Great fun and gave us confidence to try cooking the recipes when we get home.
Great fun morning cooking and learning how to make pasta. Lots of tips to follow and remember when we get home. Tiramisu was delicious as well and the bruschetta

Fantastic Experience with Great Host
My friends and I had a great time at Annamaria's class. The class itself was wonderful, we made fresh pasta, the best bruschetta I've ever had and a tiramsu. Annamaria was a great host, she was warm and friendly (and generous with the wine). She taught well and was a delight throughout. I would highly recommend this class

A favorite experience of our trip!
Annamaria was the perfect host and teacher. She accommodated our dietary constraints and gave us one of the best meals we’ve had since arriving a week ago. The only thing better than the food and her teaching was her personality. Like so many who have left notes on the world map in her beautiful home, we invited her to come visit us in the U.S. Hope she does!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with Annamaria was a highlight of your travels. She truly embodies the heart of Traveling Spoon, welcoming guests with warmth, sharing her culinary knowledge, and creating meaningful connections around the table. We’re so glad she was able to accommodate your dietary needs while still delivering such a memorable meal. We’ll be sure to pass along your invitation. We know she’d be just as delighted to visit you in the U.S. as you were to dine in her home. Thank you for booking an experience with Traveling Spoon!

Fun, easy and most importantly delicious!
Margarita is a wonderful and engaging host. Our remote team was looking for a fun activity for a remote get-together so we weren't just staring at each other and talking (like we do most of the day as it is), and this class really wowed us. Great experience all around, and we're looking forward to trying another class (plus recommending Margarita's class to all of our friends).
