Hi from Marzia!

"My house borders the 'di bandella' nature reserve, where the animals of the forest still live. It is a house on one floor, without architectural barriers, recently renovated: modern and equipped kitchen, guest reception room, oven wood, eat-in kitchen on the veranda outside, where we have the Pratomagno massif in the background. I have a large vegetable garden, where I try to stock up on products for the winter and lots of farm animals. When the time comes I go in search of herbs spontaneous, in order to make the filling for ravioli, and I dedicate myself to mushroom picking."

First I would like to mention that Marzia is a wonderful hostess and teacher! We created a 3 course meal: ravioli spinici, tagliatelle pomodoro, and tiramisu! Each course created came out fit for serving to our own guests. We learned the proper technique for kneading and stretching the dough for the pastas, and whipping the egg whites for the tiramisu. All this while conversing via google translate when points of clarity were needed. She will provide all the recipes for us to recreate this meal at home. All in all it was a highlight of our vacation here in Italy.

If I could give an extra star I would! My wife an I had a wonderful time with Marzia and highly recommend her. We speak English and Marzia speaks Italian. This made the experience much more memorable and fun. We all had to concentrate more on communication with each other and it wasn't an issue. The technique we learned to make raviolis was simple and they turned out so delicious. We can't wait to make them at home during the cold winter months. Marzia is an absolutely wonderful teacher and more importantly a wonderful person and a joy to be around.

One of the best experiences we had during our 3-week holiday in Italy. Marzia gave us a warm welcome and a very personal and passionate pasta workshop. Although the high outside temperatures, the pasta-making was so relaxing and calming. Our 2 children (age 8 and 10) loved the workshop as well and Marzia was a great teacher. The best pasta we ate! We would recommend this workshop without a doubt.
