27/05/2025: We had one of the most unforgettable and authentic experiences of our entire holiday in Umbria thanks to Simone and Mara, the wonderful couple behind Mr Cici in Spoleto.
While staying at a nearby Borgo, Simone came to host a private pizza-making evening—and the pizza was so good, our son devoured three margherita pizzas! We were very interested in learning how to make pizza from scratch, and to our surprise, Simone and Mara warmly invited us into their kitchen for a private pizza lesson. It was spontaneous, genuine, and deeply memorable.
Mara, who lived in Australia for 8 years and speaks perfect English, made us feel instantly at home. Both she and Simone are incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about food, and run an impeccably clean, welcoming kitchen. As we cooked, staff members came and went, and it was clear Mr Cici is more than a restaurant—it’s a family.
What truly made it special was how they included our children (ages 6 and 9), who were completely enamored with Simone and Mara and are still talking about them! It was a magical experience we’ll always remember.
Thank you, Simone and Mara, for your kindness, your warmth, and your incredible pizza. We hope to return one day!
