- Me and my son, 15 yrs, had a wonderful experience learning how to cook pasta in a beutiful family home. The hospitality was fantastic and we felt very well taken care of. Now we are buying our own pasta machine to further develop our skills. A highly recommended activity and memorable day of our journey. 👌🏻🇮🇹
- Our experience was wonderful! Maria made very different dishes than the usual pasta. We loved the appetizer, meatballs, eggplant, wines and cherry tart. Maria and her husband were very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this food experience.
- What a great afternoon we had with Cristina and Enzo in their amazing kitchen! We loved every moment of their charming hospitality. Cristina let us help with making the pasta. Her kitchen is downright dreamy. I highly recommend this experience and know that it will probably be the highlight of your trip to Italy.
- Fantastic experience!! Christina was warm and welcoming. We have a great morning cooking in her kitchen!
- We have been touring through Italy for 2 weeks and seen many gorgeous cathedrals and food tastings but nothing compared to this tour! What an authentic, fun, tasty experience!! We loved our Cesarina so much! She took us to all the local shops to collect the food we were going to cook, every detail of our meal was hand picked from local vendors and we got insider knowledge of the choices that were best to shop at. Then we arrived to her home and were blown away by how beautiful it was with all the authentic Italian decorations and family style kitchen. We made the most incredible meal and really enjoyed getting to know our Cesarina and her husband and their lives as well as her cooking. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone! We would eat at Christina's home every day of the week!! Thank you!

Here, in this house that gives access to a garden of secret beauty in the back, we have the occasion to meet our Guide who – as she tells us – has always loved to cook, ever since she was a little girl. Her passion for cooking was passed down to her by her mother and her grandmother who, with great mastery, would serve up extraordinary menus of which she holds the secrets today.
