Shared Experience
Your experience
- Aperitif with Prosecco and seasonal appetizers
- Pizza topped with seasonal ingredients
We will start the experience with excellent Prosecco, purchased directly from the producer, accompanied by seasonal appetizers such as tomato bruschetta, extra virgin olive oil, local goat cheese, and cecina, a typical local specialty. We will then move on to preparing the pizza dough, exploring the differences between flours, the use of fresh yeast or sourdough, and the importance of resting time and temperature. Together, we will create the toppings, from the classic Margherita with local mozzarella, tomato, and oregano to any personalized requests. To finish, Italy’s most iconic dessert: tiramisu! Upon request, we can also prepare traditional local sweets.

- This experience was wonderful! We were paired with Monica who warmly welcomed us into her home and gave us a night to remember! We started by analyzing the unlimited number of available Italian flour before selecting the base of our pasta. She was patient and strict at the same time - exactly what you'd expect from an Italian teacher. We greatly enjoyed rolling the dough, making the sauces, cutting the pasta, and drinking the wine! Monica and her husband were super entertaining with their local stories and jubilant attitude. I was full for days afterwards. 10/10 would cook again!
- Our afternoon with Monica was wonderful! It was not only authentic and educational but Monica made us feel like family! She took the time to make sure we understood the techniques and we rested with good food, good company and good wine in between! Paolo, Monica’s husband was wonderful as well. He worked hard behind the scene to make this a memorable experience!
- It was truly a pleasure spending the day with Monica and her husband. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our pasta making and enjoyed the foods Monica prepared. She was such a delight! I would highly recommend this activity! The only negative I have was that there was no Market tour, which is how it was advertised with "Get Your Guide", but that was no fault of Monica's. She was simply the best!
- Monica and her husband were exceptional! They were warm welcoming and so wonderful! They asked what we wanted to make and were good at managing expectations due to time. They were so generous and knowledgeable and kind. It was a truly magical experience for my family. The children loved it! Thank you so much for a special memory and evening!!!
- Monica was absolutely incredible! She was patient, a great teacher and full of knowledge on how to cook the Italian way! All 8 of us dearly loved our experience and we all learned so much. This was well worth the money and it was one of our favorite experiences in Italy! We highly, highly recommend this experience.
