So much fun. We had a delightful evening in Julia’s home, learning to make pasta and tiramisu from a professional chef as well as learning about Italian culture. We were warmly welcomed and treated like old friends. Highly recommend!

We had the best time cooking with Giulia and learned so much. She was so accommodating and we made the most delicious food! I can’t wait to make the pasta and tiramisu at home!

My fiance and I took a cooking class with Barbara, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. We happened to be the only two in the class, which made the experience feel incredibly personal—almost like going over to a family member’s house to help cook dinner. Barbara welcomed us with warmth and humor, and before long we were laughing, chatting, and learning the secrets behind some amazing Italian dishes. The food we made together was absolutely delicious—simple, fresh, and full of flavor—and we left with not just full stomachs but full hearts, too. If you want an authentic, home-style cooking experience filled with laughter, great conversation, and incredible food, you can’t go wrong with Barbara’s class. It felt like spending an afternoon with family in Italy. Highly recommend!

We had the absolute pleasure of joining a home cooking class hosted by the most delightful couple, Barbara and Stefano, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends. Their warmth and hospitality made the entire experience feel personal and unforgettable. The class itself was incredibly well-organized and engaging. We learned to make fresh pasta from scratch - kneading, rolling, and shaping it with expert guidance - as well as a rich, creamy tiramisu that we'll be dreaming about for weeks. Their instructions were clear, hands-on, and easy to follow, even for beginners, and we picked up so many useful tips along the way. They also provided us with a taste of 5 different bruschettas! What made it even more special were the breathtaking views that surrounded us while we cooked and dined. It felt like a scene from a movie - sharing laughter, good food, and wine with wonderful hosts in a beautiful setting. This wasn’t just a cooking class - it was a heartfelt experience that combined culture, connection, and cuisine. We can’t recommend it enough!

Giulia was our host for the pasta and tiramisu cooking class. It was a fabulous experience! She was knowledgeable, an excellent teacher and so sweet and fun. And don’t tell the Michelin rated restaurant that we ate at the following night, but our meal that we made with Giulia was way better! Can’t wait to try making pasta, ravioli and tiramisu when we get home from our vacation. Giulia also made us a bruschetta and cheese appetizer to munch on while we were cooking. We loved the relaxed and delicious experience. Add this to your list for sure!!!

We had a wonderful time learning to make fresh pasta and tiramisu with Guilia! She was very patient with us :) We made spinach/ricotta ravioli with sage butter sauce and tiramisu. It was a great experience and would highly recommend this activity to anyone heading to Cinque Terre!

This amazing experience just up the hill in Riomaggiore was so worth it. We had superb food and conversation and came home with a new skill instead of a trinket that will sit in a shelf. The host was wonderful and we all had a great time. One of the highlights in our trip!
