Fabulous experience!

Barbara was an excellent hostess with a very lovely home! Food and presentation was awesome and loved the opportunity to get our dog fix with her Jack Russel’s. P.S. Let her know what leftovers you would like to take away!

We learned how to make...

We learned how to make home made gnocchis and were welcomed so nicely into their home. The food they prepared us was one of our favorite meals we had in Italy, especially the pork and pesto! Would very much recommend to anyone who wants a traditional Italian meal!

Cooking demo and dinner at Barbara's

Directions to our experience were easy to follow. Our hostess was welcoming and informative, and the food and drink were delightful. Gnocchi made from scratch, appetizers incorporating fresh garden vegetables, flavorful meatballs, and a wonderful tiramisu were among the delicious items we enjoyed. Her affectionate Jack Russell Terriers were an added a bonus. Pricing was reasonable & we would certainly recommend the experience to others. Plan it for early in your visit to consider restaurants, vineyards, or other local attractions your hostess may suggest.

Thank you, Barbara!!

We had the most wonderful evening in Barbara’s home. Met with wine and a cheese board, Barbara shows us how to make gnocchi and then we sat down to enjoy the meal. It was me, my aunt, and two other couples. Very comfortable group and lovely evening with phenomenal food. This evening was a highlight of our trip!

Great experience

It was just me and my husband. We got so much food and they were so kind. Unfortunately I had car sick, so couldn’t enjoy all the delicious food she made. They have two beautiful dogs too. It is highly recommend if u looking for some different experiences.

Barbara and her husband were the most gracious hosts. We learned to make gnocchi and enjoyed a traditional Italian meal

This was truly the highlight of our trip to Italy thus far. We felt like family in Barbara’s kitchen and will bring home some new cooking skills for our families. We also learned a lot about local culture. A pure delight!!
