An American food writer and long-time resident of Rome could guide you in tastings, cooking lessons, and market tours so you can immerse yourself in the rich gastronomic life of the Eternal City. You can do thematic or regional tastings of Italy's best cheeses, prosciutto and salumi, breads, smoked and marinated fish, and other gourmet delights, and even an olive oil tasting guided by Armando Manni himself. For a truly unique experience, you can have a private lesson with a top chef or other specialist in your fully equipped kitchen at Casa MANNI. The lesson can have a theme, such as pasta or risotto or fish, or you can learn a whole meal in a favorite chef's style. Perhaps you've always wanted to make perfect Bolognese tagliatelle by hand? You will have the right expert to teach you.

Our Wine Experiences
If you are a wine lover you are in the right place. You will have the chance to choose from more than 1,000 bottles, representing the most interesting and best Italian wine of the last 25 years- all owned by Armando Manni. It won't be easy to choose what you'd like to stock at Casa MANNI in the wonderful glass cellar, designed by Adam D. Tihany.
Have a distinctly Italian wine experience. You visit a handful of top enoteche (excellent wine shops) to see and taste what's new on the Italian wine scene. Enjoy a thematic wine tasting at home guided by a leading expert: It could be a Grand Tour of the major Italian grape varieties; it could be focused on a specific wine or region; or it could simply be "the best of the best," with the top Italian wines of the last quarter century. Finally, the expert will be able to help you build your own Italian wine cellar as he assists you in choosing the best vintages and then ships them safely to your home.
