- Knowledgeable and very friendly hosts It was a great experience for us
- We had a great experience learning local traditions in their beautiful home. We learned how to make pasta from scratch and plan on taking those skills back home with us. The views during dinner were fantastic. Both Simona and Carolina were exceptional hosts, both so inviting. We really enjoyed our experience with them!
- What a wonderful and memorable experience we had with Carolina and Simona! We had so much fun and the food was amazing.
- This was my first interactive cooking class and Simona & Carolina made it such a wonderful experience. They welcomed us into their home and provided us with such a warm and enjoyable experience. As someone who doesn't have a ton of cooking experience, they made the entire process simple and easy to learn with their clear instructions. We came away with some of the best pasta and tiramisu we have ever had and can say we were able to contribute to this thanks to our wonderful chefs Simona and Carolina!
- This was the most amazing experience! simona, Carolina, and Antonio were the sweetest most amazing people we have every met on our trip. The food was absolutely fantastic and I learned so so much!! We appreciate this experience so much. I 100% recommend
