Excellent - The private home for pasta making was an incredible one-on-one experience. Pasta making, the fresh Italian way, was simply the best. Our hosts were pleasant, had a sense of human, most gracious, and we enjoyed their company. The meal of fresh cooked pasta, we made during class, was excellent.

Authentic at home Italian cooking experience - Really authentic and fun experience cooking many different types of pasta! We were in a small group so it was very personal and easy to follow. Not only that we got to cook the pasta we ate in AMAZING different pasta sauces! I couldn’t recommend this more, it was so worth it. Definitely book!

Lovely pasta making and luncheon experience - Wonderful time with an Italian couple in their home. Learned to make a number of different types of pasta both by hand and by using a machine. Afterward we enjoyed a lovely lunch eating the pastas we prepared with sauces prepared by the couple. The dishes were paired with both a red and white wine. They were very accommodating with food allergies. They took photos throughout and provided them to us. We would highly recommend this experience.

Wonderful! - This was so much fun! Held in a private home, it felt intimate without feeling awkward. We were with several other people but got wonderful service. The dessert at the end was magnificent, and their little dog who comes to greet you (and stays out of the way while the cooking is happening) is adorable. We ordered a pasta maker immediately upon leaving to practice our new skills at home.

Amazing cooking experience with lovely hosts - Amazing experience, the class was very informative and we as a couple learnt a lot. My only request and suggestion would be to include how the pasta sauce was made in addition to making the pasta itself as what was made for us was delicious!
Overall 10/10 evening with a great group of people, would strongly recommend

Very disappointing - Would not recommend. Very basic and inefficient. Expensive. Didn't get anything to eat or drink until after 8pm. We had to get glass from kitchen and get water from tap (description was wrong with snacks, bottled water and wine-nothing until dinner which felt thrown together) I was very annoyed that I spent this $. Left as soon as we felt we could and went out to eat because we didnt want to eat here. I feel bad because family was nice but honestly I cannot believe Viator has this on their site.

There were too many... - There were too many people, beyond their capacity, there was not enough space, they ran out of products in the middle. Without explanations, we didn't have an experience, everything was technical, we didn't enjoy ourselves. Expensive and unnecessary.
