- My experience with Catia was lovely. She and her family were wonderful hosts and I learned so much. I very much appreciated the close-knit family feeling of the class. What an excellent experience I'll get to re-live again and again as I make these recipes with my family at home!
- Catia and Augusto were incredibly welcoming and generous. We learned a tremendous amount about local food and culture. The pasta and tiramisu we prepared under Catia’s guidance was delightful. I highly recommend spending time with Catia.
- We had a truly special experience with Cesarina Catia and her husband. They welcomed us with great warmth, immediately making us feel at home. During the lesson, we prepared handmade tortelli together, explained step by step with passion and simplicity: an authentic and engaging moment. Everything concluded with a truly excellent tiramisu, prepared with fresh ingredients and lots of passion. It wasn’t just a cooking lesson, but a real convivial experience, rich in tradition and a family atmosphere. Highly recommended for those who want to discover Parmesan cuisine in a genuine way and experience a unique moment!
- This was one of the highlights of my time in Parma. Catia and her husband, Augusto, welcomed me warmly into their beautiful home and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. Catia taught me how to make fresh pasta in her own kitchen with so much passion, patience, and care. Catia also taught me how to make tiramisu and honestly, it was the best tiramisu I have ever tasted in my life. Both the pasta and tiramisu were far better than other expensive restaurants. You can immediately tell that Catia truly loves cooking and sharing her knowledge. The class was supposed to have up to six people, and I was surprised and touched that they still went ahead even though I was the only one booked that day. That alone shows how dedicated Catia is to what she does, and how supportive Augusto is of her passion. They are such a lovely, kind, and generous couple. They even helped me book a taxi back to my Airbnb since I speak very little Italian, and they sent me home with the entire tiramisu all to myself. It’s such an incredibly thoughtful gesture. This was more than just a cooking class. It felt like being welcomed into an Italian family’s home. I left not only with new cooking skills, but also feeling inspired to take learning Italian more seriously. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Parma! It is truly unforgettable.

Catia taught me how to make fresh pasta in her own kitchen with so much passion, patience, and care. Even though she speaks only a little English, communication was never a problem. She spoke mostly in Italian, which actually made the whole experience feel even more authentic and special. Augusto kindly helped with some translation when needed, and together they made the class feel relaxed and enjoyable.
