    A fun and delicious way to spend an evening in Sanremo!

    MaryBeth_W, Sep 2024
    Our host, Monica, was an absolute delight! Not only did she teach us to make pasta the correct way, she wove in stories of her family, a bit of history and lots of good humor! This is a must-do if you have the opportunity. 5 stars, Monica! Buon appetito!

    A wonderful, delicious pasta-making experience!

    An amazing experience. Monica is so warm, friendly, fun & knowledgeable and Diego prepared the delicious pasta perfectly for us! Myself, my husband and two teenage daughters all really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend Pasta & Basra to everyone.

    The only experience you need, Basta!

    Monica was an experienced, funny, and knowledgeable host. We thoroughly enjoyed the pasta course and would recommend it if you want to understand how to make pasta and its underlying history, culture, and science!

    Hospitality at it’s finest.

    Highly recommend this event! The hosts were wonderful and Monica is a fantastic teacher. She shared culture with the cooking lesson and tied it all together with humor. The experience was very enjoyable and the food was delicious. It was definitely great hospitality!

    Great experience!! 🍝

    Leonie_W, May 2024
    Monica is a great host and teacher, she is very warm, funny and passionate about pasta. We got to do all the steps of making three different kinds of pasta (Ravioli, Tagliatelle, Orecchiette), which was very fun and satisfying. After that, we enjoyed our first pasta. Meanwhile Monica and her husband Diego did some magic in the kitchen and already prepared the other two sauces. Everything was delicious and Monica also shared some useful Italian vocabulary and fun facts about the Italian lifestyle. We had an extremely great time and would definitely recommend it!

    Great evening, interesting and entertaining!

    Everything here went smooth: booking, payment, communication. Monica (and her husband Diego in the background) provided us with a fantastic evening. She is sharing an avalanche of interesting and entertaining facts, and there is a lot to learn. It is living room-style, so relatively simple and down-to-earth (plastic plates and water to drink), but this didn't bother us. Three kinds of pasta with three different sauces, you won't leave her appartment hungry! Great value for money, super atmosphere, absolutely recommendable!

    Wonderful pasta making experience

    Just Do It!

    Worth every cent! This was one of the best activities on our French Riviera trip. Monica is absolutely amazing, and our meals turned out delicious! Who knew I could make pasta!? And what better place than in Italy?

    Perfecto!

    Completely, Speechless!! This was an amazing experience. Definitely a must when you in Sanremo!! Monica and her husband are amazing hostesses. The energy and history behind the experience is eye opening.

    Absolutely Fantastic

    This was the best cooking experience I ever had! Monica and Diego were so welcoming in opening up their home to us during this cooking experience. The stories they shared, the Italian culture they presented, and the food we made was absolutely incredible. 10 out of 10 I would definitely recommend!!

    Fun pasta class

    It was a small group and was personal and engaging. Totally a fun experience, with stories, a little history and each person was engaged in every step of the process.

    Everyone had a wonderful time making pasta and then eating it. It was delicious. Our hosts were friendly and they made all of us feel very comfortable in their home. The view was amazing which made the experience of making pasta even more beautiful.

    Great experience

    Weronika_K, Sep 2022
    We had a great time at this pasta making class. It was all very hands on we made 3 different pasta varieties and were given the ingredients to make the sauces, the final pasta dishes were really delicious. Monica and Diego were both amazing and made us feel so welcome in their beautiful home.

    Beautiful experience

    Ich kann diesen Kochkurs jedem weiterempfelen. Monica war sehr nett und freundlich meine Frau und ich hatten sehr viel Spass und lernten als Pasta liebhaber neue coole Sachen kennen. Die Location war mit dem direktem Blick auf dem Meer von Sanremo auch wunderschön.P

    Excellente Expérience Exceptionnelle

    CATHERINE_G, May 2024
    Cette expérience avec Monica a été une découverte et réussite totale de la fabrication à la dégustation des différentes pâtes. Monica est incroyable, drôle avec ses anecdotes et très efficaces car nous avons parfaitement réussi nos raviolis, nos tagliatelles, et nos orecchiettes. Toutes ces pâtes ont été dégustées avec des sauces délicieuses dans un cadre magnifique vue sur la mer.

    Une magnifique expérience
