Wonderful experience! - This was an absolutely wonderful class! From the warm welcome until the end, it was tremendous. They took the time to explain everything about what we were cooking and even provided a notebook to write down ingredients and instructions. The food was amazing and delicious! My wife and I have never found myself to be wine drinkers, but the wines they chose paired perfectly! Learning how to correctly make Tiramisu was great and it was better than any I've ever had in the U.S. 10/10 would recommend.

Absolutely Wonderful! - My fiance and I took a cooking class with Barbara, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. We happened to be the only two in the class, which made the experience feel incredibly personal—almost like going over to a family member’s house to help cook dinner. Barbara welcomed us with warmth and humor, and before long we were laughing, chatting, and learning the secrets behind some amazing Italian dishes. The food we made together was absolutely delicious—simple, fresh, and full of flavor—and we left with not just full stomachs but full hearts, too. If you want an authentic, home-style cooking experience filled with laughter, great conversation, and incredible food, you can’t go wrong with Barbara’s class. It felt like spending an afternoon with family in Italy. Highly recommend!

Do not miss out on this excellent cooking class! - We had the absolute pleasure of joining a home cooking class hosted by the most delightful couple, Barbara and Stefano, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends. Their warmth and hospitality made the entire experience feel personal and unforgettable. The class itself was incredibly well-organized and engaging. We learned to make fresh pasta from scratch - kneading, rolling, and shaping it with expert guidance - as well as a rich, creamy tiramisu that we'll be dreaming about for weeks. Their instructions were clear, hands-on, and easy to follow, even for beginners, and we picked up so many useful tips along the way. They also provided us with a taste of 5 different bruschettas! What made it even more special were the breathtaking views that surrounded us while we cooked and dined. It felt like a scene from a movie - sharing laughter, good food, and wine with wonderful hosts in a beautiful setting. This wasn’t just a cooking class - it was a heartfelt experience that combined culture, connection, and cuisine. We can’t recommend it enough!

Incredible experience and Meal!!! - Giulia was our host for the pasta and tiramisu cooking class. It was a fabulous experience! She was knowledgeable, an excellent teacher and so sweet and fun. And don’t tell the Michelin rated restaurant that we ate at the following night, but our meal that we made with Giulia was way better! Can’t wait to try making pasta, ravioli and tiramisu when we get home from our vacation. Giulia also made us a bruschetta and cheese appetizer to munch on while we were cooking. We loved the relaxed and delicious experience. Add this to your list for sure!!!
