• Via Giuseppe Mazzini, 54 - Escape the tourist crowds and explore Calestano, a serene medieval village nestled in the Parma hills.

Participate in our exclusive cooking class (limited to 8 guests) held in a genuine family home with Virginia and Mamma Nadia — and be greeted by our cats, Cesare & Cindy. Together, participants will create two traditional pastas: tender ricotta ravioli and smooth tagliatelle, all crafted from scratch using seasonal, organic ingredients. Looking to enhance the experience? Opt for the optional black truffle upgrade, sourced locally from these hills.

After cooking, unwind on our panoramic terrace and savor a complete Italian meal: local antipasti with wine, your freshly prepared pasta, and our family tiramisù. Anticipate warm conversation, stunning views, and an abundance of wine.

Please note: depending on the selected option, the experience includes either a pasta tasting only or a full meal following the class.

No car? Assistance with arranging transportation from Parma is available.

This is more than just a class; it’s a taste of authentic Italy — to cook, taste, and share together.
