Overview

You can discover one of the hidden gems of the Italian Food Valley: Calestano - a medieval village that you will not find on any map. Important: don’t worry if you don’t have a car to reach us. We offer a transfer service from the center of Parma (EXTRA). With my help you can learn the secrets of Emilian cuisine. You can replicate at home an excellent homemade pasta topped with an excellent Italian sauce. Thanks to this experience you can surprise your friends and let them know the true Italian gastronomic culture. Once the lesson is over you will be able to prepare fettuccine, tagliatelle and pappardelle and, if you need it, I will personally send you the recipes we made together. We’ll have lunch/dinner together and you can enjoy the pasta you made and we’ll end up with an exceptional tiramisu (my friends say it’s the best they’ve ever eaten. Would you agree?)

Meeting points

THE EXPERIENCE TAKES PLACE IN CALESTANO, but if you don’t have a car to reach us, we offer a transfer service from the center of Parma. IMPORTANT: maximum delay 10 min. You will need to notify in advance if you require transportation from Parma.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

Discover Calestano, a hidden medieval village nestled in the hills, far from the hustle and bustle of the cities, in the heart of one of northern Italy’s richest truffle regions. **Important:** If you don’t have a car, you can require our transport service to make your journey stress-free. We’ll welcome you on our panoramic terrace, with breathtaking views of the Parma hills. Then, together, you’ll make both long and stuffed fresh pasta. If you wish, you can enhance your lesson by choosing the option with local black truffle, a regional delicacy that will make your dishes even more special. My mom Nadia will share stories and insights into Emilian cuisine, while Cesare, our cat, will likely keep you company with a few meows. At the end of the lesson, you’ll savor your creations with Parmigiano Reggiano, local cured meats, and a homemade tiramisu that, we guarantee, will win you over. Join us for an authentic experience in the heart of the Food Valley. We’ll be waiting for you with aprons on, and don’t forget to come hungry :)

Best experience in my life

Pasta Special was the best gift I’ve ever received! It offered a truly authentic experience that feels like home, and most importantly, it made us feel so welcomed. It’s rare to find people like Virginia, who open their home with such warmth and hospitality. If you’re ever in Parma, I highly recommend booking this experience. It’s your chance to create unforgettable memories while enjoying delicious food made with love. Don’t miss out!

Pasta Special is an unforgettable experience that feels like home. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality that make you feel truly welcomed. It's not every day that you meet someone like Virginia, who opens her door and shares her passion for food in such a personal and inviting way. If you're in Parma, this is a must-try experience. It’s the perfect opportunity to create lasting memories while savoring authentic, delicious pasta. Don’t miss it!

The Best Parma Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Truly the highlight of our Parma experience! I cannot rate this high enough! Virginia was able to pick us up in the city center and bring us to the beautiful place her and her mother reside. Virginia is a fantastic instructor and we were able to relax on her balcony and eat some of the best pasta we’ve ever had. The ingredients were so fresh, we literally watched Virginia’s mom pick basil off of a plant on her balcony for our meal. We felt so at ease and would recommend this to anyone traveling to Parma!

Wonderful teacher in a beautiful mountain town

Published on Jan, 2025

Virginia did a superb job hosting our family and is a fun teacher! We really enjoyed our time in her home and would definitely recommend her class. The 45 min drive from Parma was also gorgeous and adds to the experience.
