Enjoying good food is always a great pleasure, and there is nothing better than savouring dishes prepared by yourself under the guidance of experts: step by step, I will show you how to make fresh tagliatelle or ravioli and reproduce the best traditional Italian dishes, which you can then enjoy while sipping good wine and chatting and laughing.
It was amazing! A good mix between looking how it's done, and doing it yourselves. And it tastes so good!

Upon our arrival, Giovanni welcomed us to his home with prosecco, water, and snacks. His home has an interesting mix of antique art & furniture and modern appointments. After Giovanni explained and demonstrated how to make tiramisu, ravioli, and spaghetti, he gave us the opportunity to try making each. He was patient and thoughtful. We worked in his kitchen and ate the food that we prepared in his dining room. It was a very hot day, but his home has air conditioning and we were very comfortable. The food was delicious and there was a lot more food than we could eat. He offered wine with the food and limoncello afterwards. The experience was excellent, and we highly recommend it.

A really enjoyable evening. Giovanni and his wife were wonderful hosts. He was an excellent teacher and the subsequent meal was delicious.

My thought as I rated 4 stars was that I had hoped for a bit more hands on. We did get a chance to try Giovanni’s tasks, however, briefly. Also, I had requested English and it worked out with some technology but the language barrier did play a role in the end. We did learn pasta but we’re not privy to the filling recipe or the sauce recipes. I suppose that is a technicality. All in all we are very happy that we did this experience.
