Go Italianissimo

When you’re in Rome, you want to FEEL immersed in the culture and eat insanely delicious food. This local gem in Rome delivers both! 🍝

The owner Stefano and his cousin, Pastery chef Marina, are amazing! Both are so passionate about food and their cozy authentic Roman restaurant. My favorite carbornara in Rome!

Group dinners are fun, interactive, and give you the insider feel of Italy that you can’t experience as a regular tourist. 🇮🇹

Lisbon Must-See: Palácio de Pena in Sintra 🏰

It’s got bright colors, a really unique combo of architectural styles and gorgeous views!

We organized a private transfer and tour guide for our small group to make it seamless and also get an insider perspective on the history and meaning of this gorgeous palace.

If you have a chance, make sure to visit Sintra and Pena Palace. 🏰

No, it’s not Tuscany! Do you know where this is? 🇵🇹

We did a w**e tasting of 4 w**es with gorgeous views over the river and vineyards. 🍷🍷

The steep hills and winding river makes the views magical! ✨

Where is this?

Welcome to Portugal! 🇵🇹 Our first day in Lisbon we did a private tour of Jerónimos Monastery — which was incredibly detailed and impressively beautiful! The church next door houses the tomb of the explorer Vasco Da Gama.

Afterwards we made a necessary stop for pastel de Belem (which is the original version of pastel de nata) before the first afternoon of Dental CE. 🦷

I might be falling in love with Lisbon!

Have you been to Portugal? 🇵🇹

Italy stole my heart in the first 2 weeks in Tuscany. I went to Florence to study Italian for 9 months in 2009, and I didn’t even imagine how it would change my life.

The Italians stubborn passion about their food and w**e, the animated way they talk and gesture, the rolling hills with the classic tall skinny Cypress trees, and the beautiful architecture and art were magical and just enchanted me.

My name is Lacy, and I’m the CEO and founder of Go Italianissimo.

15 years later, I’m still as mesmerized by Italy as always. Planning and leading trips to Italy is my dream job and I feel so deeply honored and thrilled to be a part of your beautiful Italian experience.

Gelato is always a good idea!🍦

I tell my clients that it is absolutely necessary to have one gelato per day! 😉

That’s the rule because why are you going to Italy if not to enjoy yourself?! 🇮🇹❤️

What is your favorite flavor of gelato?

Throwback to our Southern Tuscany Dental CE trip in October 2019!

This is the view from Bagnoni Vignoni - a small quaint hilltop town that has thermal waters in Southern Tuscany.

We took a little walk up the hill from our hotel to walk around, have some gelato, and enjoyed the views!

Second picture is the view from Montepulciano on one of our day trips to hilltop medieval towns.
