Authentic rural cooking experience - An authentic, fun, and very relaxing experience! There is nothing better than making pasta and sauce by hand, surrounded by greenery among vineyards, olive groves, and farm animals. Matteo, who welcomed us, is very kind and helpful, and also well-prepared. You can see the attention to detail, and the overall experience is truly excellent. You can breathe an atmosphere that takes you back in time, and it is a special opportunity to recover "ancient" knowledge that is now almost forgotten! Moreover, everything is accompanied by Mount San Marino, which serves as a backdrop to this magnificent cooking class!! My girlfriend and I highly recommend this experience, best wishes!!

Best Cooking Class experience! - We booked the class for 2 people and it was the absolute highlight of our San Marino trip! Matteo, the host is a super nice guy who showed us around the beautiful location and explained a lot about San Marino, it’s culture and history as well as about cooking and his family traditions. We got food and drinks (even aperitif with olives, home-made salami and cheese!). We loved every minute of this wonderful experience and had the best time! We really hope to come back soon!

A 6/5 Star Review - A side of San Marino that can't be missed - This cooking class was an authentic and wholesome experience for our trip in San Marino! The food was excellent (fresh pasta, wine, and more). The atmosphere was excellent (light and fun). The setting was excellent (vineyards and more). And especially our tour guide, Matte, went over and beyond to provide us an exceptional time and valuable information about San Marino. Anyone with all types of cooking backgrounds would enjoy this! You won't regret booking this experience with Matte, you'd only regret not booking it. It was real, and we truly appreciate his kindness. Looking forward to joining him again next time :). ~ 6☆'s

beautiful experience, a surprise! - My wife and I decided to try this cooking class experience on a farm in San Marino and it was a good choice. Matteo greeted us immediately with a big smile and lots of sympathy, we felt at home immediately. The location is really beautiful, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, it gave us a lot of serenity. Delicious dishes that we have prepared together (spectacular sauce) and farm products. We bought some bottles of their Sangiovese wine that we particularly liked! Thank you for everything, we had a great time!

Beautiful memory shared with family - We attended this cooking class in San Marino during a family weekend and were really very satisfied. The location is spectacular. A farm surrounded by nature, very well cared for but at the same time simple and authentic. There is a familiar and relaxed atmosphere. Experience also suitable for children, our 8 and 10 years had a great time Our teacher Matteo was nice and welcoming right away, and treated us like we were family The dishes we prepared were really good, especially the typical peasant dessert called bustrengo, which we did not know, a beautiful discovery! Thank you so much Matteo for all your patience with us! Highly recommended to everyone, especially families!
