Tasteful Tours of Italy, One Meal at a Time"I have been on two trips to Italy with Monti e Mare, Tasteful Tours of Italy. Both trips were upscale and most enjoyable. Accommodations, food and tours were fabulous. All involved became friends and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I recommend this company to all". Susan VanApeldoorn, Tuscany and Naples tours
I used Susan Marianetti as our in house cook for a villa in Tuscany and she was wonderful. I would never do a villa without her. All her meals were professionally done and different each day. The quality was excellent and there was always plenty of food and a variety! I would use Susan for any individual private party or catering.. Marilyn Coleman, MJ Travel Services, Rochester, NY
