- Mauro made this experience an absolute highlight of our entire trip. My daughter had wanted to learn how to make tiramisu for years, but I was always too intimidated to try making it myself. Thanks to Mauro, that dream finally came true. He was such a warm, welcoming, and kind host. Even when my daughter had trouble with part of the tiramisu recipe, he was incredibly patient, calmly walking her through each step until she got it right. His encouragement and genuine kindness made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. The fresh pasta was equally fantastic. Mauro happily adjusted the recipe to accommodate our family's dietary restrictions, and the result was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this class. You don't just leave with a wonderful memory of your trip to Venice—you leave with skills you'll use for a lifetime. In fact, we've already made Mauro's tiramisu recipe at home, and we felt like old pros! It's one of the best souvenirs we could have brought back from Italy.
- We attended a cooking class with Mauro through an excursion with Viking. He was a wonderful host and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves making pasta and tiramisu! His expertise is great and I highly recommend the class.
- I am over from Ireland for a few days and wanted to do something a little different, I had a fantastic 3-hour cooking class with Mauro. He welcomed me into his home, which made the experience feel really authentic and personal. We made two types of fresh pasta from scratch and a delicious tiramisu, and Mauro guided everything clearly and at a great pace. Along the way, he shared loads of insight into Italian food, traditions, and techniques, which added so much more to the experience than just following recipes. It was relaxed, well organised, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. I came away with new skills, great recipes, and a much better understanding of Italian cooking. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking for a memorable and hands-on experience. Thank you Mauro ☘️
- It was a very pleasant experience, the friend who was with me shares my opinion. Thank you.
