This was an amazing experience! Our host, Antonia, welcomed us into her home as if we were old friends. She shared the history of her family’s house which was very interesting! We got to be involved one step of the pasta making and cooking process! Delicious stuffed pasta! She served us snacks along the way, aged Parmesan cheese and salami.
We ended our class by eating the delicious food we made. She was so kind and gracious, she drove us into the city center to continue our day! Additionally, she and her husband own a restaurant in the main square, Angiol d’Or, and she made us a reservation!

Hi Tracy, thank you so much for your lovely review! It was truly a pleasure welcoming you into our home and sharing our family traditions with you. I’m very happy you enjoyed making pasta together and tasting the Parmesan and salami along the way. It means a lot to know you had a special experience.
It would be a pleasure to see you again in the future!
Warm regards.

Can’t believe it took only a few short hours to convince me I could actually start making filled pasta at home myself by hand, starting with a pile of all purpose flour and a couple of eggs. But better than the lesson was the pleasure of Antonia’s company. This was the highlight of our stay in Parma.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We’re so happy to hear that the pasta-making lesson inspired you to try it at home—it’s amazing what a few simple ingredients can create! It’s even more rewarding to know that the experience and company made it the highlight of your stay in Parma.
We hope to see you again soon!

Could not have asked for a better evening!! It was our favorite night in Parma!! Antonia was the perfect host & her home is beautiful!! We felt at home from the second we walked in!! Everyone loved learning Antonia’s family recipe for pasta & we had a ball making it together & then eating what we made outside under the twinkly lights!! We were able to walk to & from her home & again…can not say enough about this amazing night!!! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!!
