Best cooking class! - If you’re looking for a private, authentic Italian cooking class you’ve found it! The host was amazing and we made 3 different types of pasta, a dessert, and ate them with a glass of local wine. We are not big fans of tiramisu and requested to make a different dessert so we made pistachio mousse. Excited to make pasta again when we get back home 😋

A Delicious Memory Created by a Kind Cook - I was very late arriving but my hostess was completely gracious about bringing me in and offering me the entire class. She showed me how to make 4 different kinds of pasta and a version of tiramisu. Everything was organized perfectly so that the pasta, folded around an unusual, pre-made pumpkin filling, could be cooked and served along with lovely appetizers, wine and homemade lemocello along with dessert. Mariolina is both an artist and a retired teacher, and it shows in her firmness, kindness, and patience. This was a day to remember!

Definitely take this class!! - This class is AH-MAAAZING!! Mario held this at her home and made us feel incredibly welcomed. Gorgeous home! Make sure you look at her beautiful artwork!! Our class consisted of making pasta and tiramisu. I was always intimidated hand making pasta but she made me feel comfortable and built my confidence! While waiting for our dough to rest, she had marvelous appetizers prepared for us. Besides it being tasty, they were prepared beautifully. There was so much food for us to eat during our class - the appetizers and the food we made. We were so stuffed after the appetizers, it was tough eating the pasta, but, as always, had enough room for dessert - tiramisu :) Coming from the states, we don't use raw eggs. This tiramisu was so light because it doesn't use cream. U.S. uses cream instead of raw eggs because of possible salmonella. Don't worry about the raw eggs in other countries. Everywhere besides the U.S. has REAL fresh eggs and eat them raw one way or another. Other countries rarely heard of salmonella issues. Believe me, I have an ultra sensitive stomach and will know if the food isn't fresh in 15 - 20 minutes. That maybe is a bit of TMI, but I didn't have any issues after eating half of the tiramisu. My friend and I still talk about the class, the food, and Mario. This class is a memorable part of my trip in Italy. I'm planning to come back to Brescia someday and take additional classes with Mario. Thats how much I enjoyed her! She has a beautiful heart!
