Exceptional

Claudia was a wonderful host, and exceptional teacher. She made sure I understood the value of measuring, the type of flour and eggs that are best to use. I learned what dough should look and feel like when preparing and rolling it out. That is what makes the difference in the success of your pasta. We made two different fillings, but the fun part was filling and shaping the tortellini, tortelli and more. She made time to show me the different instruments and how they effect the shape a texture of the pasta. It was so fun!

Georgia_G, Sep 2026

Amazing interactive and delicious experience

We had such a fantastic experience at our cooking class! We were given prosecco on arrival and a red wine with our meal, as well as being offered non alcoholic drinks throughout the experience. We made tagliatelle from scratch, tiramisu and tortelloni. Only downside was that we didn’t get to make our own sauces and fillings or see how it all got cooked but our guide gave us all the recipes and great explanations on this and we were probably better off for it. We were helped every step of the way to ensure our meals didn’t suck and everything was truly delicious! Can highly recommend for all age groups. Meal was vegetarian by nature so also suited for pescatarians and vegetarians.

Perfect way to spend the day learning about how Parmesan cheese is made. We were very lucky to be able to taste the cheese of the white cow…delicious! Our tour of the Lambrusco winery was quite an experience. The museum is full of amazing relics and we were lucky enough to meet the owner, Giacobazzi! The balsamic vinegar was incredible! Learning how long it takes to mature and eating a fantastic lunch at this quaint B&B was a great way to end the foody portion of the tour. Highly recommend, especially if you’re also into seeing the history of the Lamborghini, which is also quite amazing!
