A real family home. A medieval village in the Parma hills. Fresh pasta made by hand, a panoramic terrace, and an Italian lunch or dinner with local wine.
This is a morning or afternoon well spent — with me, Virginia, Mamma Nadia, and possibly two very curious cats.
- A real family home, not a cooking school — you'll cook in our kitchen, eat at our table, and share the afternoon with us like a guest, not a tourist
- Calestano, a medieval village in the Parma hills — not a city kitchen, but a panoramic terrace overlooking countryside that most visitors never see
- Ingredients from our own garden — seasonal, organic, and picked that morn
- Local black truffle, available as an add-on — harvested right here in these hills
- Maximum 8 guests — intimate by design, never acrow
- Private transfer from Parma available — no car needed, no stress

Cần Quan Tâm
Calestano is not on most maps. That's exactly the point. Tucked in the Parma hills, this is where my mother Nadia and I, Virginia, open our home — and our kitchen — to a small group of guests (max 8) for a hands-on pasta experience that feels nothing like a class. Oh, and our cats Cesare & Cindy will probably be there to welcome you too. Together we'll make two traditional pastas from scratch : soft ricotta ravioli and silky tagliatelle, using seasonal organic ingredients — many picked straight from our garden. Love truffles? Local black truffle, harvested right here in these hills, is available as an optional add-on. After cooking, you'll sit down on our panoramic terrace for a proper Italian meal : local antipasti, Parmigiano Reggiano, your freshly made pasta with homemade sauce, my family tiramisù, and plenty of local wine. No car needed — I can arrange a private transfer from central Parma on request. Just let me know when you book. Like hungry. Leave feeling like family.

5.00Such a wholesome and cute experience! Very nice pasta making teacher, her soul was sweet and welcoming! Her mum was extremely kind and smiley the whole time. It truly felt authentic and full of love, the eating and wine after was amazing too!
Pasta for everyone

5.00We had the most incredible experience just outside of Parma with this pasta, truffle, and wine experience—it was truly the highlight of our time in Italy. From the moment we arrived, our host welcomed us into their home. The setting in the countryside was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. We started by learning how to make fresh pasta from scratch, with hands-on guidance that made it both fun and approachable. I can see a pasta maker in our future 😬 What made this experience unforgettable was the warmth and authenticity. Sitting down together to enjoy the meal we prepared, paired with incredible local wines, felt like being part of a true Italian family. The conversation, the laughter—it was everything you hope for when traveling. If you’re near Parma and want a genuine, intimate food experience that goes beyond a typical class, this is an absolute must. I would recommend it again and again

Pasta and a lot of fun!

4.00Virgina greeted us promptly at our hotel and transported us to and from her home. It is in a quaint small village in the surrounding mountains. We enjoyed learning about the art of making pasta and definitely had a deeper appreciation for it after this class. Her mother was delightful sharing her homemade delights.
