Fun and memorable cooking class experience! - Can’t say enough good things about this whole experience! From the beauty of the location, the coastal views, the invigorating walk, and everything we made from scratch! All the ingredients were fresh and locally purchased. The chefs really make a comfortable, funny, easy to learn experience! The thoughtful surprises they gave provided us memories of a lifetime. If you’re adventurous, curious, and humorous, this is an experience for you! We will definitely be passing this along to our family and friends when they are in town and may even make this a seasonal event with our new friends!

You don’t want to miss this! - If you are going to Cinque Terre, this class is a MUST! Barbara and her husband were so hospitable! We made pasta, 2 sauces, bruschetta, and tiramisu! In addition, they treated us to cappuccinos, Aperol spritz, pesto and quiche just because! Not to mention the view while you’re there is unmatched! There was never a moment where we felt rushed or like this was a business- it felt like dinner with a longtime friend! This was the single BEST day of our 2 week Europe trip- and you’ll feel the same after you go!

Cooking with Barbara and Stefano- a must do!!! - Amazing views of Riomaggiore from Barbara and Stefano's place. A little difficult to get to, but they were very helpful in providing directions (be ready to hike a little :)). Once there, we were warmly greeted by Barbara and Stefano. Starting with getting the tiramisu recipe and instructions from Barbara as she made them, all the way to the final meal of the wonderful pasta...was a delight! They served drinks, water, and a lot of fun! It was especially funny watching the sweet banter between Barbara and Stefano as they taught :)!! Really enjoyed the hands-on pasta making and the fellowship with others. Oh- also- a nice bruschetta was served as we were participating in the prep. Must do this if you're even thinking about it!!

Don’t miss this amazing experience - Barbara and Stephan opened their home to us. They shared stories, their Italian historical knowledge, and amazing cooking skills and recipes. They are 2 loving and kind humans who share their love of cooking and Italy with visitors.
I will treasure these memories forever and will be back.

Solo cooking class with a stunning view - It was a highlight of my time in Italy. Learning the art of making pasta and the right way to make tiramisu and bruschetta. Barbara was excellent. Their cooking school in the winery by the Mediterranean Sea in a UNESCO area was awe inspiring and beautiful.

Poor communication-terrible customer service! - The company rescheduled our tour with a different chef but failed to inform us of the change until after the class had started and we showed up at the first chefs home. The company did not answer our call when the chef informed us they were unable to teach that day. This company would not refund our money. Save your time and money and book with a private chef in which ever area you are traveling. Do not use this company unless you like throwing money away. They tried to say we didn’t cancel before 24 hours-however we showed up to a class that was cancelled. Still got charged. No response by phone or email about our complaints.
I have never had such terrible customer service from a tour company. And we have used a lot.
