A culinary treat! - This was hands down the best meal we’ve had in Italy—and one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Michela, our host and professional chef, was an absolute joy from start to finish. She’s warm, passionate, and has a gift for making everyone feel welcome, no matter their experience level in the kitchen.
I’m not an experienced cook by any means, but Michela made the entire process approachable, fun, and relaxed. We started the day with a visit to a local market where we learned about regional ingredients and chatted with the vendors. Then we walked to her beautiful home, where we enjoyed a delicious spread of local cheese, fruit, and wine before diving into the cooking.
With Michela’s guidance, we prepared fresh pasta and tiramisu—she even let us sample her own tortellini and generously shared some of her personal recipes. Cooking with her felt more like spending time with a friend than taking a class. We ended the evening around the table, enjoying everything we had made, paired with excellent local wines.
I definitely prefer this experience over a more traditional cooking “class.” If you’re in Verona, don’t miss it.

Perfect immersion into local food and culture - The tour began with introduction to our remarkable guide, Mikaela, a chef with deep knowledge in food, wine and all things Verona. This was followed by a visit to a nearby local market where we saw every fresh local delicacy you can imagine and spoke with the people who provide them. Following a short walk back to her apartment we began with a wonderful cheese, fruit and wine spread, and then a fun, easy going session in the kitchen where we prepared fresh pasta and tiramisu. Mikaela is a natural teacher, who imparted us with confidence to imagine preparing fresh pasta at home! We dined together, and enjoyed the accompaniment of fun local wines. What a pleasure it was to meet our host and experience her enthusiasm and kindness. We often choose these “immersion” experiences with cooking in local guide’s homes. They have never disappointed. But this one stands out as the best ever!

Best Cooking Experience - This was a fabulous experience! Michela was a great hostess. She took me to a cheese shop at the market, a pasta-making shop and a pastry shop—all local places not tourists. Then we made pasta and tiramisu. I was able to use the pasta machine with the crank, which I have at home but was nervous to use—not any more. Finally, we shared a delicious meal. Al in all the day felt like I was hanging out with a friend in Verona. I highly recommend!

Wonderful lesson with an amazing home cook! - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Our home cook, Michaela, brought us to several local shops and along the way shared interesting historical information about the city of Verona. We arrived at her lovely apartment to find a beautifully set table, aperitifs with antipasti and delicious local wine to start our lesson. We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu, and then we enjoyed our meal with Michaela. Truly a wonderful experience!

Cucinare con Amore - We had an amazing experience. Michela was a gem. She took us on a short tour of her favorite places. She assisted with tips in making our pasta dishes and the tiramisu. We truly felt the love in her home and our cooking.

The bustling Verona Piazza - The best place I found for markets was the site of the Roman Forum in Verona, Piazza Erbe. It was a very active Piazza on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.
The Arco della Costa——-The bridge was essentially a safety net for the magistrate and legal personnel from any of the potential danger on the street below (especially at night). It was a connection between their residences and the law offices. It probably proved very useful for disturbing the public and drunkenness, during the middle of the night.
Torre dei Lamberti——— I wasn’t able to go in, but it’s an impressive structure that dates to circa 1100. I think I used it as a way of getting an idea of my whereabouts within Verona. My photo was taken from Piazza Erbe.

Very nice experience but not what we boiked and paid for. Plan well in advance - The experience itself was fun, great family bonding, kids were frilled. They loved the dog as well. We made simple bruscetas, ravioili with ricota and basil and tiramisu cream. The problem is that we booked 5 hours experience in Verona, while we got 3 hours cooking 10 kms outside Verona. The cost was 600 eur plus 60 eur return taxi, which is exuberant price for the time and food we got. The adults practically went out hungry. One bottle of still water per person, one bottle prosecco, shared with the host, no other refreshment, even coffee. I would still recommend it highly, just not at this price we paid and better if you can have a car. Try to book well in advance to make sure about all arrangments and expectations are met. Between Viator, Cesarina and the host, information is taking time, you may book something not doable at your time slot and you will be offered something different with no refund.
