• Via Giuseppe Mazzini, 54 - Escape the tourist crowds and explore Calestano, a serene medieval village nestled in the Parma hills, just 40 minutes from the city. Participate in our cozy and intimate cooking class (maximum 8 guests) in a genuine family home, hosted by Virginia and Mamma Nadia—with our delightful cats Cesare & Cindy welcoming you with a purr.

The class begins with the preparation of two traditional pastas: soft ravioli and smooth tagliatelle, all crafted from scratch using organic, seasonal ingredients—just as Italian grandmothers have done for generations. Looking to enhance the experience? Opt for the optional black truffle upgrade, sourced locally from these very hills.

After cooking, enjoy a leisurely Italian meal on our panoramic terrace. Start with local antipasti and wine, then relish your freshly made pasta, followed by our signature tiramisu. All this is accompanied by stunning views, engaging conversation, and plenty of wine.

Whether you’re a passionate foodie, a curious traveler, or a couple seeking something truly special—this is more than a cooking class. It’s a taste of authentic Italy.
