Pasta Making Perfection! - This class is wonderful and Virginia is an excellent instructor! I have made traditional egg & flour pasta for a number of years, but her approach was a revelation! We were lucky to have done the class at her home in a beautiful Medieval village in the heart of the prosciuto production zone of Parma. After learning the simplicity of making the pasta we then made a variety of ravioli - the general term for filled pasta - in many shapes such as tortelloni, mezaluna and sun shapes. We also learned how to use a pasta press corectly and with half of the dough we also made the simple long pasta that is generally called tagliolini or ribbon pasta. Virgina along with her mother then prepared a delicious lunch with the ravioli and pasta that we prepared. Highly recommend this for its authenticity and her wonderful teaching style! If you can attend at her home, definitely choose that option as the atmosphere is just very special!

Perfect Pasta Class for Foodie Families - Thanks so much, Virginia, for welcoming us in your mountain home for a cozy and relaxed pasta experience for my husband and our two daughters ages 9 and 12. There were also two other lovely Canadians in the class. We made two types of pasta, a ravioli stuffed with spinach (or herbs?) and ricotta and then a flat pasta. Everyone got a chance at kneading the dough, using the pasta machine, and cutting the ravioli. The kids were super into it and Virginia was calm and patient. She included everyone in the process. Then we sat down to a nicely set table (by Virginia’s mom) and we tasted an amazing vegetable/onion tart made by her, some local cheese, our delicious pasta and a tiramisu Virginia prepared just for us! We also had some sparkling wine! If you have the opportunity to do the class in Calestano-do it for the beautiful countryside and a sneak peek at a very picturesque village. This was a perfect family experience! One tip: Her place is small so just make sure your kids are actually interested in making the pasta and keen on the whole process from start to finish as there is not much room to run around.

Making fresh pasta in Parma - Had a very good time learning how to make fresh pasta! Activity has been relocated at Calestano in the countryside of Parma : I got to enjoy the scenery getting there. Activity is organized in small group which as appreciated. We got to make tagliatelle and ravioli. Afterwards lunch was served with antipasto and tiramisu in addition to the freshly made pasta. Weather was a bit cold to enjoy at most the terrace but site was lovely. Would definitely recommend the activity!

Fantastic cooking class - Beautiful experience in a picturesque location in the Parma hills. Pasta is prepared thanks to the help of an excellent teacher, with subsequent aperitif and typical Emilian lunch.

Wonderful experience - We felt super pampered, from start to finish. The experience is absolutely worth doing, both for the lesson itself and for the meal that was offered to us after, starting from appetizer to dessert. We came from Rome and it is beautiful to discover and understand the various techniques of the place. They were very sweet and very nice. Highly recommended.

authentic experience - I am Italian, but my boyfriend is Australian and wanted to take a cooking course. Our Airbnb host recommended us this one. I was worried it would have been the ultimate tourist trap - I was wrong. Although the service catered for people from around the world, the experience was still 100% authentic. Virginia and her mum were professional, prepared, attentive, and friendly; the location was lovely—a sixth star for Cesare and Carmela, the cats.

Class canceled and refund not issued - We signed up for a cooking class at $199 and it was canceled due to not enough people signing up. The class operator said the refund was issued but it never showed up on my credit card. I communicated with both Viator customer service and the class operator and was told by the operator it was refunded while Viator told me the operator refused to refund my money. I finally disputed this to my credit card company and it was my credit card company that refunded my money for me. I will never use Viator again based on them refusing to refund my money when they are the ones that canceled the class.
