Excellent Experience! - My wife and I had an excellent time learning how to make authentic pasta and tiramisu with Eleanora in Assisi! Despite a bit of a language barrier, she was a thorough and patient teacher, and we had a lot of fun with her. It ended up just being the two of us who signed up, so it was a very intimate experience. A word of caution, however - just make sure you check in with your host about expectations and dietary preferences before you arrive. We interpreted "food allergies" too strictly and did not write that my wife is a vegetarian, and so she was unable to eat the pre-prepared ravioli stuffing. Eleanora told us that if she had known, she would have just made a cheese filling instead of meat. That was totally on us. The other mix-up was that there seemed to be a miscommunication between Viator and whatever system Eleanora was using. The description for the class I signed up for explicitly said "pasta AND tiramisu" class, but Eleanora's description only said pasta. She was confused, but she wanted us to be happy, so she scrambled and was able to cobble together a delicious tiramisu for us to take back to our hotel for later. We even got to taken some of our pasta home with us!

Pasta Making - If you really want to learn how to make pasta, Eleanora is the teacher for you! She demonstrates, then helps each student with their technique. Very informative and fun to learn a new skill. She cooks some of what you made, then you take some “home” to cook later. This is not a full meal, but at the end of class it is very satisfying to taste what you made, while enjoying a glass of wine!

A perfect adventure - We had a great time learning to make pasta the right way! We had all made pasta before, but we all learned useful tips about how to roll and cut the dough.
Eleonora was very encouraging but not afraid to correct us when we weren’t using proper technique.
We even made a new friend who had taken a sauce making class in the morning. We all ate her yummy sauce on our freshly made noodles.
And before we started the nice man from across the street took us into his shop to taste wine and area delicacies.
A perfect adventure.

Amazing teacher for pasta making - The teacher, Eleanor, was extremely kind and invested into the teaching. She was very patient and knew what mistakes people would make and easily corrected them. She was also very supportive and talkative.

Lovely experience in Assisi - My daughter & I had such a good time! Ms.Eleonora was a wonderful teacher & so patient! We started with a wine & cheese tasting across the street & the samples were amazing (all from local artisans & I shipped some home). She taught us to make three different kinds of pasta which was more than the two of us could eat but not from lack of encouragement to mangia mangia! Ms Eleonora graciously offered to wrap it up for us to take but sadly, we were leaving the next day. This class became one of our favorite experiences from our entire trip to Italy! If you have a couple of hours to spend while in Assisi, I’d highly recommend it. I can’t wait to make this pasta now that we’re home & show nonna our work! She also offers an online cooking class in the winter which I will absolutely join.
Grazie mille ci siamo divertiti! Piacere

Spent $1,100 and Still Can’t Make Pasta - We paid a substantial amount—$1,127.42 CAD—for five family members to attend this pasta-making class. I understand that booking through Tripadvisor increased the cost compared to booking directly, but even so, the value simply wasn’t there.
The Cesarine was noticeably unfriendly throughout most of the class, which made the experience uncomfortable and far from what we had hoped for. There was no opportunity to take notes during the session, and despite reaching out to the chef on three separate occasions afterward, she refused to share the basic recipe we used.
We went home—after spending all that money—and still don’t even know how to make the pasta we were taught. Her responses were dismissive and rude, and I have copies of the messages to support that. For the price we paid and the lack of hospitality both during and after the class, I would not recommend this experience.

Do not fall for this like we did- terrible experience. Not worth a fraction of the cost. - Booked through Trip Advisor. We are Canadian and not one to complain but this class was not as it was advertised. First, the class had already started at 5pm when several emails received from Trip Advisor stated 6pm start. There were no appetizers, no prosecco, no three pasta lessons, only one. We ate a very small portion of what we made with jarred sauce and off of plastic plates and forks. For 400 euro for three of us this was extremely disappointing. Feedback was provided to Trip Advisor about the very poor experience and they offered only $60 as a refund. Apparently Elenora indicated that a ravioli was also made and other appettivos were provided. This was simply not true.
I will never book with TripAdvisor for anything again based on this experience.
