    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.

    Our experience with Simona and Carolina was fantastic--10/10! We had so much fun, learned amazing recipes and techniques, and had a DELICIOUS meal. We highly recommend you book this lesson, as it will definitely be a highlight of your trip (just like it was for us)!

    Simona e Carolina sono state stupende. Hanno avuto un grande pazienza e disponibilità. Ci siamo divertiti tantissimo grazie per la vostra disponibilità e una serata indimenticabile, un abbraccio dalla Germania

    Un’esperienza davvero speciale. Carolina e la mamma Simona ci hanno accolto nella loro casa con una gentilezza e un calore rari, facendoci sentire fin da subito non come ospiti, ma parte della famiglia. La loro passione per il cibo e l’ospitalità si respira in ogni dettaglio: dai piatti curati e deliziosi, fino ai sorrisi sinceri che ci hanno accompagnato per tutta la serata. Anche la dolcissima cagnolina Carlotta ha contribuito a rendere l’atmosfera ancora più accogliente e familiare. Tutto perfetto: ci siamo sentiti a nostro agio, coccolati e benvenuti. Un’esperienza autentica che porteremo nel cuore. Consigliatissima, per chi cerca molto più di una semplice cena!
