Wonderful experience learning, socializing, and preparing a dinner with a local family in Basel!…Anita and Fabio were great hosts!!.. Enjoyed the experience!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We had a Great time. Fabio and Anita were wonderful hosts!! They were so welcoming! It was a fun evening learning to make pizza, focaccia bread and tiramisu! The best part was meeting new friends, Anita and Fabio!!!
We were in Basel for only a few days of a 2 week vacation through Europe. We were looking for something different to do and take a break from a typical restaurant experience and we found it with Fabio and Anita’s focaccia and pizza making class. They welcomed us into their beautiful home with a cocktail and appetizers in their garden then on to the hands-on lesson… what an absolute blast. We learned so much about the process and the importance of quality ingredients as well as their insights of living in the beautiful city of Basel. They are beyond thoughtful. It was my birthday trip and I don’t eat tiramisu which is on the planned menu/lesson but they quickly pivoted and we made a flourless chocolate cake. We feasted on the delicious focaccia, pizza and cake along with a bottle of Chianti and lots of laughs. This night was truly a highlight of the trip and we cannot recommend it enough!!
This was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent. It was like having dinner with your best friends. Great conversation and fun cooking together.
Thank you very much for your words, for us was the same! Looking forword seeing you again!!!

It was a wonderful evening! Fabio and Anita are perfect hosts, warm and devoted ! We learned a lot not only about pizza and tiramisu, but also about lifestyle and culture. We just say, Grazie mille!
Danke viel Mal Hermann und Familie, es war für uns auch sehr schön mit euch die Zeit zu verbringen. Ihr seid eine tolle Familie!
Our Italian cooking class was fantastic! We learned how to make tiramisu, which turned out to be wonderful. It was the best tiramisu we've ever had, and we made it! Making focaccia and pizza was easier than we imagined, yet the results were fantastic. Fabio and Anita are great teachers with years of true hands-on experience, they make the whole process a lot of fun. We highly recommend this cooking class. Learn and cook for your family and friends!

The cooking class was really very impressive! The food was extremely delicious and authentic with products directly from Italy and if there were Swiss products all organic and sustainable! They were very nice and you felt very comfortable. They gave us valuable tips and recipes that I will definitely need in the future. From the welcome to the farewell I really advise the Experience a 10/10!
