    Simona and Carolina were incredibly knowledgeable and sweet. They made the class enjoyable for seasoned chefs and beginners. They were so gracious in welcoming us into their home and giving some recommendations for not only cooking, but the rest of our trip. Would highly recommend!

    Carolina and Simona were superb hosts. From the moment we pulled up to their home they were there to greet us. They were so welcoming and their home is beautiful. It was truly a unique Italian experience, would highly recommend! They were so organized and they worked seamlessly side by side supporting our culinary experience. The food was incredible and meeting their puppy Charlie at the end of the night sealed the deal as a spectacular all round adventure!

    Such a great experience for my husband and I! We learned a lot about how to prepare pasta and tiramisu! One of our favorite experiences on our trip

    We had an excellent time with Carolina and Simona. The tiramisu was divine and learning to make pasta was so much fun! The best part, though, was enjoying the fruits of our labor and having time to chat. Highly recommend making time to do this experience on your itinerary.

    We enjoyed the visit to the home of Carolina and Simona and the pasta making course. Whenever we got stuck somewhere in the paste production process, a helping hand was there for us. Every step was explained well. The sauces Carolina produced for the two types of pasta were good, particularly the pesto which was made with ingredients from the balcony. It was nice, to see a real and nice Italian home. Also we enjoyed the discussions with Simona about the life in Italy.
