Mouthwatering Florentine Dinner at Valeria’s Table

I craft unique and transformative experiences for guests from all over the world. I'm a home cook and event host. Brand & Hospitality Consultant. Cooking is how I express my love for others. I think good food should feel like a cuddle. Behind each of our favorite dishes is a childhood memory, a special occasion, a story to tell. I love putting this kind of feeling into a dish and cook with high quality ingredients. Andrea, my partner, is a professional musician. He inherited his passion for food from his grandpa, a professional chef who taught him the art of traditional Italian cuisine. He's a third level graduated sommelier from the Italian Sommelier Association. Together, we decided to open the door of our home to new friends, food lovers and like-minded travelers to share our passions and our vision of good living.
