An Unforgettable Evening with Cooking with Nonna

Dana_M, Oct 2026

Worked for 41s Here’s a first draft that brings in the food and the fun of the evening: We had the best time at the Cooking with Nonna class in Tropea. Enzo brought together a lovely group of ten, and we all clicked right away. We laughed, joked, and shared stories while learning to make a wonderful meal together. We made tiramisu with mascarpone and whipped cream, a soffritto with Calabrian onions, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes, two kinds of pasta, and zucchini-flower fritters. Everything was delicious, and sharing the food and wine afterward made the evening feel like a gathering with friends. Nonna was so warm, and Enzo did a wonderful job making the night special. He even took photos and a group picture so we could remember it. This was much more than a cooking class—it was one of the highlights of our time in Tropea. We’d recommend it wholeheartedly.

Response from Host, Oct 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Creating authentic Calabrian culinary memories and connecting food lovers from all over the world is at the heart of what we do at Visit Mediterraneo. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Nonna’s kitchen in Tropea for another unforgettable evening of fresh pasta, local wine, and traditional Calabrian recipes! Best regards. Enzo

A very fun evening. Nonna was fabulous, Enzo does a great job organizing everyone. Nice group of people. Food and wine were good and now I can make pasta!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Grazie Mille, Lynn! It was a pleasure. Best regards. Enzo

5 Stars! A must do experience.

Dwight_G, Jun 2025

What a wonderful cooking experience. What really stood apart was that we made 4 dishes. So many cooking experiences only have you make 1 dish. We made 4. Enzo and Mima were wonderful teachers. We were sent photos from our experience almost 5 minutes after we returned to our resort. Grazie Enzo and Mima. Thank you for your experience and patience with us.

Excellent Cooking Experience in Tropea

Kristin_G, Apr 2025

Amazing Experience. Enzo was a great host and Mema, the chef, was the best. Enzo picked us up; Mema went to the market and picked all fresh vegetables. Pasta making was great fun.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Grazie, Kristin! Enjoy the rest of your trip in Calabria. Enzo

Learning to cook with new friends

Michell_G, Aug 2024

We enjoyed getting to know our host and chef. At the end of the evening- it was like eating with family. Appreciated the photos taken while we learned how to make pasta and recipes provided afterwards. Will be sending pictures back to the host to show pasta making progress.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Ciao Michelle! Let our guests feel at home is our mission! Enjoy Naples! Best Regards Enzo

Enzo arranged for a perfect evening of cooking and meeting new friends. From start to end, Enzo was charismatic and made sure everyone was comfortable and had everything needed. It was easily the highlight of our trip and he organized everything to a tee - thank you Enzo!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Grazie, Matthew! To the next adventure in Calabria Kind Regards Enzo

A wonderful experience!

Vanesa_S, Jul 2024

I can’t say enough about what a great experiences I had! Enzo happily picked me up at the train station so I could attend the event and I felt welcome immediately. Our group was small (5 adults) and we got along very well and had a wonderful time learning about techniques used in preparing pasta and other great dishes. Not only was it a wonderful experience, but I made some new friends. After we prepared the meal we had wine, the delicious food we made, and had a chance to get to know everyone. It was truly a memorable night! Thank you Enzo and Mimina for a great night. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone that is looking for something fun to do in Tropea
