This was, without a doubt, the highlight of our entire trip to Italy! From the moment we arrived, Stefania and her family made us feel incredibly welcome. She even arranged transportation from the cruise port to her home, which was a thoughtful touch and made the experience completely stress-free.We learned how to make the most delicious tiramisu I have ever tasted, as well as incredible homemade pasta that Stefania later prepared and served beautifully. Every aspect of the experience was carefully planned, and it was clear how much passion, pride, and attention to detail she puts into sharing her craft.Not only was this a wonderful cooking class, but it was also a genuine and memorable cultural experience. My husband and I are so grateful we had the opportunity to do this.Thank you, Stefania, for opening your home, sharing your recipes, and creating such a special experience for us. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough!

Absolutely FANTASTIC in EVERY way; SO much fun!!!
We knew we wanted to do something a little different from the other bookings we scheduled through Viator. We weren’t exactly sure what to expect to be honest. We were a little anxious with a sprinkle of eager anticipation but mostly anxious lol.
Stefania and her husband opened their lovely home for a hands-on cooking experience followed by us having a lunch made from our collective culinary activities!! We had the best of times!
Stefania was a joy to be with!! She is a teacher by profession so obviously, it comes to her naturally as a hands-on cooking instructor!!
We made two pasta dishes from scratch! She had the nicest cooking stations laid out for us with everything we needed. We mixed, kneaded, rolled, used the pasta maker, then, cut and prepared…ALL the things!! It was such a fun experience!!
We ended up making delicious cheese ravioli, and a ribbon-cut pasta (I’m behind in writing this and I can’t remember the name but I think it may have been tagliatelle w/a wonderful meat sauce). For dessert, with Stefanie’s expert help…made the BEST tiramisu we have ever eaten in our lives…oh my goodness, it was SO good!
Stefania, her husband, and son graciously opened their home, shared their skill and passion for excellent homemade food and left us with an experience that we will remember for a lifetime!!
To date, this has been our MOST favorite Viator experience. When we do go back, we had such a lovely time, it would be great to visit these wonderful people again!!

Straight out of a movie! The best experience!
Words hardly do justice to our morning with Raffaella and her family. What was meant to be a simple cooking lesson turned into one of the most memorable highlights of our travels. Raffaella, alongside her husband, sister, and adult children, opened their home and hearts to us. Their patience as they taught us the art of hand-crafted pasta was matched only by their extraordinary hospitality. Dining on our handmade creations set against a breathtaking Mediterranean backdrop felt like a five-star luxury, made intimate by thoughtful touches like garden-fresh herbs and adorable aprons. It was truly an honor to be welcomed into their home, and we will cherish this memory forever.

Pasta and tiramisu making
It was fabulous to be invited into Stephania, Franco and Georgia’s house. We had an amazing time making ravioli, fettuccine and tiramisu. The food we made tasted amazing and it was so lovely seeing how Italians live.
The three hosts were very kind and welcoming and we left feeling like we had a one of a kind experience.
We would all highly recommend this experience!

From beginning to end...
From beginning to end Joseph and Rosella were the ultimate and endearing hosts at their home to share how to prepare a delicious Italian meal. Together we made the world’s best tiramisu and tucked it away in the fridge while we learned how to make homemade pasta, constructing spinach filled ravioli and then fettuccini. Prosecco and snacks were offered. Joseph interpreted Ravella’s Italian directions and information she shared with us throughout the enjoyable experience on their back patio, so lovely. Afterwards we watched as the table was set for our family to sit and enjoy the two pasta dishes we had prepared along with wine to accompany our meal. Thank you Joseph and Rosella for allowing us into your home to experience Italian culture and cooking. It was a beautiful few hours we spent with you both and a wonderful memory we took back home with us. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful and inviting - very down to earth
Consuela was a gracious and wonderful host, from finding us when lost, to dropping us of for some more sightseeing before returning to our ship. This experience making pasta and tiramisu is fantastic and should be shared if you are able to do it. You will not be disappointed

Fantastic cooking class!!!
The hostess was Stefania and she was fantastic. We did have an issue finding her house. Outta I driver was rude! My husband messaged her and she had her husband pick up where the taxi dropped us off. She was an amazing chef, we made pasta and ravioli as well as tiramisu. She served us wine and appetizers! Her husband and son were fantastic as well! It’s only 1.2 miles away from the cruise port. I would definitely recommend this tour.Stefania! It was a hands on experience and very fun!

Personal Authentic Cooking Experience!
This was a great experience! Intimate, authentic and in a family home. Learned to make 2 pastas and tiramisu that tasted better than any I've ever had.
Received appetizers and small tastings with wine, as well as a little to go gift at the end. A must do experience!
