We had such a wonderful evening with Rosa! My husband and I booked our experience on our last night in Bologna, and it was such a great way to end that portion of our honeymoon. She was so welcoming and an amazing teacher -- I went into the experience with a good amount of experience making fresh pasta, and I left SO much more confident! Our meal was delicious, the wine was flowing, and Rosa even ran out to grab my favorite Emilian cheese when I mentioned that I loved it. Would highly recommend this experience! We had so much fun!

We are newly weds who came to Italy on our honeymoon & booked a last minute class the last night of our trip … what an ending !!! Not only did Barbara teach with such patience & expertise, she was also just a one of a kind human being ! From the very beginning she made each moment so special and this will for sure be a memory that my husband and I will carry through out our lives. We left having learnt how to make some yummy pasta but we also left with a new friend, Barbara ! We cannot thank you enough for EVERYTHING!!!

Consuelo was the greatest! She opened up her home to total strangers and we left as good friends and better cooks! She taught how to make homemade pumpkin ravioli, macaroni and spaghetti with meatballs AND Tiramisu !! We used Google translate and it was no problem at all. Best part of our Cruise adventure! I would highly recommend her services!! We love you Consuelo!!

Carlo was a fantastic host. Our goal in taking his class was to experience the real Italy, to get a sense of what it would be like to live there and enjoy delicious, home cooked meals. Carlo delivered on all fronts. His pasta is truly outstanding, and conversation is equally as enjoyable. We really appreciated how at home he made us feel, and how precise he was about his cooking. We are experienced home cooks and still learned so much. Thank you again, Carlo, for a wonderful evening of good wine, good food, and good conversation.

Very interesting experience and felt exactly like cooking at home and with my own family. Chief Enrico is very talented with an extensive knowledge about cooking and the history of Italian food. Everything was delicious and exceeded my expectations. Everything was just perfect, the whole family was very friendly, generous and welcoming! I’d love to repeat it with different Italian dishes. Strongly recommended! 10/10

We had an amazing immersive experience, visiting a locals home in Milan to learn how to make pasta and Tiramasu. If you are looking for an industrial kitchen and classically trained chef, this might not be for you, but if you are interested in being immersed into a local family’s home and learning recipes passed down from generations etc then this is perfect. Thank you to our host Paola and her beautiful family, we truly had an incredible experience and loved your family and hospitality.
