Truly an exceptional experience. Our host and her family welcomed us into her home. We learned how to make two different types of pasta and tiramisu, and left not only with that knowledge but also a greater appreciation of Milan. Our hosts love and pride for Milan and their willingness to share led to an evening we’ll remember forever.

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.

Disappointing cooking class- request a refund

James_O, Jun 2026

Our feedback was this was not a cooking class just preparing dough for the pasta and put through a pasta press… no cooking lessons on the Tiramisu as it was pre-made day before which was disappointing… I would suggest providing a proper cooking class and make the food advertised! We expected an authentic cooking class especially learning how to make tiramisu. We were also disappointed to receive a call at 9.30am on the day of the cooking class to reschedule our cooking class for the afternoon which didn’t suit us as we had plans in the afternoon and had to cancel to attend. We would like a refund!

Truly an exceptional...

This was a fantastic experience! You get to be in an Italian home to get a real sense of the culture and appreciation for Italian cooking. Our host Francesca was incredible. We loved this experience.

Un'esperienza meravigliosa!

Richard_K, Oct 2024

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

Jane_E, Oct 2024

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.

Dinner + Dessert

Grace_S, Sep 2024

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!

Cristina_M, Jun 2024

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!

Sandra was very kind and a very good instructor. Amazing food and very educational. Lightest pasta ever. YouTiramisu was perfection.

Living it up like a Milanese !

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!
