Great night! - Barbara and Stefano are awesome! This was a great experience and we got to learn a lot about Italian culture and cuisine while still relaxing and enjoying the breathtaking scenery of Riomaggiore and the host's home. They made us feel very comfortable and we enjoyed more food than we could have ever asked for (in the best way!). Highly recommend taking a cooking class while in Cinque Terre to really get an authentic experience, and specifically with Barbara and Stefano is the way to go!

Do not miss this experience! - Barbara and Stefano were the highlight of our stay in Riomaggiore! Wow! We learned how to make homemade pasta and tiramisu while eating delicious food, chatting and drinking delicious local wine. The class was informative as well as entertaining and we felt like personal guests of our hosts. Thank you both!!!

BEST meal we had our entire trip - book it! - I don't know what we loved the most -- the fresh bruschetta, the pasta & sauce or the tiramisu. At the end of our 10 day trip around Italy where we enjoyed some great meals - both of us said that this meal was the best of the whole trip! Best app, best pasta & best tiramisu! And Barbara and her husband were wonderful hosts!

Once In a Lifetime Experience! - The walk up the hill to get to Barbara’s place! The amazing views along the way. And of course the incredible experience that Barbara and Stefano provided as we made (2) pastas and a sauce along with Tiramisu. What an incredible experience! Drank some wine, had bruschetta which was amazing, drank a spritz and met another wonderful couple that we shared this experience with. I cannot say enough about the experience that Barbara and Stefano gave us - memories that will last a lifetime!

The experience rocked! - Barbara and Stefano were fantastic hosts! They were so much fun and it was great to learn about the family recipes. We did the gnocchi making and they were very patient, as I was really bad at it (LOL). The pesto recipe she provided was fantastic, as I normally don't like pesto...I LOVED this one with all of the fresh ingredients that were provided. Barbara was so flexible with helping us move our reservation to a diferent day due a to a mishap we had with our rental car the day before. I was so appreciative. Getting to Barbara's place was quite the adventure--Luckily she provides a cab recommendation, so if you are going to her place--use the cab service! Otherwise, you will be walking up about 1500 small narrow, never ending stairs. USE THE CAB SERVICE from Riomaggiore.

Our favorite experience - Barbara and Stefano were amazing hosts. Their home is beautiful, though quite a hike to get to it. I definitely recommend using the taxi service. The class was great and we can’t wait to get home to see if we can recreate it!

Worth the walk - Very fun couple to teach italian cooking.. the best bruschetta and pasta in our 3 weeks in italy.. we left with recipes and better understanding of why they work. We made fresh pasta but didn't actually cook it. We ate two pasta dishes, bruschetta, frittata, and wine. The bruschetta topping is the base for a sauce so easy to do at home. Very good time in a beautiful setting with great people.
