As a member of the Etsy New York Team, a group of local Etsy sellers, I contributed a post to the team blog about my pasta-making experience in Rome while I was on vacation in April. My parents and I planned the trip together and learning the secrets of creating fresh pasta was on the top of our list for our time in Italy. We had heard about Bonappetour.com as a way to find and reserve in-home cooking and dining experiences abroad and we booked an evening with Francesca through the site.

The evening was a fun and delicious way to get to know a local Roman as well as learn more about Italy’s most-beloved specialty: freshly made pasta. My post on the EtsyNY blog went up on Monday, you may read it here.
