We’re now pasta pros

Published on Dec, 2024

Carolina and Simona made the night so much fun. One of our group had difficulty standing and they were so accommodating. We really enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot. Plus got to eat a great meal!

Wonderful experience for kids and adults

Published on Dec, 2024

We had absolutely the best time with Sara! We came with two children ages 9 and 11 and she was absolutely perfect with them. She treated them with warmth and kindness and respect and included them in all aspects of cooking. We were so touched by how kind and understanding she was of our kids and their ages. We all had the best time. We learned so much. Sara had everything ready for us when we arrived. We were able to immediately get right into it and we got to chit chat and get to know each other while we cooked. She chose recipes that were perfect for our children and our dietary restrictions. She was patient and made everything fun. I would very very highly recommend this experience.

Best cooking experience!

This was one of the best tours I have ever done!! Beautiful home and they were great in showing how to cook Italy’s best meals. I would highly recommend this to everyone!

Wonderful Italian cooking class!

Published on Nov, 2024

My friend and I took this fabulous class with Simona and Carolina. We had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed the warmth of being welcomed into a real Italian family's home. They were very well-organized and showed us great tips and tricks to make velvety and delicious tiramisu and the best pasta I've ever made! It was so good and we really enjoyed the kind and warm personalities of the mother-daughter team. They were great and I'd highly recommend this experience!

Incredible experience!

Carolina and Simone welcomed us into their home for this fabulous cooking class. They made you feel at ease while cooking 3 delicious courses. We were able to learn so much about true Italian living.
