- We had a wonderful cooking class with Gigliola and Sarah. We were welcomed into their beautiful home with open arms, tasty appetisers and a glass of prosecco. We were given excellent tuition and they kept all of us interested and entertained. Our 14 and 11 year old children were transfixed, and are amazingly looking forward to trying to recreate when we get home. Thank you so much for your tuition, incredibly tasty food, and most importantly, your friendship and warm welcome. A real highlight of our holiday.
- A wonderful experience! Gigliola is a special person: she teaches you how to make fresh pasta with patience, passion, and great care, but above all, she makes you feel at home. She left me with a wealth of emotions that goes far beyond a simple recipe. Five stars... only because you can't give more! Highly recommended.
- Gigliola and her daughter were lovely hosts and we not only enjoyed the amazing class, but also just spending time with them. They made us feel welcome as if we were family! The location was be easy to get to and the food was incredible. We would HIGHLY recommend!!!
- We really enjoyed our cooking class with Gigliola and her daughter. They were welcoming and made the experience fun, relaxed and very tastefull. Learning to make fresh pasta was great, and the ravioli with spinach and ricotta turned out delicious. A lovely way to spend a few hours and learn new cooking skills. Grazie!
- Our time with Gigliola and her daughter Sarah felt less like a cooking class and more like stepping into a warm Italian sonnet. From the very first welcome—Prosecco in hand and friendly conversation—we felt truly at home. The ingredients spoke in their own language of beauty: tomatoes bursting with the soul of Sicilia, basil freshly plucked from the garden, golden homemade olive oil, and garlic with the earth still whispering on its skin. Every element felt like a stanza from Italy’s rich, edible poetry. Gigliola guided us through each verse of the culinary experience with grace. From kneading the pasta dough to watching ribbons of tagliatelle emerge from the machine, from stirring the rich nonna’s sauce to shaping ravioli—it was all joy and artistry. Dinner was a masterpiece: laughter, storytelling, and a table filled with flavors that sang. And just when we thought the poem was complete, dessert arrived—sweet as Vin Santo, crisp as Florentine cantuccini, and unforgettable as a line of verse you carry home in your heart. A truly poetic experience—one we’ll savor long after the plates were cleared.
