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.

Simona and Carolina were incredibly knowledgeable and sweet. They made the class enjoyable for seasoned chefs and beginners. They were so gracious in welcoming us into their home and giving some recommendations for not only cooking, but the rest of our trip. Would highly recommend!

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!
