パルマ近郊の中世の村で味わうパスタ、トリュフ、ワイン

This was an in home experience in a kitchen of a local mother and daughter. You began by making the homemade dough and then using the machine to make ravioli and tagliatelle. Virginia did a great job explaining everything along the way and then we were then able to enjoy what we prepared on the beautiful patio overlooking the village where the mother and daughter reside. They served the tagliatelle with sauce using tomatoes that they grew in their garden. They provided us with espresso upon our arrival and tirimisu to finish out the experience. While Virginia was preparing what we made she provided us with local meats/cheeses/bread. This was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone who is going to be in the area!

Figure out how you can do fit this experience into your travels. Making pasta with Virginia was amazing. She has a sweet sense of humor, patients galore, and really taught us how to make pasta. Her home is lovely with a beautiful porch where we were able to sit and enjoy the views (which were very Italian/European), while eating the fruit of our labor… and some sparkling wine. I can’t begin to say how much I would recommend this and do it again.

We had a hands on pasta making class where we made some ravioli and another type of pasta followed by a nice dinner in a private residence. The only issue we had was that it seemed that another group of people joined the class at the last moment when another tour they had booked got rained out. This made the class large (12 people in a not very large house) and a lot less personal. We also felt the price of the class was high compared to what we made and what was served. The daughter and mother combination that welcomed us into their kitchen were lovely and the medieval town was beautiful.

Virginia was a fantastic teacher And very patient. Virginia’s mom Nadia is just adorable. My husband and I had an awesome time. And the hospitality was outstanding. Virginia’s home is just lovely. I can’t wait to go home and make homemade pasta and ravioli. I highly recommend taking her cooking class you’ll walk away with wonderful experience and memories.

BEWARE! My Fiancee and I were planning to attend this class but about 20 hours before the class (the class has a 24hr cancelation policy) the host notified us that she would not be able to do the class. She told us that she would refund us for the class but a month later she has not refunded us and is now claiming she did not cancel and that we attended the class! Thankfully we paid on credit card and we saved her messages canceling the class. She is trying to scam people!

Parma is an amazing food city, and Virginia is an amazing teacher. In a clear, supportive and fun fashion, she taught us the tricks for making great pasta and ravioli — which we then enjoyed for lunch. Wonderful experience.

Everything excellent, I highly recommend it

I highly recommend traveling out in the country to experience this cooking class. Beautiful ride through the countryside. Virginia and Nadia are wonderful hosts. Virginia speaks English and was very gracious! We made ravioli and tagliatelle. They treated us to a wonderful appetizer of fresh prosciutto and Parmesan cheese with homemade bread. Sangiovese was superb! Then we ate our ravioli and tagliatelle and finished with a wonderful tiramisu ice cream dessert. I highly recommend!

My partner and I were immersed in the world of cooking with enthusiasm. The friendliness and professionalism made the difference. Thank you, thank you for everything you left us! Compliments I highly recommend it!

Exquisite experience, I went with my boyfriend but I would like to return with my friends. We had a lot of fun and finally learned how to make tortelli the way our grandmothers used to make them. Virginia is nice and super knowledgeable. I hope to return soon for other courses like the one on Japanese ravioli.
