Most Amazing Dinner - We had the best time ever with Daniella and learned how to make tagliatelle with pesto, tiramisu, and a red meat sauce. It felt like we were cooking with family!

Exceptional culinary experience in La Spezia - Paola was an absolutely wonderful instructor and gracious host. She was so kind to open up her home to us for a few hours as we learned how to make delicious pasta and tiramisu. Their home is lovely and has a gorgeous view of the town, so that was the cherry on top! This was the highlight of our visit to Italy. We felt we had a very genuine experience that allowed us to truly feel connected to the culture. We are so grateful to have booked this class and 100% would recommend this to anyone seeking a unique, personalized activity to include in their family trips.

Top notch cooking experience - We took the pesto and pasta cooking class hosted by the fabulous Paola and Massimo, and it was a blast! From the start, their warmth and charm made us feel right at home. Paola's passion for pesto and Massimo's pasta wizardry had us kneading, rolling, and laughing the whole time.
By the end, our homemade pasta and pesto were restaurant-worthy. If you're thinking about taking this class, stop thinking and just do it! Paola and Massimo are the dynamic duo you need in your life for a top-notch, fun, and delicious experience. Mangia!

Nice cooking moment shared with Daniela - Great time shared with Daniela and her husband. We learned many things (especially about gnocchis) and ate very tasty and good food. Some receipes are easy to prepare and so delicious (sgabei for example).

Best experience ever! - I don’t even have words to express how wonderful this experience was for our small group of 4. Roberta and Ricardo not only opened their beautiful home to us, but they made us feel like family too! The food was beyond amazing. In fact, no other Italian food we ever eat will be as good! This was a once in a lifetime experience we will NEVER forget.

Book this, you won’t regret it!! - We loved our experience and highly recommend to everyone. We enjoyed the following: fresh focaccia with the most delicious cheese, meats, egg plant and tomatoes, made fresh pasta and had it with both pesto and tomato sauce, enjoyed tiramisu which was absolutely incredible! We enjoyed the company and I was also celebrating a birthday and she gathered a candle and birthday hat to sing “Happy Birthday” it truly was as one of the highlights of our vacation.

Very disappointed - We did not do this class! Unfortunately I did not receive the address either via email or WhatsApp; the phone number provided for the cesarine did not work for me either so when I tried to call or text via WhatsApp it never went through
