The mother and daughter were both a complete delight! We learned a lot, and had great fun doing it. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. And the meal (that we helped prepare) was fantastic!

This was truly the best experience. You leave with great knowledge of pasta making, but the best part is the joy this mom and daughter duo provides. We already had a huge hiccup with the booking and they were the most patient and kind people I have ever met, helping us figure everything out. This class made many laughs and a lifetime memory.

We had the best time today sharing our day with both you and your mom. I loved learning how to make the pasta and felt like we were family by the end of the time together! You were both a delight and would do your class again!

This pasta making class was amazing! Carolina and Simona were so friendly and personable. We learned to make a couple different kinds of pasta and tiramisu. They both were delicious. Their home is lovely and has amazing views of the mountains!
