Definitely recommended! - Top cooking course and experience! Together with Enza and her family we had a very pleasant and educational evening. You immediately feel welcome; as if you were having dinner at a friend's house. Only you won't just eat here, you will also make the food (the pasta) yourself! Enza teaches you to make the pasta yourself and a little later you can enjoy a delicious meal! Everything has been thought of!

Fantastic evening making pasta - We had a fantastic evening. Enza,Antonio and their daughters were great hosts. We have 3 young children who all loved the pasta making and eating. They are a very cool family and welcomed us into it from the beginning. The food was delicious and we were even treated to a couple of tunes on the piano, guitar and saxophone, as well as the kids having a pre-dinner play in the pool. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough and would definitely love to do it again. I don’t normally write reviews but this was special.

Amazing unforgettable experience!! - We spent a fantastic evening with Enza, Antonio and their two daughters. They were very gracious hosts who shared their home while teaching us the intricacies of pasta making and local cuisine. We all ate together the fruits of our labour (and more!) while sharing stories, practicing our Italian, laughing and learning about local culture and customs. We highly recommend this wonderful experience!

Absolutely recommended. - We went to Enza's house for a cooking class, and it was a fantastic experience. Enza's family is the typical Italian family, very welcoming and helpful. We attended the course together with Enza's daughters and her husband. The whole evening was full of fun, filled with stories, tradition, and music. A truly exquisite experience. Absolutely recommended.

Joyful experience - Wonderful!! Enza and Antonio greeted us so warmly in their lovely house. It has been a wonderful experience to learn how to make orecchiette with them. They showed great enthusiasm and joy to make us share some of their culinary traditions. Thanks a lot Enza and Antonio for your kindness, authenticity and real family atmosphere we lived with you, your daughters and nieces.
