Hi from Carlo!
"I love good food and I have been cooking for a lifetime! For years, I have also been dedicated to the search for cuisine that is not only delicious but also health-conscious: low-cholesterol and low-sugar desserts, and homemade pasta made with stone-ground flours from small mills... In many cases, it is possible to cook great dishes with local ingredients, without compromising on health." However, this should not be an excuse for creating mediocre dishes: if they are not good, it's pointless for them to be healthy!
My specialities
- Fried sage
- Potato tortelli with duck sauce

- This was the best thing we did! Such an amazing time and we enjoyed learning about making pasta and cooking.
- Our private cooking class with Carlo was the highlight of our trip! If you enjoy being immersed in the culture of locals then this class is a great choice. We spent the evening in Carlo’s home kitchen making pasta and sharing conversation. You can tell Carlo takes great pride in his work and is an exceptional cook. We have been in Italy for over a week now and this was definitely the best meal! If you wonder if Carlo is the right person to book with, look no further! It doesn’t get better than Carlo!
- Carlo was a wonderful host and the food was amazing. I can’t wait to try to recreate his recipes at home!
- Carlo was delightful and very accommodating. The food and wine were delicious. Quite nice to be in someone’s home.
- Carlos was fantastic! Loved the market and authentic neighborhood experience. Loved learning how to make fresh pasta and the food was amazing.
