Wonderful, fun and authentic experience!

Pauline_L, Jul 2025

I travelled with my sister. We both had such a great time with Nico and Pilar! Nico is full of passion for cooking and loves sharing his story. He told us how he learned to make pasta from his Italian mother when he was just five years old, and you can really feel the love he puts into everything. We learned how to make traditional Argentine pasta from scratch, and the whole experience was very authentic and personal. Nico explained everything clearly and made it fun and easy to follow. Pilar was also lovely and made us feel right at home. It was more than just a cooking class—it felt like spending time with old friends. Highly recommended if you want to enjoy great food and learn about local culture in a warm and friendly setting!
