Welcoming, Fun, Easy to do and a Delicious dinner. We had so many laughs and our 20 year old son loved it! Debrah was an AWESOME host and we loved every minute with her! I would do this again tomorrow!! Thanks for an AMAZING night in Milan
Thank you so much for your kind words! ✨ We’re truly happy that you felt at home with us — that’s exactly the spirit we want to share at Casa Pastrocchi. Cooking with simple, authentic ingredients is the heart of Italian cuisine, and it means a lot to hear that this turned into such a memorable evening for you.
My friends and I had such a fun time at this intimate cooking class! We learned how to make fresh pasta from scratch and even whipped up tiramisu for dessert. Niccolo and Francesca were so welcoming and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. We even were sent the recipes afterwards so we know how to make on our own in the future! Cooking together, sipping wine, and sharing laughs was definitely a highlight of our trip to Milan. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something hands-on and memorable!
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! ✨ We’re so happy to hear that making pasta and tiramisù together became one of the highlights of your trip to Milan. Cooking, laughing, sipping wine, and sharing the experience with you all was truly a joy for us too. We can’t wait to hear how your homemade pasta turns out back home — and remember, our kitchen door will always be open for you whenever you come back to Italy!
This experience was phenomenal! Chef Sissi was wonderful, and her home was very inviting. She taught us how feasible it is to make fresh pasta and raviolis. We have wanted to try for a long time, but had been intimidated by the process. This was also the best tiramisu we’ve ever had. Sissy was also very welcoming and relaxed with our 20 month old, offering her bread and biscuits, and letting her play with some dough. I would give this experience, and especially Sissi, 10 stars if I could.
We’re so grateful for your amazing feedback! 🌟 It’s wonderful to hear that Chef Sissi made you feel so welcome in her home and helped show how fun (and not intimidating!) making fresh pasta and ravioli can be. We love that your little one also got to enjoy the experience — that’s what Italian hospitality is all about. Hearing that it was the best tiramisù ever makes us so proud! Thank you for the “10 stars” — we’ll be sure to share your kind words with Sissi.
A wonderful evening with Niccolò and Francesca. We were immediately made to feel at home and welcomed. Niccolo was amazing and his passion for Italian cuisine was apparent from the very beginning, His expertise and love for teaching were highlight’s of the evening. The simple ingredients that comprise an authentic Italian meal resulted in a dining experience that was memorable in every way. If you are considering a cooking class I would highly recommend the experience with Niccolo.

My husband and I along with by 3 boys booked this for our trip to Milan. They were fully entertained and enjoyed ever moment of our time with Nikolo and his wife Francesca. we learned how to make pasta and different shapes as well has 2 sauces to go with it. The chocolate cake we had was devine. He shaped his grandma homemade olive oil with us and his homemade limoncello. So glad we book this!
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely feedback! 💛 It was such a joy to welcome your family into our home and see your boys having fun while cooking together. Pasta, sauces, chocolate cake, olive oil from Nonna, and a sip of homemade limoncello — this is exactly the kind of authentic Italian experience we love to share. We’re so glad you chose us for your Milan trip, and we hope these memories (and recipes!) will stay with you for a long time.
Amazing experience with my family. From the second we arrived they made us feel welcome and comfortable. Our kids had a blast, they're still talking about. The pasta came out amazing, they explained every step of the way. Can't wait to try and recreate at home.
Thank you so much! 💛 It was a real pleasure welcoming your family — we loved seeing the kids having such a great time in the kitchen. We’re so happy you enjoyed making pasta together and can’t wait to hear how your homemade version turns out back home. Those memories (and laughs!) are what make our classes so special
This hands-on cooking class in Milan was amazing! The entire experience was educational, fun, and incredibly inspiring. The chef was skilled and knowledgeable as well as passionate and engaging. We prepared delicious dishes using fresh, local ingredients, and the food and wine pairing was excellent. It was a true taste of authentic Italian cuisine, simple yet flavorful. We definitely left with new skills, great memories, and a full stomach! Highly recommend this experience while in Milan!!

Highly recommend the Casa Pastrocchi cooking class when visiting Milan, Italy! This class is hands-on, engaging, and so much fun. We learned a lot and enjoyed every minute of the experience. You’re welcomed into their beautiful home with a stunning cheese and meat tray, paired perfectly with delicious wine. The presentation alone was spectacular! We made a variety of pastas and tiramisu, all absolutely delicious. They even shared their homemade limoncello, which was amazing. We ended up buying a couple of bottles and were so glad we did. The chef was incredibly knowledgeable, and the whole experience was unforgettable. An absolute must-do in Milan!
Thank you so much for this amazing review! 💛 We’re overjoyed to hear how much you enjoyed every part of the Casa Pastrocchi experience — from the welcome with local cheese, charcuterie, and wine, to making pasta and tiramisù together, and finally sharing a glass of our homemade limoncello. Knowing that you found the class hands-on, engaging, and unforgettable makes us so proud. We’re delighted you took some limoncello home with you — a little taste of Italy to keep the memories alive. 🇮🇹✨ Grazie di cuore, and we hope to welcome you back anytime!
If you’ve ever wanted to cook like an Italian nonna but with fewer wrinkles and more wine, Niccolò’s home-based cooking class is where you want to be. From the moment we walked into his charming Italian kitchen, Niccolò had us laughing, learning, and kneading dough like pros. He’s got the warmth of your favorite uncle and the culinary wisdom of a man who clearly knows his ravioli from his elbow. We chopped, sautéed, rolled pasta like little Italian artisans, all while sipping Tuscan wine and swapping stories like old friends. By the end of the class, our stomachs were full, our hearts were fuller, and we may or may not have vowed to name our fifth child "Pasta alla Niccolò." He ended the class with our freshly made Tiramisu, made with his secret ingredient, a dessert wine to pair and got to sample his delicious homemade Limoncello! To top it off, his gift to us was so sweet and thoughtful and the best souvenir to go home with (you’ll have to book this class to find out what it is!) Book this class. Your inner foodie (and your taste buds) will thank you!! Grazie, Niccolo!
Dear Keilah, Your review made our day—and made us laugh out loud! We’re so happy you felt like part of the famiglia from the moment you stepped into our kitchen. Cooking like a true Italian nonna with fewer wrinkles and more wine is exactly the vibe we’re going for! Your words about the experience—kneading, sipping, laughing, and (almost) naming your fifth child after a pasta dish—are just priceless. We’re honored! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tiramisù, our little “segreto,” and of course the homemade limoncello. And shhh… let’s keep the surprise gift a mystery for future guests! 😉 Grazie mille for your kind words, your great energy, and for sharing this journey with us. Come back anytime—our kitchen (and hearts) are always open! Con tanto affetto, Niccolò & the Casa Pastrocchi Team
