreaming about the incredible meal Rossella and Steve prepared for us and our friends lastnight for NYE! Unbelievable appetizers, steak and Lobster, and the cream de coffee changed our lives! It was an absolute pleasure to spend the evening with you learning about cooking and Italy. We can’t wait to have you back for another amazing meal. Thank you for making our event spectacular!!

This class was the bees knees! The cat’s pajamas! I had so much fun! And if you want to make the best tomato sauce you’ll ever taste, take this class. She moves fast but let’s you interrupt with questions, which is awesome.

What a wonderful class! We made homemade gnocchi and tiramisu...it was so good. My favorite part was learning how simple it is to make tomato sauce from scratch. I’ll never buy from a jar again! Rossella took the fear out of homemade pasta. This is a perfect date night idea or bridal shower event.
