We had a great time at Gabriella’s house learning about Italian way of living and of course Italian food. Few secrets were shared (will not go further 😊) and we had a fantastic experience, easy talking and tasty food at the end. Recommend to all. Great way to learn about Italian cooking.

Amazing experience with the most lovely hosts. We were matched with a lovely family in Lesa and they were not only amazing chefs but also such great hosts and really invited us to their home like close friends. We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu and were treated with even more food and drinks. What was a bit sad that it wasn’t possible to get in contact with the hosts directly before and even though you fill in a questionnaire about location and food preferences and other info, the hosts told us not all info (e.g. that one of our friends had her birthday that day) was passed on to Them. Info that one of us was a vegetarian was well passed on though and was very well taken into account.
