“A wonderful experience - I had great communication with the host/chef regarding details on how to arrive at location. The environment was very warm and friendly. The instruction was very thorough and I learned so much. I was introduced to everything from vegetables I had never used before to using a pasta machine and even knives and how to use them. I learned about the local cuisine and the history of how recipes and methods have evolved over time. I enjoyed dining with Matteo and his wife after we had prepared our meal. I highly recommend this experience with Matteo.” - Reviewed on 2025-03-12
