- Awesome experience to make pasta and tiramisu from scratch. The hosts were amazing!
- Simona and Carolina were wonderful teachers and we so enjoyed meeting them! My husband and I booked this class on the last day of our honeymoon, and we agree that it was the highlight of the trip. It was so fun to learn a new skill, and we’re excited to try out more recipes from Carolina’s YouTube channel & food blog. Carolina and Simona were kind and accommodating - it was really pleasant to sit and enjoy the meal with them after the cooking was done. We couldn’t recommend them more!
- Carolina and her daughter Simona were wonderful hosts. The food was excellent and they made us feel like family. Highly recommended!
- I had a wonderful evening cooking in Carolina and Simona’s beautiful kitchen. I have taken many cooking classes and I enjoy everyone and I always learn something new. This class was no exception. I highly recommend.
- Carolina and Simona were amazing! They were so welcoming to us and treated us like family. We made three dishes and all of them were so delicious. I was always intimidated by tiramisu, but they explained everything in great detail and it was actually easier than expected. We even had a great helper, Carlotta, their new puppy. She was adorable and made the experience even more fun. I would completely recommend Carolina and Simona for any group. We had the best time!
