The best cooking class we ever took - We booked this for our honeymoon and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The hosts had a beautiful house and made it feel like home for us. The recipes and ingredients we used showed the best of what Italy has to offer. I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to try their hand at making great Italian food.
