5.00If I could give this 20 stars I would. This was an amazing experience that we will remember for years and years. This reminded me of a Sunday dinner with family. Lara was so welcoming, accommodating to our kids (8&4) and we learned so much about Italian cuisine. This experience is an absolute must.

5.00Our host, Angela, was incredible and welcoming. Aside from the cooking itself, she told us about the area, history of some of the local delicacies and recommended us foods to try. Angela is an amazing cook, she taught us a lot in a short period of time, shared her knowledge with us and took time to show us how to prepare each of the dishes. We had a go at preparing the pasta and dessert ourselves, which was lots of fun. Would thoroughly recommend the experience!
Phenomenal

5.00It's a great experience. Angela was a great teacher and hostess, taught me Tortelloni, Farfalle and Penne. Pesto Genovese, of course, homemade with fresh ingredients... just heavenly. And as a dessert, a tiramisu with Angela's secret ingredient. A big thank you to Angela for her patience if I haven't always been very skilful.
Intimate, warm atmosphere...

5.00What a fabulous morning with Maria Luisa & Ilaria, they made us feel incredibly welcome, like we had known each other for years! Knowledgeable and happy to help a couple of novice pasta makers. Highlight of my trip to Modena. Will visit again, highly recommended.

5.00Maria Luisa was excellent. She showed me how to make tortellini, and was a great teacher. She did not speak much English, but it was fun using my Italian. I would recommend this class for anyone.
