Great cooking class with dinner on a terrace - It was a great experience, with a very friendly host. You can choose two of three possible pasta types, and also express extra wishes. The host is very open and warm and it was a lot of fun to prepare the noodles as well as the pesto. For anyone who wants to have an authentic Italian culinary experience, I recommend this course!

Great kitchen workshop with Alessandro - Great cooking workshop with Alessandro with whom we learned to make 2 types of pasta and the famous pesto genoese. Alessandro speaks French very well and took the time to explain everything well. We ended with the tasting of what we prepared with a glass of wine. It was a very good experience. We recommend.
