5.00We had such a great time. Our chef Danielle was so informative- we made pasta from scratch and he added so much to the experience. The class size was perfect as we shared stories over wine!! So worth the trip. And the town is so beautiful.

4.00Daniella was a great instructor and very patient while teaching us about making orchiette with a simple tomato sauce and plentiful wine to enjoy. Our only complaint was we were sent an old address and the wrong Google maps link, so it was only by the kindness of locals that we were able to finally locate it a little late and very flustered! We were sent many reminders and updates by email - but all consistently had the wrong details.
Orecceptional!

5.00Excellent experience. We learnt more than just how to make orecchiette but how to complete an entire meal in a proper way, from the pasta > sauce > components of the dish itself. Daniele was an exceptional teacher and made for a very relaxing and fun few hours. Highly recommend!
Loved this!

5.00I absolutely loved this pasta-making class! The experience was fun, hands-on, and so rewarding. The instructor Annamaria was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, patient, and encouraging. She broke down each step of the process in a way that was easy to follow, making even the most intricate techniques feel approachable. I appreciated the little tips and tricks she shared—things you’d never find in a recipe book! By the end, I felt confident rolling, shaping, and cooking my own pasta from scratch. The atmosphere was welcoming, and her passion for cooking was contagious. I left not only trying the delicious pasta we made, but also with the inspiration and skills to make it again at home. Truly a wonderful experience—I’d highly recommend this class to anyone! Grazie Annamaria!
