This cooking class was... - This cooking class was great. It was just me and my wife and a husband and wife showing us how to make multiple Italian dishes. Camila and Samuel were great. They prepared zucchini and bruschetta while introducing us to new foods. The atmosphere was great and the food even better. Highly recommend this class.

Family cooking experience - Camilla and Simone welcomed us into their home as if we were old friends. Camilla had all fresh produce for our cooking experience. Everything was explained and very hands on.

Best people, fun experience, delicious everything! - Camilla and Sam are such wonderful people and teachers! We felt very at home making pasta with them - they are generous, curious, and incredibly knowledgable about pasta, wine, and oil. They taught us the correct way to do oil tasting and it was very high quality, much like all the rest of the ingredients provided during the day. We got to eat in their lovely garden where they grow their own herbs and vegetables. It was also my birthday and they made sure it was a spectacular one! I would highly recommend this course for anyone who would like a lovely pace of day for their pasta making experience.

Book this fun & family-friendly experience! - Do not hesitate to book this experience! I’ll echo other reviewers who specifically call out the kindness and hospitality of the hosts. There wasn’t a moment of awkwardness, we felt welcome in their home immediately. Our 7yr old son had a blast with their sweet kids and mixed learning / getting messy making pasta, with playing and hearing about local kids’ lives and experiences. The pasta was delicious (you’ll leave with the recipes you made!) the wine was flowing and their home was warm and welcoming. We now count Camilla & Samuel as friends. I’ll add that if you happen to be traveling with an only child this is an EXCELLENT way to clock time with other kids while on a family vacation.

Lovely evening making pasta - We had a lovely evening making traditional pasta dishes with a warm, hospitable and very accommodating Italian family! The home was beautiful with a lucious garden. Our children are 9 and 11 years old and they loved every minute! We enjoyed delicious wines and made different types of pasta from scratch. After we finished making the pasta, we enjoyed the meal we made together. We will certainly cherish these memories! Highly recommend!

Highly recommended experience - We spent a very entertaining afternoon at Camille and Samuel's house and also learned some cooking. It is a highly recommended experience in which you will find yourself at the home of friends. We cook tagliatelle charcoal and lasagna. For dessert we had panettone, everything was very good.

Amazing experience - We had an amazing time with this wonderful family. They are great hosts and are passionate about good food and wine. We learned how to cook pasta from scratch and can’t believe how fun the whole process is. My three teenagers were engrossed in the experience the whole time. Would highly recommend adding this to your trip!
