Giacomo opening his home... - Giacomo opening his home doors to us for this wonderful experience was better than expected. We got to know a little about his culture and family life which made this experience even more authentic! Food was wonderful and he was a great host. We left with a great experience and someone who we can gladly call our friend.

Perfect local and authentic experience! - Making pasta with Giacomo was a fantastic experience! Escaping the city center to have an authentic experience was the perfect thing to do (especially on our rainy day). It was just my girlfriend and I in the class, and it was very welcoming and a great small setting. He is very personable, and knowledgeable and can answer any travel questions you may have! The two pastas we made were delicious and the wine pairing and coffee brought it all together.

Great intimate cooking class in an Italians home. The perfect experience ! - This class was the most perfect experience! We wanted to take a more intimate cooking class that had more personal instruction and didn’t feel mass produced in a shop. Giacamo was SO friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him and about his family and his daily life. His house was clean and he was very well prepared for the class. It truly feels like we made a friend in Italy! The food was also delicious! We made two different pasta dishes, and giacamo had a homemade desert for us as well when we were done cooking. He also offers wine. If you are worried about this class being a little out from the city center, don’t be, it was very easily accessible by public transport and in a very safe neighborhood.

Exceptional experience - We loved everything about this cooking class - learning from a real Italian man, who put a lot of heart to his job. It was so fun and cozy! We want to come back again!

Intimate Cooking Experience. Highly Recommend! - We were looking for an authentic experience and it surpassed our expectations. Giacomo is a warm and engaging host with a knowledge of cooking that has been passed down from his grandmother. It’s obvious that his grandmother is a very good cook; he has inherited her love of cooking and is gracious to share his skills with others. The meal we prepared with him was superb! Highly recommend.

Very nice host and a lovely workshop to do on a cloudy day - It was a very nice workshop, just with your own group (i did it with my boyfriend). We learned a lot about italian food and other. The host was very friendly and we really felt at home. Would definitely recommend, ideally for a more cloudy day.

I had a ball, learned a lot and enjoyed the fruits of my labor along with the fruits of the wine grapes. - Giacomo Pratellesi was a wonderful host, as well as lunch companion. The best part was that WE made that lunch - from scratch. I had always pictured myself going to Italy, finding a Nonna and having her teach me her family recipes and teach me to make fresh handmade pasta. I did not get the Nonna, but I did get her grandson who is carrying on the family recipes for his 101 year old Nonna. I had a ball, learned a lot, and enjoyed the fruits of my labor along with the fruits of the wine grapes. It's a great price. It's an intimate experience. Giacomo is a delight.

Wonderful experience with friendly host and great food - We had the absolute pleasure of taking a pasta-making course with Giacomo, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we started, it was clear that he not only has incredible skill and knowledge about Italian cuisine, but also a warm and welcoming personality that made the entire class so much fun. Giacomo was patient, engaging, and made sure everyone was having a great time while learning. He showed us some recipes from his grandmother which made the experience extra authentic. We had the best time and left with not only delicious pasta but also wonderful memories. Highly recommend!
