I enjoyed this immensely. Nicola and Simone were so welcoming and friendly, and Marianna is such a fantastic cook and took the time to help us all individually as we tried to learn all the pasta varieties. After making all the pasta and sauces we then all sat down and ate together. I would highly recommend doing this course.

Thank you Liz! A presto. Nicola, Simone, Marianna, Maia e... the little Nora!

Absolutely Amazing!

Talia_C, Sep 2021

Marianna’s Kitchen experience is an absolute treat! The program is very well organized and the recipes are true to Tropean cuisine and culture. Marianna is super patient and takes the time to walk each student through the process of pasta making ensuring they each understand the right technique. This experience overall is extremely fun, impactful and a great way to connect with locals and other tourists!

Thank you Talia! It was nice to meet you and Sonia! :) All the best, Nicola, Simone e... Marianna

Informative, interesting... and delicious!

This was excellent value! Thanks to Nicola and Simone for their guidance and interpretation, plus of course Marianna for the excellent food! It was fascinating to watch what is now clearly a dying art of pasta making by hand as she made the local pasta speciality Fileja, as well as showing us how to make Lasagne, Rigatoni and Spaghetti and several others I can't remember the names of. All washed down with the local wine... thanks very much. Eccellente!

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Nette Art das Wissen von den vielfältige Arten der Pastazubereitung zu vermitteln. Sehr gastfreundlich. Nette Menschen. Gute Qualität der Lebensmittel. Lokale Calabresische Küche.

Wir konnten hier einen Einblick in das fertigen der verschiedenen Pasta Arten bekommen, haben leckere Soße zubereitet und guten italienischen Wein getrunken. Es war ein toller Abschluss unseres Tropea Urlaubs!

Es war ein cooler und interessanter Abend mit tollen Beteiligten, kann nur weiter empfohlen werden.

Eduard_H, Sep 2021

Die tolle Atmosphäre . Man fühlte sich gleich wie bei Freunden. Dann Mariannas Kochkünste, tolle Tipps wie eine leckere selbstgemachte Paste entstehen kann mit wenig aber ausgesuchten Zutaten. Und natürlich Marianna , die mit Freude gekocht hat, und alle beteiligten mit ihrer Freude angesteckt hat. Wir können den tollen Abend und den Kochkurs nur weiter empfehlen.

Response from Host, Sep 2021
