- This was an amazing class and cultural experience that I would highly recommend. I spent a morning learning to make and cook pasta with Luisa and her family, culminating in a lovely lunch with the family. I learned a ton and felt so welcomed in their home. It’s great to get away from the tourist and spend some time with an Italian family. I have already put my new skills to work and prepared a fresh pasta meal for a dinner party. Delicious food, warm and fun people, what else could one ask for 🤩. Book this experience now!
- My husband and I took Luisa’s cooking class and it was my favorite part of our Italy trip. Luisa welcomed us into her home and taught us how to make amazing pasta and sauces and dessert. While we were waiting for our items to cook, she served us an amazing spread of fresh home-baked bread, wine, cheese and charcuterie straight from the farmer - it was a heavenly spread for foodies! I love to cook and it was wonderful to learn how to make so many different pastas and sauces from scratch. We also got to meet Luisa’s wonderful children and husband and share our meal with them. The conversation was so fun and we learned so much! This was such a lovely authentic Italian experience. I highly recommend Luisa’s class and would love to take it again!!
- The cooking class with Luisa turned up to be way more than just a class. We met all of her family, who helped us and translated when needed. We had dinner together with them, talked, laughed, and had a wonderful time. Luisa is an exceptional lady, her food was delicious but her company was even better.
- The cooking class with Luisa was the best activity we did in Bergamo. Luisa welcomed us into her home and taught us how to make three different types of fresh pasta and sauces. We also had an aperitif followed by a lunch with her family which was very nice and it was really great to talk about Italian culture and life as we enjoyed the pasta that we prepared that morning. Luisa was very kind collecting and dropping us to the bus stop. It was a very enjoyable morning and an authentic Italian experience.
