5 starts isn’t enough!! My husband and I absolutely LOVED our cooking experience with Simona and Carolina. Such an amazing way to spend one of the last days of our honeymoon. They were amazing instructors, and you can tell they have such a passion for authentic Italian cooking. Their hospitality was unmatched - we have been raving about the entire experience to everyone! I would book a million times over if I could. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!

I would give six stars if I could! The entire experience was excellent. Simona and Carolina welcomed us into their homes and hearts. And taught us a lot about the food, ingredients and techniques of Italian food, specifically from Lombardy. Simona's love for Italy, it's history and cuisine was very evident. Oh, and the food was great and there was an extra surprise at the end which we all loved. Strongly recommended!

We had the most spectacular time at our cooking class with Carolina & Simona. I felt like we were in my Nana’s kitchen. Such great techniques we learned and the food was delicious. We had our two little granddaughters with us and they were so patient and loving to them. ❤️. We can’t wait for our next trip to Italy and see them again.
