One of the highlights of our trip

We had an amazing experience. The class is held in a room that directly overlooks the beautiful waterfront. We learned a bit about the history of each dish and the importance of the ingredients. The food was delicious. (In fact, when we got to the next stop on our trip, at a rental with a kitchen, we remade one of our favorite dishes from the class.) But the best part was interacting with the family running the class; they were so open, welcoming, warm! Highly recommend.

Really interesting and relaxed cooking course

We were made to feel very welcome and the whole experience was very relaxed. We got to make a good variety of food including a starter, mains and desert. It was a hands on course. The location was lovely with a beautiful balcony view over the beach and sea. I would definitely recommend this cooking course.

Intimate, craft focused cooking experience

If you want an experience where they do everything for you this is not the one to choose. This is truly an Italian family home and kitchen where you will make several courses from fresh pasta and veggies to fish and dessert. The hosts are incredibly friendly and clearly passionate about their craft and making a comfortable but authentic atmosphere. When gramma arrives to help it’s the sweetest thing. She doesn’t speak a lick of English but will encourage and help throughout the day. I definitely recommend this over a more commercial larger experience where they want to take you to a tiny market and charging more. We had a very small group of seven people, and it was perfect. The food was outstanding and we left full and satisfied. The location is quite quaint as it’s right on the waterfront overlooking the beach.
