Ciao! I’m Francesca Montillo, founder and owner of the award winning travel company Lazy Italian Culinary Adventures. As a proud native Italian, I’ve made it my mission to share the magic of Italy with you—one unforgettable bite at a time! Whether you join one of my signature culinary adventures or opt for a private, custom trip, I’ll be your dedicated Chief Travel Planner and guide. From the first espresso to the last glass of wine, I’ll make sure every detail is taken care of, so you can fully savor the sights, tastes, and unforgettable moments that Italy has to offer.

How to Know if You'll Love
Traveling with Us
Come Sapere se Ami Viaggiare Con Noi
You Love Food, Fun & Friends
Get ready to share food and break bread with strangers who will become dear friends and future travel buddies. Traveling with me is like traveling with your long-lost cousin who knows the ins and outs of Italy. I’ll tell you where to shop, where to eat, how to haggle for a discount at the market, and may suggest you don’t order that decaf cappuccino after lunch! Fun is always guaranteed!
Same Home Base for The Week
We're not into hotel hopping or cramming a bunch of to-dos every day. This is not a hop on/hop off tour - this is a culinary adventure. This means you only unpack and pack once, and spend the rest of your valuable time immersing yourself in the Italian culinary culture.
You Can Appreciate Our Travel Philosophy
Our aim is to engage you in regional and local Italian cuisine and culture. You’ll sample local products, meet local cooks and producers, and can appreciate family run establishments, local gems, small shops, and authenticity. You’ll savor every moment you’re traveling with us, both literally and figurately.
