• Via Giuseppe Mazzini, 54 - Escape the bustling tourist spots and explore Calestano, a serene medieval village nestled in the Parma hills, just a 40-minute drive from the city. Participate in our cozy cooking class (limited to 8 guests) held in a genuine family home with Virginia and Mamma Nadia, along with our friendly cats, Cesare & Cindy, to greet you. Together, you’ll create two traditional pastas: tender ricotta ravioli and smooth tagliatelle, all crafted from scratch using seasonal, organic ingredients. Looking to enhance the experience? Opt for the optional black truffle upgrade, sourced locally from these hills.

After cooking, unwind on our panoramic terrace and savor a complete Italian meal: local antipasti with wine, your freshly prepared pasta, and our family tiramisù. Enjoy warm conversations, stunning views, and an abundance of wine.

For your convenience, a transfer from Parma is available.

This is more than just a class; it’s a taste of authentic Italy — to cook, savor, and share together.
