5 star 🌟

We had such a fun time at our cooking class in Riomaggiore! From making fresh pasta to learning how to prepare an authentic Italian meal, it was a perfect way to experience a little more of the local culture. Our instructor was wonderful, the food was delicious, and of course… we may have sampled a little wine along the way! 🍷😂

Wonderful hosts, delicious food, beautiful setting!

We had an amazing experience with Barbara and Stefano, learning how to make authentic local food. They were so knowledgeable and shared their insights willingly, not just about the food we made with them but also on details such as what to look for when shopping for ingredients when we get back home. They were charming and witty and the experience is one we will fondly remember for a very long time. We would absolutely take another class with them!

Do not miss! A perfect taste of Ligurian cuisine!

We took the ferry from Monterosso to Riomaggiore for our class. It was a beautiful ride, but our time with Lucca was even more magical. Lucca is a delightful host. We learned history of the food and he was very funny and kind in his instruction. Our meal was perfectly delicious! It was our best night in Italy/CT so far. Would highly recommend this amazing class with Lucca!

Yummy pasta and tiramisu making!

We had an absolutely marvelous cooking class. It was the last night of our family vacation and such a perfect end. My entire family came home eager to make pasta and replicate the recipes. Guilia was a patient and gracious teacher and made everything look easy. We highly recommend this experience and plan to take more cooking classes on future trips.
