Great! - Had a very nice pasta lesson, definitely recommended. We learned how to make delicious pasta, ravioli and tagliatelle. Then we were allowed to the balcony with beautiful views, where we got an antipasti. Then our homemade pasta with a glass of wine and we ended with a tiramisu.

The best thing since sliced bread - We had the best best time. Virginia her mum and grandmother were incredibly accommodating. The lesson was explained well and we had a good giggle. It was heaven to reap the rewards, eating truffle pasta while looking at a beautiful view. Doesn’t get much sweeter than that.

Excellent pasta class! - Fantastic reception in a lovely little Italian village! We were warmly welcomed with water and coffee before the fork and good instructions. We learned to make pasta at home in the kitchen in a naturally professional way. Afterwards we had delicious ham, parmesan and wine on the terrace before self-made dishes with pasta. We had a great experience! Recommended!

Great teacher, fantastic atmosphere - Along with my husband and daugther we felt very welcomed. It was a nice class were Virginia made us feel like we were great in making pasta even if we never had done it before. The atmosphere were absolutely fantastic.

Fantastic experience - Loved our cooking class experience with Virginia and her sweet mother and grandmother! Set in a gorgeous village outside of Parma. The pasta making lesson was fun and informative. Our kids loved it!

Class and Lunch in a Lovely Village - Authentic and intimate, this pasta making class and lunch was a unique highlight of our trip! After visiting the main tourist cities, I suggest rounding out your vacation by booking this special class which takes place in a picturesque Italian village with mountain views. Host is wonderful and the experience is unforgettable.

Virginia is fun!! - We made ravioli and tagliatelle pasta learning tips our instructor learned as a young girl. Then we enjoyed a great meal on her balcony. We can’t wait to get home and try it ourselves. Thank you for a fun day!!

Great food and an even better experience - We had such a great time. Virginia, her mother, and grandmother we all there and taught us how to make a proper Italian pasta. It was so delicious and can’t recommend it enough.

Great experience! We Loved it! - The town was beautiful. Virginia was an awesome instructor and we had a great time in her kitchen learning to make pasta. We would definitely recommend this class to anyone who wants an authentic experience in and around Parma. Loved it!

A wonderdul moment I would redo in a heartbeat! - I really wanted to do a pasta class while bagpacking in Italy. I browsed quite a lot of them, but I wanted something more simple yet more authentic. Getting to learn the basics without feeling like I'm part of a turistic spectacle. Well, the experience prepared by Virginia and her mother is WAY beyond that. First, the road to their town was astonishingly scenic, and so was Calestano. I got to walk around a bit, and loved loved loved the medieval atmosphere. Then we get to the cooking class, we learned how to do 2 types of pastas, and also some extra shapes for the raviolis. Virginia explains everything very clearly, and makes sure we honour the Italians' traditions. I had already tried to do my own pasta with a YouTube video, and if I expected (of course) it to be very different, I didn't expect THAT MUCH. You really leave with some wonderful tricks! As for the food itself... what can I say, it's going to be the BEST meal you'll have in Italy, because it tastes like dedication, patience, and tenderness. Yes we made the pasta, but all the rest is Virginia and her mom, and I couldn't believe my luck to be tasting such wonderful homemade food with such a mind-blowing view. I'll also have to add Virginia picked me up and dropped me off in Parma as I was travelling by train, and I absolutely enjoyed talking with her during theses moments. She's a very wonderful person that has a lot to share and I'm sure she'll keep on doing amazing things. Well you've probably guessed it, this experience could mean something specific for everyone; to me it meant a lot. I'll keep these moments very close to my heart!
