This was such a great experience. Simone and Caroline made the pick up and drop off very easy, and we had a great time learning to make tiramisu and pasta. This was a fantastic experience and I cannot recommend it enough.

Dave - August 2025

Carolina and Simona were superb hosts. From the moment we pulled up to their home they were there to greet us. They were so welcoming and their home is beautiful. It was truly a unique Italian experience, would highly recommend! They were so organized and they worked seamlessly side by side supporting our culinary experience. The food was incredible and meeting their puppy Charlie at the end of the night sealed the deal as a spectacular all round adventure!

Such a great experience for my husband and I! We learned a lot about how to prepare pasta and tiramisu! One of our favorite experiences on our trip

Laura - July 2025

We had an excellent time with Carolina and Simona. The tiramisu was divine and learning to make pasta was so much fun! The best part, though, was enjoying the fruits of our labor and having time to chat. Highly recommend making time to do this experience on your itinerary.
