Ciao Amici came to St. Michael’s School and ran a Make Your Own Pasta class. It was so well... done!!! We had kids from PreK 4 - through 8th Grade in attendance and everyone had such a wonderful time. Filomena and her team were amazing!!! We will be doing another school event with Ciao Amici in the future. If you have a school or scout group I highly recommend doing one of these classes. This was a winner!!! Five stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read more

Love Ciao Amici! I have taken three culinary classes there and am looking forward to my next... one...pizza making! Filomena and the staff of Ciao Amici are so welcoming and encouraging. I just love listening to Filomena teach! Every time she passes my workstation and says "Brava" I just beam with pride! This Irish/German girl is finally learning to cook Italian after being married to one for 24 years! Brava, Filomena Coccaro!read more

My whole family loves Ciao Amici and we can’t say enough great things about the school and Senora... Filomena. My children have been taking Italian lessons as well as participating in summer camps at Ciao Amici for 6+ years. They look forward to their weekly classes. We have done both in person and virtual classes and love both.read more

Filomena and Kelly took care of every single detail and made our first family trip to Italy beyond... amazing! They thought of everything. We visited Florence, San Gimignano on our way to San Quirico D’Orcia, also in Tuscany, Rome and Amalfi. Traveling with two teenagers and my mom for her 70th birthday made it very important for us to be comfortable and safe in addition to covering as much ground as possible in 10 days. All of their attention to detail, hotel recommendations and restaurants exceeded our expectations every time. Giuseppe who they scheduled as our tour guide and driver between all of the locations literally became part of our family. Thank you Ciao Amici for all that you did to make our trip amazing!!read more

Recommended and booked a perfect winery visit with personal guide in Rome to DeSantis winery and... Pope summer residence. Places were not touristy and guide was knowledgeable of history and even made us dinner reservation at a local restaurant after tour. Great day we would have never known to do without her help.read more

Filmomena planned a fantanstic (and quite last minute) trip to Italy for our family of five. She... took great pains to make sure we were well taken care of (since none of us speak Italian) and it was a trip we will remember forever. I couldn't recommend her more if you are considering a trip to Italy.read more

Ciao Amici is a FANTASTIC place to learn about Italian language and culture! We have a great time... each week speaking Italian with each other and Filomena does a great job incorporating various aspects of the Italian culture into lectures which include food from the region we are learning about!read more

Originally, I planned to merely take a refresher course to prepare for an upcoming trip to Italy. ... After a few lessons at Ciao Amici, I'm hooked! I just signed up for a new session. Filomena makes this more than just learning a language. We discuss Italian culture, practice our listening comprehension, read, speak, translate and occasionally enjoy Italian songs. The lessons are relaxed and well-paced but I always leave energized and enlightened. Bravissima, Filomena.read more

For those who want to learn Italian well, this is the place to go! Filomena teaches practical... information as well as the grammar specifics so much more than you can get from Rosetta Stone. She is patient with her students, answers any questions you may have, and makes it her mission to ensure that her students learn Italian well! I highly recommend!!read more
