Nothing is more real... - One of the best things we did all of our two weeks in Italy. A MUST DO! You'll make pasta in a "Nonna's" home. Truly amazing.

Strongly recommend - highlight of our stay - My fiancé and I wanted to try and authentic cooking experience while in Italy and Irini does not disappoint! Extremely warm, welcoming and funny in very fluent English and practiced at steering groups through making tortellini, fusilli and tagliatelle. Once everything is made, we were given a 3 course dinner of the pasta we made with a homemade ragu (including more wine than we expected!) Property not hard to find at all - get off the bus at Lincoln station and head to the back right corner of the abramo Lincoln block. Strongly recommend for anyone into their cooking, or just looking for a different way to spend an evening in Bologna.

The best pasta I've ever eaten!!!! - It was fantastic! Our host was the absolute best! The pasta was out of this world! We made it and then she prepared it three different ways, and paired it with different balsamic vinegars. THE BEST!

Irene’s class was super... - Irene’s class was super fun! She was patient, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Great opportunity to experience a local’s home. We appreciated Irene and her family letting us use their space. Our class had a total of ten students. Naturally with European apartments, the space can be a bit tight so you might have to shuffle with your neighbors a bit.

Wonderful experience - We all loved this especially our 10 year old. Great teacher, very authentic family atmosphere and delicious food. I now know where I have been wrong with my fresh pasta and feel very much more confident to make again at home. Thanks you for a very memorable, special evening.

Cooking in Italy - April 2025 - My friend and I had a great time! Irene and her family made us feel like we could cook like Italian Nonnas. Can't wait to try it at home! If you get a chance, take this class! You won't regret it. The restaurant was amazing as well. Thanks to them for hosting at the last minute.

Apt - Our instructor was great but the ‘authentic Bologna’ experience involved someone’s flat that smelled of cat pees which was not great.

It was an incredible... - It was an incredible cheekiness, the hostess did not let us participate. We came to her with very good bikes, for which we could not find a safe parking space with her.(She was in no way helpful for this). After we went back to the hotel by bike and back to her by car (they had informed us about this beforehand of course) she wouldn't let us take part as we were too late. We haven't received payment back from Viator yet
