Amazing food and culture trip - We had a wonderful trip with Davide. The trip was more than just 'cooking experience'; it was a combination of cooking, food tasting, culture exploration and sight seeing. Davide has extensive knowledge of biology, geology and history of Sardinia, so you can also expect to learn a lot about this region. In the peaceful and beautiful village of Montresta, located about 50-min drive from Alghero, we got to experience the primitive and sustainable Sardina way of life. We made different types of pasta from scratch and tasted different types of dishes, cheeses, breads, wines, and desserts from the family, including the fresh pasta we made. The two ladies who hosted the cooking were very friendly and full of love, making us feel like part of the family. Highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in food and culture exploration while traveling!

Amazing authentic sardina - Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to get off the sunbeds and away from the bar. It’s time to call Davide and have the most amazing time in authentic Sardinia. Myself, my wife and 2 girls (12&13) did and we had a ball. Davide took us to leinora’s house for a day of cooking and tasting local wine in the mountains of Sardinia . Everyone had an amazing time. It’s simply a MUST DO. You won’t regreat it. Davide is super cool fella. There is no rush, he just hangs out with you for the day translating the words of leinora and her friend Kia. Who teach you to do some amazing things in the kitchen. When I come back!! Davide is my 1st port of call.

Warm and Welcoming in Montresta - Wonderful Montresta experience with Leonarda and her family making pasta and enjoying lunch. Davide explained what we were going to do clearly with insight and fun. His passion and enthusiasm for Sardinia is catching., His command of English quite excellent and we were able to joke all the time. He related very well with our group. Leonarda and her family welcomed us with open arms. We felt we never wanted to leave. Not only were we involved actively in the whole pasta making experience we were engaged in a range of interesting discussions with different members of her family over a most delicious lunch. Lorenzo made us feel very welcome too. We were sad to leave.

Explore Sardinia with the best guide! - Davide is a brilliant guide that I highly highly recommend! He puts so much care and thought into his tours and his passion for his beautiful country shines through. Whether it’s beach focussed or food and mountains, I’d jump on the opportunity to join any of his adventures.

5 Stars! Fantastic guide and unique experiences - We did 2 tours with Davide - one was the pasta making with a visit to Nuragic sites, and the other cheese making by shepards with scenic views. Both were brilliant. The pasta making and lunch were great fun (and delicious) and hosted in a beautiful family home in a small village. The lady who conducted it was also featured on 'Searching for Italy with Stanley Tucci'. The experience of watching the shepards produce sheep's cheese by hand following traditional methods was particularly interesting. Davide was very informative, and seemed to be as excited about the experiences as we were. He was early picking us up both times and made sure we had a good time. He has an amazing passion for Sardinia and its culture and it shows. Definitely see look him up for his tours. You can customise things as well. We were supposed to visit a village as part of the 2nd day but cos it was so hot, and uncomfortable for us, we went with his suggestion to visit some viewpoints instead, which involved quite a bit of driving. And we still ended the day on time.
