Shared Experience
Your experience
- Potato gnocchi with meat ragù

You will learn how to prepare gnocchi in all their variations: classic potato gnocchi, pumpkin gnocchi, and traditional gnocchi di malga, typical of the Verona area.
You will be welcomed with an aperitif in the garden and, together, we will get our hands into the dough to create these specialties. The course will end on a sweet note with a dessert made of gnocchi with butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Everything will be accompanied by a good Valpolicella wine. This course is suitable for everyone: at the end of the experience, you will be able to easily recreate the recipes at home. As an old saying goes: “Laugh, laugh, because mom has made gnocchi!”

- The experience was wonderful! Cristiana welcomed us warmly and made us feel welcome right away. We learned how to make canederli, and time flew by between kneading the dough and one laugh after another. P.S: we have already tried to recreate the canederli at home, and they turned out great. Thank you, Cristiana!
- A real highlight of our trip to Verona! The pizza-making class with Cristiana was outstanding. The pizza tasted fantastic, and we took many valuable ideas and tips home with us. The course takes place at Cristiana's home, in a perfectly equipped kitchen with a real wood-fired pizza oven. The atmosphere was simply beautiful, warm, and personal. The classes are available at any time of day. We went in the morning, but an evening class is also possible. In addition to pizza, Cristiana also offers wonderful cooking classes for pasta and gnocchi. Getting there is also very straightforward: with bus line 31, it takes just 30 minutes from Verona, and the line runs every half hour. An absolute recommendation for everyone who loves Italian food and wants to experience something special in Verona!
- Our cooking class with Cristiana was hands down the highlight of our trip! We loved learning to make tagliatelle and ricotta gnocchi. Her property is beautiful, and we really enjoyed touring it. What made the experience so special was how Cristiana personalized the menu around our visit to our Castagna family’s ancestral hometowns nearby, connecting the dishes to how earlier generations might have cooked. Such a thoughtful touch! Cristiana was so warm and genuine. She even gave my daughter, who is studying in Florence, her personal contact information and told her to reach out if she ever needed anything. We loved the experience so much that we ordered her cookbook afterward! Everything about the day felt authentic and personal. Exactly what we had hoped for and a memory we’ll treasure!
- Beautiful experience! I went with my wife, my sister, and her boyfriend to take the canederli cooking class. It was fun, the place is beautiful, and Cristiana is very friendly, great at leading the lesson, and pleasant to chat with. We ate very well; she offered us appetizers, wine, and strudel... a very relaxing and fun afternoon! Absolutely recommended!
- Cristiana’s cooking class was wonderful from the very beginning when she welcomed my mom and I into her lovely home with open arms. We had an amazing tour of her beautiful home and learned about its history. At the outset, she also prepared some tasty snacks and local wine, which we were able to try before cooking. During the class itself, Cristiana was clear, patient, and funny — generally wonderful to be around — and we loved both pastas we learned to make. She was also incredibly helpful in provide local restaurant recommendations (we tried every one, and they were all amazing). I would very highly recommend you take a class with her to not only learn how to make amazing food, but also meet an kind and funny individual who loves to share her passion for food and meeting others. Thank you, Cristiana!
