Being invited into someone’s home and learning how to prepare the foods that are so dear to them is really a special experience. I highly recommend Rosa Maria. She was so warm and kind. Definitely would have this experience again!
If you are looking for a fun and intimate cooking experience with a local, and a delicious meal to enjoy at the end, then look no further! Our chef Rocco was not only talented in the culinary arts, but also extremely welcoming, polite, professional and was genuinely interested in giving us a positive experience. The four-course meal was expertly tailored to our culinary preferences and was outstanding from start to finish. Not only did we use fresh ingredients curated from the local market, but we also cooked with olive oil from his family’s private olive grove. The tiramisu rested in the refrigerator while we prepared the other courses and was a delight to enjoy at the end of our meal. We are leaving with great memories and a few new recipes to try at home! This was one of the best activities we did in Milan!
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Giacomo was a super friendly and engaging host. And of course the food was amazing!! It was fun to be able to ask questions and interact over the course of a few hours, and he was even able to adjust the menu to accommodate some food sensitivities. A truly delightful and memorable experience, and one I would absolutely do again!
There aren't descriptive enough adjectives to describe this experience. First we went to the market-the multitudes of fruits, vegetables, fresh fish and seafood were on display. She knew every single one, how it tasted, how to cook them and would get tastes of anything we wanted. She was a wealth of knowledge. She then went on to take us to her home and prepare us an Italian meal. No, not just any meal-it was a gastric extravaganza -6-8 courses homemade delicacies fit for a king-better than any restaurant Ive been in. Oh, did I mention DESSERT? Wine? All the while, demonstrating how to make homemade pasta. She made it all look effortless, while being entertaining and informative. Do yourself a favor and dont miss this opportunity. It was the best of any of the tours I was on.
Sissi was an amazing host! The food was superb and the company was great! We would love to do it again.
<p>Our Cesarina, Anna, was amazing and truly welcomed us into her home. Our meal was delicious, and it was so nice to get a locals experience on day to day life.</p>
