A wonderful experience! - We had a great time with Eleanor, the chef/teacher. She showed us how to make three different types of pasta and a quick delicious sauce. We ate it with a glass of wine and a cheese platter from the shop over the road - also friendly and no hard sell, just enjoy our produce and buy some if you want. Just be careful to leave enough time for parking if you are driving. We found a park outside the old city and then walked for around 15 minutes - easy if you know! So glad we signed up for this - and then wandered around Assisi and saw the amazing basilica. Well worth it. Enjoy!!!

Making memories - We started the experience with a tasing of the local wine, olive oil, and cheese which was a nice added bonus. It was an amazing experience hands on experience making pasta. There was only 2 of us to make it personally rewarding.

Excellent Experience! - My wife and I had an excellent time learning how to make authentic pasta and tiramisu with Eleanora in Assisi! Despite a bit of a language barrier, she was a thorough and patient teacher, and we had a lot of fun with her. It ended up just being the two of us who signed up, so it was a very intimate experience. A word of caution, however - just make sure you check in with your host about expectations and dietary preferences before you arrive. We interpreted "food allergies" too strictly and did not write that my wife is a vegetarian, and so she was unable to eat the pre-prepared ravioli stuffing. Eleanora told us that if she had known, she would have just made a cheese filling instead of meat. That was totally on us. The other mix-up was that there seemed to be a miscommunication between Viator and whatever system Eleanora was using. The description for the class I signed up for explicitly said "pasta AND tiramisu" class, but Eleanora's description only said pasta. She was confused, but she wanted us to be happy, so she scrambled and was able to cobble together a delicious tiramisu for us to take back to our hotel for later. We even got to taken some of our pasta home with us!

Pasta Making - If you really want to learn how to make pasta, Eleanora is the teacher for you! She demonstrates, then helps each student with their technique. Very informative and fun to learn a new skill. She cooks some of what you made, then you take some “home” to cook later. This is not a full meal, but at the end of class it is very satisfying to taste what you made, while enjoying a glass of wine!

It was fine but fun - Elanora was very detailed and kept it fun and light hearted. we made two different types of pasta : ravioli and fettuccini and it was very fun learning how to make authentic pasta in Assisi. However, after making the fettuccini, we were told we could keep it out and then put it in the fridge. We couldn’t do that because we were traveling. We asked her to make it when she made the ravioli and she said it was going to be too much food. By the time we sat down to eat, we had 5 raviolis and one fettuccini and we were starving. Also, because we didn’t make everything until 9:00 p.m. we weren’t able to make the tiramisu. Very disappointing. We left feeling very hungry and very unsatisfied but we had fun.

This experience is not as... - This experience is not as advertised. We arrived on time to the location provided on the ticket and in Viator and was sent a message that the location was different. The ticket is different to the experience advertised, on Viator and different to the photos that are advertised. The ticket says spend a day on a local farm, exploring olive groves, meeting aninmals and tasting organics products. Nothing on the ticket says cooking pasta and would not have booked if it was going to be on a farm with animals. Either the company or Viator needs to correct advertised experience.

Spent $1,100 and Still Can’t Make Pasta - We paid a substantial amount—$1,127.42 CAD—for five family members to attend this pasta-making class. I understand that booking through Tripadvisor increased the cost compared to booking directly, but even so, the value simply wasn’t there.
The Cesarine was noticeably unfriendly throughout most of the class, which made the experience uncomfortable and far from what we had hoped for. There was no opportunity to take notes during the session, and despite reaching out to the chef on three separate occasions afterward, she refused to share the basic recipe we used.
We went home—after spending all that money—and still don’t even know how to make the pasta we were taught. Her responses were dismissive and rude, and I have copies of the messages to support that. For the price we paid and the lack of hospitality both during and after the class, I would not recommend this experience.
