True Italian Experience - Alberto was a wonderful host and shared historical, traditional knowledge with us to teach us not just how to make pesto and fresh pasta, but how to make the very best! It was delicious and he was charming and hospitable. He’s as Italian as they come! Just know that there are many stairs to climb-our app didn’t inform us of that—and leave plenty of time to find the location.

Unique experience - The experience was great, I found everything extremely interesting and I go home having learned a lot. The possibility of kneading by hand is very interesting but also the explanation of how to best use the appliances. What can I say, absolutely recommended.
