- I am over from Ireland for a few days and wanted to do something a little different, I had a fantastic 3-hour cooking class with Mauro. He welcomed me into his home, which made the experience feel really authentic and personal. We made two types of fresh pasta from scratch and a delicious tiramisu, and Mauro guided everything clearly and at a great pace. Along the way, he shared loads of insight into Italian food, traditions, and techniques, which added so much more to the experience than just following recipes. It was relaxed, well organised, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. I came away with new skills, great recipes, and a much better understanding of Italian cooking. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a memorable and hands-on experience. Thank you Mauro ☘️
- It was a very pleasant experience, the friend who was with me shares my opinion. Thank you.
- We had a great time with Mauro. We learnt a lot about the Italian and Venetian cuisine and Mauro was a great host!
- Mauro was a great host and showed us 3 pastas to make and welcomed us into his home, including spritz and a sparkling beverage I believe (prosecco?). The food was wonderful and so was the whole experience.
- The food was delicious. Also, Mauro was very friendly and gave some good information that was useful for our trip. He answered all questions we had. I look forward to making his recipes at home.
