Additional Information

With Arimani’s culinary and vinous experiences, I aim to unveil the secrets to long life in Sardinia by guiding you through three primary facets of Sardinian culture: lifestyle, wine, and food.

I will show you how to prepare the traditional pasta from my territory, as we share stories, feelings, impressions, and history. From doughs made with organic flours and semolina to the most diverse and age-old types of pasta, bread, and desserts, we’ll work with traditional tools. You will have a taste of the diet of the centenarians and savor the wine symbolizing everlasting youth.

Arimani’s experiences offer a journey back in time, a plunge into history in one of the world’s oldest lands. Sardinia isn’t just about the sea, spit-roasted suckling pig, and carasau bread. You’ll have a chance to explore some of the world’s most unique and scarce commodities. I eagerly await your visit to my world to experience life as Arimani, today, as in the past.

Great event. We had a lot of fun. - A great experience. We were with 6 friends at Simonetta's, who looked after us very personally. Our pasta also tasted great, as did the wine from Simonetta's wine cellar. A very successful day, in a nice atmosphere and great surroundings. We had a lot of fun! Highly recommended :-)

A great experience and highly recommended. - We booked the pasta course spontaneously and are still thrilled. It was a great experience. Simonetta welcomed us into a small Italian house. After a coffee with an Italian snack, which we ate outside on the terrace, Simonetta introduced us to the world of pasta. We were a mixed group of 7 people and made different pasta creations together. Afterwards we looked at the wine cellar and of course ate the pasta we had made together. The pasta course is highly recommended. Simonetta is a really great host😍

Incredible, wonderful, therapeutic - Amazing. The amount of passion that Simonetta had for her food was incredible. Making the pasta was therapeutic and so interesting to see how simple and effective it was. Our days of always buying dried pasta are over. The lunch and the wine were amazing aswell. The location was amazing too, don't worry if you feel like you're lost as you drive out there you're more than likely just about to arrive. A truly wonderful experience and a lovely one to do on our honeymoon.

Must-do in Sardinia! - This was an amazing experience. Simonetta was so welcoming and excited about sharing the Sardinian secrets to long life - including pasta making! My family and I will definitely remember the pasta skills we learned, but also the mindset shared with us. This is an extremely authentic and amazing experience - nothing else like it!

Great evening - It was wonderful evening with Simonetta. The location is amazing, full with charm and invites you to explore and learn the local culture. Simonetta is a true guard of the old cooking and specially the art of preparing pasta in many traditional ways. The way that she conveys the history of the island and its many regions with their typical pasta preparing methods and different forms is outstanding. Her warm, open and friendly attitude gave us the feeling that we knew each other for a long time. We already followed her instructions at home and it came out amazing. We can warm recommend this experience.
