Our experience was amazing…Benedetta was so welcoming and patient with us. Her smile was contagious and her home was warm and cozy. It was a true Italian experience! The food was traditional, delicious and delightful. We learned so much from her and her mother. Many thanks to her friend for assisting with interpretation. We are looking forward to sharing the cooking techniques and recipes with our family in the states. Grazie Benedetta!

The experience was excellent. A real cooking class with an Italian family. Nothing like a normal class in a place, but rather cooking in the host house. The hosts were incredible nice and despite the fact this is not their regular work, they seemed well prepared and gave us a wonderful time together.

Rosanna and Rafaelle were warm and hospitable hosts. They made us feel welcome instantly. Rosanna is an amazing cook. The food was delicious and well worth it. We had a wonderful evening and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Torino.

it was typical Italian food. We were allowed to cook some of it ourselves, which was a lot of fun. The hosts were perfectly organized and very welcoming. It was a wonderful evening for us and we had a lot of fun. Gabi

Wonderful hosts who provide an excellent overall experience. Lots of fun shopping and cooking and of course the food was superb!
