    Nice and kid friendly experience. Focus is on how to make the pasta and ravioli which was really delicious. Want the kids to learn how to make and prepare unprocessed or little processed food for their selves.

    Un'esperienza meravigliosa!

    Our hosts were most gracious in opening their beautiful home to us, and the experience was most pleasant--the hands-on making of the pasta and tiramisu under their guidance. And the food was delish. Definitely a great way to interact with the locals in their home and have an enjoyable evening with new company. I would definitely do it again.

    Fun cooking class

    It was interesting cooking in someone's home. We got there easily on the tram from where we were staying. The owner and her son looked after us very well. The owner spoke reasonable English and had her son translate as needed. We made tiramisu and 2 types of pasta. Afterwards we ate what had been made and it was delicious. There was also a very well chosen red wine.

    Amazing experience

    Amazing experience with Guliana as our host in Milan. This is by far the best food related activity I have ever done on Viator. The thing is that when you book this activity the location is not given until later so it may be further than you think or not with a host that you see written about in the reviews, they base it on your location you submit I believe.

    We were able to visit and work in the home of our teacher. It made the experience realistic! She set the table with China plates and silverware. Fabulous adventure!

    Best time pasta making!

    Oh what an experience! Julianne and Filipino opened the doors of their home to give us a formidable pasta making class, as well as tiramisu. Highly recommend it!

    Our experience with Sissi the "Cesearina" was time and money well spent. The food and company were both excellent. Sissi made us feel welcome in her home...like friends that stopped over for a few drinks and good conversation. We all took our time putting together the evenings recipes while Sissi shared her knowledge of Milano, it's food, and it's people. Eventually we all sat down to enjoy our creations with plentiful aperitivi, Prosecco, Limoncello, and dolci. Everyone left well fed ! Thank you Sissi 💕

    Amazing experience for all!
