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!

A cooking experience - If you don’t take this cooking class, it’s your fault – an experience you don’t want to miss! Mariolina is a very friendly, funny and warm woman who spoils her guests with joy and teaches them how to cook. I am very happy that I was there, and will definitely come back on my next holiday!

Fantastic Italian Cooking Workshop! - Fantastic Italian Cooking Workshop! Mariolina is such a wonderful person! It was truly special to have this experience in her home. She has an incredible amount of knowledge about authentic Italian food and it was so much fun to finally learn how to make pasta and tiramisu ourselves. The other dishes we tasted were also absolutely delicious. We hope to see you again!

Unforgettable experience - We very much enjoyed the coziness of Mariolina. The cosiness of her house, the good food and the interest of this Nonna made the workshop unforgettable and highly recommended for our next holiday. Of course with another lesson, but that possibility is also there.

Super cooking course - What a super fun cooking workshop, with a very nice sweet hospitable woman 'Mario' It was really a private cooking course for 2 people. We first made tiramusi and pasta dough. After that Mario had already prepared delicious snacks which we first went to eat while enjoying a glass of wine! Then we made the pasta, tagliatelle, tortellini and ravioli filled with ricotta and lemon....iig delicious. While we were allowed to taste the homemade limoncello, 'Mario' cooked the pasta in a few minutes with a delicious homemade pesto. In the meantime a lot of chatter! to conclude of course ate the tiramusi! Lovely evening and we will definitely go back sometime when we are in the area!
