Honestly, I signed up just for the tiramisu but ended up loving the whole pasta-making part. The group was a mix of couples and solo folks, and everyone got along. Our host, Thomasito, kept us laughing the whole time. I’m not much of a cook but somehow my ravioli didn’t fall apart! Pro tip: wear something you don’t mind getting messy. HIGHLY recommend.

Took my girlfriend for a surprise date and it was a hit! The chef (think her name was Carlotta?) was SO enthusiastic and patient. We got flour everywhere lol. Only downside was it felt a bit rushed when we were filling ravioli, but the end result tasted legit homemade. Would totally do it again, next time maybe bring my parents along.

Took my mum for her birthday, and she LOVED it. We made ravioli with spinach filling and even got to roll out the dough (which is harder than it looks, trust me!). Our group was a mix of locals and travelers, and everyone shared stories. The chef was super encouraging. Bonus points for the delicious bruschetta starter.

Dive into a lively cooking class where an English-speaking chef will guide you through pasta-making and Italian cocktail mixology.

Shake things up with a hands-on Spritz demo, learning to make classics like the refreshing Aperol and Hugo Spritz.

Knead, roll, and cut fresh pasta from scratch, including fettuccine and maltagliati, before pairing them with sauces like creamy carbonara, cheesy cacio e pepe, sugo al pomodoro, and basil pesto.

Sip on your spritz as you cook as you enjoy your handmade meal. Complimentary soft drinks included.

Was expecting more hands-on stuff but still a solid experience. Pasta turned out pretty good and the chef explained all the steps, even for the clumsy ones like me. Only thing – the class was suuuper crowded, so didn't get as much attention as I'd hoped.

Me and my bestie did this class while on our Europe trip. Never thought I’d make pasta from scratch but here we are! Carlotta was such a cooool teacher. The atmosphere was chill, with Italian music and even a glass of wine while we kneaded the dough. 10/10 for the vibes and the tiramisu recipe is coming home with me.

Booked last minute, didn't regret. Learned to make pasta and spritz (the drink part was a surprise, lol). Chef Lori was friendly and cracked jokes the whole time. Only complaint – too many people so sometimes hard to hear instructions. Still, food was YUMMY.
