“This was probably the most fun experience that we had in all of Italy! Highly recommend! Davide, Cris and Carmella were all wonderful. Everything flowed and the experience was amazing!

“This class with Amber was really great. She was immediately engaging and funny. Our small group all enjoyed music, wine, and a lot of laughs and learning. Amber taught us how to make pasta and tiramisu, gave us tips and recipes, and helped us to create a delicious dinner. After making our pasta, our group enjoyed wine and conversation in the restaurant while our pasta was cooked and sauced. We were amazed at how much and how amazing it all was. Thank you for such a fun and memorable experience, Amber! (We have already made tiramisu after returning home and can't wait to make some ravioli!)”
