5.00Grazia was very wonderful to me and my son, guiding us with such care as we learned to cook pasta from making dough to pasta shapes. The whole experience was truly lovely. Grazia and her family were incredibly kind and even shared dinner with us, which made the moment feel especially meaningful during the Christmas season. I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone to visit Grazia and discover the variety of pasta dishes she teaches. Thank you and Happy Holidays đđ

5.00My mom and I had an amazing time learning to make pasta with Maurizio. We made 3 pastas, each with a different sauce, and tiramisu. The recipes were delicious and unique, but simple enough that we will try to recreate them at home. We ate so much food and he even sent us home with the leftovers! It was truly a unique and unforgettable experience.
Unique fun experience

5.00Such a great experience! Paola's location was a short uber ride from the cruise port. We learned to make 3 types of pasta and then she prepared 3 wonderful dishes. Will never forget this fantastic experience! Grazie Paola!

5.00Spending a morning with Graziella and Andrea (Brian đ) was a highlight of our trip. We not only learned how to make a delicious pasta, we also learned how to hand-roll the dough. The ridges of the pasta really make the difference! We've already ordered the items we learned to use yesterday and are excited to make them in our home soon. Graziella and Andrea welcomed us into their home where we instantly felt like family. If you're on the fence, book the class; you will not regret it!!
Simply amazing

5.00Maurizio was a true professional, from the moment you arrived to the moment you left. Served a delicious spread of appetizers before you even started cooking. His directions were impeccable. It was some of the best pasta sauce Iâve ever eaten. He shared history of each dish and the reasoning of the ingredients. As well as shared his soul and passion for cooking. It was a relaxed homey atmosphere. I felt like I had known him for years! I look forward to returning with my daughters! Grazie
