Barbara was a fantastic host! We loved learning how to make pasta and enjoyed visiting her beautiful home. She was very welcoming and we would highly recommend this tour.

We had such an amazing experience at Lucrezia and Alberto‘s home! They are very knowledgable and could answer all our questions about Italy, Tuscany, wines and more after already having spent a week in Tuscany. I therefore recommend to do this towards the end of your trip. Lucrezia was such a good instructor, gave helpful tips and was overall motivating. My boyfriend and I felt welcome and comfortable straight away and had such a fun evening. This was definitely one of our highlights during our holidays. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time learning from and cooking with Lucrezia and Alberto! They are great teachers and the meal we made together was delicious. They are both highly trained chefs who graduated from a prestigious culinary school in Parma, and have worked in Michelin starred restaurants, so you can trust their expertise. More importantly they are lovely, genuine people who made us feel welcome in their home. Oh and their dog Jimmy was so much fun! We loved the experience so much we bought a pasta roller and plan to start making ravioli (and hand rolled pici) on our own at home.

Lucrezia and Alberto were fantastic! I booked a class as a birthday present for my partner and it far exceeded our expectations. They were such warm, welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Food was fantastic, wine was incredible, and we walked away with two new friends and a newly acquired love for blue cheese. Cannot recommend enough!

We loved meeting Barbara and learning to cook traditional and local Italian dishes in her beautiful home. Barbara is a wonderful teacher and made us feel so comfortable with her warmth and hospitality. The pastas turned out absolutely delicious - we were so proud of ourselves! The tiramisu was also the best we have had on our Italian trip so far (a big call but one we’re sticking by!) Definitely recommend adding this to your itinerary if you’re in Tuscany :)

This was a great event. Our host Barbara was wonderful and inviting. She was very accommodating and generous, working to include everyone in the experience. The food was delicious. Now confident with the process, the dishes will be repeated often at home.
