Dinners and lunches with an Italian family
selected for you.

We know you’ve come here hungry for new experiences, and we want you to get a real taste of Italian culture.

Get out of the exchange-student bubble

Eat real Italian food

We believe that you can’t truly get to know a country until you get to know the local people. As an international student, it’s easy to spend most of your time with other international students and isolate yourself from the locals. Getting to know an Italian family in their natural habitat, at the dinner table, is the best way to discover how Italians live, and learn to eat like a true Italian.

Practice the local language

Whether you already know Italian or want to learn it, Dinehome is the perfect opportunity to dive headfirst into the local culture. What does impara l’arte e mettila da parte mean? Ask your family!

Make new friends

Life as a student abroad is exciting but also comes with many challenges: take the opportunity to share them with supportive people who want to get to know you for who you really are.

Meet Rohit, a student from Pakistan:
he had dinner with Debora and her family 🇮🇹

It was a really amazing experience, because I could practice my English and Italian skills, learn a lot of typical dishes, talk about the Italian culture and show them my culture as well.
