5.00Great experience, Enzo is a super kind host. The experience is also a social one, you can spend a nice evening with strangers connected by the passion for goos Calabrian food. Nonna Minna was very authentic!
Amazing cooking class experience!

5.00We loved this expereince so much! Mima and Enzo were both so helpful and informative. We had always wanted to make our own pasta and were so glad to be able to do it for the first time in Italy. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic cooking experience in Tropea. Just make sure you come hungry!
Fun experience

5.00A good fun night in a small group. Enzo and Mimma were great. Pick and drop was really appreciated. Can't wait to get home and try what we learnt.
A delicious four course meal, that you get to make yourself!

5.00A fabulous experience, we’ve always wanted to learn to make pasta, and we made two different varieties, as well as an appetizer and tiramisu for dessert. All using fresh Calabrian ingredients. Mimma is a wonderful chef, demonstrating how to make the dishes, whilst Enzo translated in English. (Although we understood Mimma by watching her expert hands) Thank you for a great night of wonderful food, wine and making new friends.
Super tasty experience

5.00My wife and I had a fantastic time at the Tropean Cooking Experience. Chef Mimma and Enzo were a brilliant double act, with Mimma showing us the traditional techniques and Enzo translating and keeping us all entertained. As well as throwing in some tips of his own! The whole experience is around 3.5 hours and it absolutely flew by, helped by some delicious red wine! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tropea and looking for an authentic hands-on evening whether in a group or on your own. The food was so delicious we practically had to be rolled out of the door!
Wonderful Experience

5.00This was a great experience. We have taken several Cooking Classes in different countries, and this was one of the best. If you are visiting Tropea, I highly recommend you consider this.
5 Stars! A must do experience.

5.00What a wonderful cooking experience. What really stood apart was that we made 4 dishes. So many cooking experiences only have you make 1 dish. We made 4. Enzo and Mima were wonderful teachers. We were sent photos from our experience almost 5 minutes after we returned to our resort. Grazie Enzo and Mima. Thank you for your experience and patience with us.
Fun, friendly and delicious

5.00A fantastic evening. Vincenzo was a great host and the food we cooked with 'Mima' was so delicious. We are a family of 4 with 2 children aged 19 and 17 and everyone enjoyed it. It was an evening with lots of laughs and mistakes on the way. I would highly recommend using Visit Mediterraneo
It doesn't get any better

5.00Just like you wish and imagine an Italian cooking class. Enzo was a super host and Mimma is exactly how you imagine an Italian cook. It was a wonderful experience. It was a great little group and we learned a lot from Mimma. Thanks for the unforgettable evening
