Amazing and immersive Italian cooking experience with Catia! - We had the most amazing Italian cooking experience with Catia! She welcomed us into her cozy home and shared her cooking skill, delicious recipes and fascinating stories about the recipes, the region, and her life as an Italian. Catia is so fun and interesting and skilled! And the food…. molto delizioso e bello!

Fabulous and unforgetable experience - I absolutely LOVED my cooking experience with Catia. I learned so much about the food and food culture of the Veneto region. I stepped out of my food comfort zone and loved every single flavor I tried. Catia is so welcoming and kind. She invites you into her home and then teaches you how to create a divinely delicious meal. I got to make the hollow precisely 4cm long gargati pasta that you can't even get in stores because no one has the machine with the right "bronze die" to make it! It was an unforgettable experience and truly one of the highlights of my trip to Italy. Catia was even so kind to come pick me up when I couldn't find a taxi to get me to her home! I would highly recommend this experience! Go spend some time with Catia!!

Warm Welcome and Tasty Generous Dinner following Vegetarian Cooking Demonstration in Local Home - The hostess, Catia, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the local cuisine. She shared family cooking stories and made a delicious dinner complimented by a wonderful wine. It was fun to be in a local’s home vs in a restaurant for a change. I am confident I can recreate what I learned from the cooking demonstration. The menu was vegetarian. I am a meat eater. I did not realize the menu was vegetarian until I was back in my hotel reflecting on the evening. The meal was so tasty and interesting that I did not miss the meat!

A wonderful way to experience Padova! - My cooking experience with Catia was the highlight of my stay in Italy. She welcomed me warmly to her beautiful home, after she had shown some really impe ressive sights of Padova's history. During the cooking experience I had a wonderful time and got a glimpse of the rich tradition of Italian cooking, especially of the region Venetia. And the Food was excellent, of course! I especially appreciated that I could savour vegetarian and vegan dishes with seasonal products. And Catia showed me a few ways to adapt recipes to a plant-based preparation of food. What a wonderful experience!!!!

Failure - Not recommended!!!!
The food was delicious, but the provider only gave the host's name at the last minute and only after asking.
It was also "advertised" that those involved could speak English...unfortunately wrong.
It wouldn't have worked without a well-known translation app.
The food was more than overpriced for the price quoted!
Not a second time
