Magical - Simonetta and her team are wonderful. They are warm hosts. We made the pasta while Simonetta shared her history and Sardinia blue zone wisdom. The pasta making was fun and informative, and shared with the group, creating community. Then dinner is served at her magical property. This is an experience we will all treasure and bring back pasta making to our family. I highly recommend this experience.

The full experience - culture and pasta! - Breathtaking property. Simonetta put so much love into this place and into sharing all the great history behind the many different pastas we made. She clearly loves what she does and we felt that through the amazing lunch and conversation. A must do!! I went solo and felt right at home.

Get transported back in time and enjoy traditional Sardinian hospitality. - Breathtaking setting. Charming old family home that clearly has had a lot of love put into it by Simonetta. It was like walking into a different world. And then we made pasta! Several types, including the origin stories of each. Simonetta clearly loves what she does and that came through in the wonderful lunch and great conversation. A must do if you are anywhere even close to Battista!

A must book event! - It was a great hands on learning experience. We really felt like we left with a piece of Sardinia culture to bring home with U.S. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting.

Unforgettable Experience - This experience was beyond incredible. The setting is in a charming Sardinian farmhouse which is styled so beautifully like a dream. We made semolina pasta dough and then learned how to make four different pastas which were cooked and prepared in different sauces with homegrown organic vegetables and served with local wine. The lunch was absolutely delicious. Each dish was phenomenal. The host was generous and gave a genuine sense of care for her guests. We look forward to making pasta with our families at home.
