I absolutely amazed by the professionalism and execution of the workshop by Daniela Cesarine Team, and didn’t regret of arranging such a great Birthday gift for my teenage son. We both happy to learn 3 Italian dishes ( tagliatelle al sugo, tagliolini al pesto and pansoti con salsa di noci) and definitely will be spoiling our family members by making homemade Italian pasta! I wish to have more workshops with Daniela and Cesarine Team and definitely recommend you to have one or more workshops! 100% satisfaction of value of knowledges we’ve got after the workshop and money we’ve spent! Best Regards, Akzhan and Ismail from Zurich

Our cooking class with Tomaso went very well. His apartment was 10 minutes walk from our hotel. We wanted to learn how to make pasta. We were served: gnocchi, maltagliati and stuffed mezzaluna hold no secrets for us. I was with my 2 teenagers (14 and 17). They participated well and were happy with the experience. Tomaso is a rather discreet but very well organized host. He had concocted some good sauces for us to enhance the pasta and we had lunch at his place. We warmly recommend this activity.

What a delightful experience! Before this class we were just mild fans of pesto, but now we can’t wait to make this for friends and family! Now we know what quality pesto is supposed to taste like, not the jarred things at grocery stores or the mess that we’d whip together in our blender. Our host was so sweet and the pesto bites and wine tastings were so delectable. A highlight of our trip to that area, even better than our time in Cinque Terre!

Fun and educational course. Nice introduction to good flavors.

Great course and very tasty! The 1 hour is worth it!
