Embrace the Italian Lifestyle with The Local Aromas Family
Five years in the making, and honestly, probably ten years in our hearts.
The Local Aromas Family is our Italian online community. However, it is not something we suddenly decided to create one day. Instead, it has always existed. We simply needed time to give it the right shape.
When we started our food and wine experiences company back in 2016, every guest left with a small round sticker that said, “Welcome to the Local Aromas Family.” Along with it, they received Benedetta’s phone number, which many of them literally stuck to the back of their phones.
We always told our guests the same thing: “Please call us if you need anything while you’re in Italy.”
And yes, people actually called.
Over the years, we shared tips, gave local suggestions, helped with last-minute problems, and even went to the hospital with guests during emergencies. We did it because, for us, family always comes first.
That sense of family has always been the foundation of Local Aromas. Although we are a family-run business, it has never really been about the business. It has always been about the people.
How the Community Came to Life
After the sticker days, we looked for ways to stay in touch with the people who had become part of our lives. First, we tried newsletters. Then we experimented with Facebook groups. Still, something felt missing.
So in 2020, we decided to build our own space. At first, it looked like an online school. Over time, however, it slowly evolved into something much bigger: a community.
We built it, tore it down, and rebuilt it more times than we can count. Every question, every request, and every comment you shared with us, both online and in person, shaped what this space would become.
Those who have been with us for years know just how wild the journey has been.
And now, we are finally opening the doors to the newly designed Local Aromas Family.
The Local Aromas Family, just like it was in the very beginning.
Our hearts always knew where we were heading. It just took our minds a little longer to catch up.
In the end, we came full circle.
Built on People, Not Algorithms 👩❤️👨
We brought the same family-comes-first attitude into this community.
The Local Aromas Family is built on people and on real human connection. It is about feeling seen, heard, and welcomed, even when you are on the other side of the world.
Because of this, relationships come first. Conversations matter. And everyone has a place at the table.
A Calm Space, Not Social Media 🤳
Of course, you can find us on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. We love sharing there and connecting with people. Still, social media can feel loud and overwhelming.
That is exactly why we created a space that feels calm, safe, and intentional.
Inside the Local Aromas Family, everyone is welcome. Differences are respected. Opinions are shared with care. Most importantly, we look after each other like family.
100 Percent Made in Italy 🇮🇹
We are Italian. We live in Italy, in Rome. Naturally, the Local Aromas Family is all about Italy.
We are not here to teach you. Instead, we are here to share our culture.
Here, you can talk endlessly about what you love about Italy without ever feeling like you are annoying anyone. Honestly, that alone feels pretty liberating.
At its heart, the Local Aromas Family brings people together through cooking, eating, drinking, and celebrating the genuine Italian lifestyle together.
