Great pasta cooking class with Davide - A truly wonderful experience with our teacher Davide. I was a bit sceptical in the beginning thinking that pasta making isn’t that difficult, but we learnt lots of little tips ticks. It was also very entertaining with Davide making photos and videos of us when throwing pasta into the air. One of our best experiences during our trip. Highly recommended!
