An authentic taste of the real Italy - Very authentic and extremely informative. We learnt how to make ravioli in Daniela’s home and loved every second of it. The couple was welcoming and Daniela is an excellent cook - knows anything under the sun about fusion of ingredients. Would recommend it to anyone wanting to have a taste of the real Italy :)
