Authentic Milan Cooking Class with Nicoletta & Fabio

Such a lovely couple! I had the morning slot 11am-2pm! Fabio and Nicolette are so welcoming, happy and love to share the food and cultural knowledge! ☺️🩵 I got to make tiramisu first , then creating the pasta from scratch! At 1:30 we then enjoy the meal we made! I really loved talking to the couple about the culture and their experiences! 5 star ⭐

Nicoletta and Fabio were amazing hosts. We had fun but learned a lot and the food we made was delicious. They explained where they got their produce from. Very organised, Very clean. An absolute must if you love cooking

From the moment we received a thoughtful welcome note the day before our class, we knew our experience with Nicoletta and Fabio would be special. Their home, located just a short subway ride outside of Milan’s city center, felt like stepping into the heart of Italian hospitality. We were greeted warmly at their apartment and immediately felt at ease. Nicoletta and Fabio have a natural grace about them — the kind that makes you feel less like a guest and more like a friend invited into their home. Our experience began with tiramisu, prepared with impressive precision and care. They guided us step-by-step, explaining technique and sharing tips that reflected years of practice and passion. From there, we moved on to making fresh pasta entirely from scratch — crafting ravioli and tagliatelle using beautiful, fresh ingredients sourced from their local farmers’ market. Their commitment to quality was evident; they shop multiple times a week and clearly take pride in selecting the best seasonal products. What makes this experience truly exceptional is not just the cooking — it’s the people. Nicoletta and Fabio are incredibly well-traveled, and their kitchen reflects that influence, with spices, teas, and ingredients collected from around the world. Our time together flowed naturally between cooking and conversation — discussing travel, culture, family, and life experiences. It was genuine, engaging, and enriching. They shared not only their recipes but their stories, and it was clear how much they love what they do. Their enthusiasm for cooking and hospitality shines through in every detail — from the carefully chosen tools and pasta machines they’ve perfected over time, to the wine and appetizers enjoyed as we cooked. After preparing the meal, we all sat down together at their dining table to enjoy the dishes we had created. Sharing that meal — filled with laughter, learning, and meaningful conversation — was the perfect culmination of the experience. This was far more than a cooking class. It was an intimate cultural exchange and a highlight of our time in Milan. I would confidently recommend this experience to my clients and to anyone seeking a deeper, more personal connection to Italian cuisine and culture.

Wonderful experience as usual with Traveling Spoon, this time in Milan. Had a fantastic evening with our hosts. Had a great time learning about and making our dishes and an even better time sharing some time with fellow travelers. Highly recommend if visiting Milan, especially if you love to travel as this couple has been everywhere.

Absolutely loved the class! Nicoletta and Fabio were the most amazing teachers and hosts. It felt like being welcomed into a friend’s home for an evening of cooking, delicious food, and really lovely company. They encouraged my kids to participate in every step - separating the egg yolks, whipping the cream, kneading the dough - and sent us great photos afterwards. This was easily one my kids’ top 2 favorite activities Milan (aside being able to eat amazing gelato every day). My daughter is already asking for us to try make the tiramisu at home. Thank you Nicoletta and Fabio for the wonderful experience!

Fabio and Nicoletta are amazing hosts, full of kindness, cooking expertise, and life experience, which we are so happy to have had the chance to share in. The food was amazing, and so was talking to our hosts. Big recommendations!

Absolutely most authentic experience and would highly recommend to anyone. They even managed to cater to my gluten free requirements!

This was the highlight to our Italian vacation. Nicoletta and Fabio were fabulous hosts and great chefs. While the pasta, ravioli and taramisu were delicious, Nicoletta and Fabio's hospitality was truly the highlight of the evening we spent with them. We will be relating our grand experience with them for years to come as well as trying to recreate their delicious food. Thank you.

Nicoletta and Fabio were incredible hosts, teachers, and friends to share a meal with — all in one! This fun-loving couple taught me all that there was to know about the 3 dishes we prepared (delicious, btw) and answered any questions I had on Italian culture, food, Milan, and anything else! Their beautiful and charming apartment was the cherry on top. Such a special afternoon, would 100% do again!

The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Nicoletta and Fabio were wonderful hosts and welcomed us into their beautiful home with open arms. We made Tiramisu, Tagliatelle and Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli. The experience was fun and informal. The cin redaction was flowing and it was a great addition to our trip in Milan. We then sat down to share diner together round the table with some delicious red wine. A wonderful way to end our first day in Milan.
