Irene was an absolute delight! We made 3 pastas, with Irene guiding us through how to make each pasta shape with such joy and enthusiasm. We had a lovely time, learning lots about how to make pasta and the traditional cuisine in Bologna. Would highly recommend anyone of any cooking level to try this class out, was the perfect entrance to Bologna cooking.

This as such a wonderful experience. My husband and I did it with my daughter and her friend. The pasta making was very informative and ridiculously good. Irene’s entire family was so sweet and made us feel like part of the family. I travel a lot and think this will be a highlight of my children’s memories. Can’t wait to make pasta when I get home.

Although the food was yummy, the experience in itself was not as advertised.We opted to be picked up by the host, however we didn’t feel 80 euros was worth the transfer in the family car for an 11 minute ride. Irene was very knowledgeable and friendly, however we didn’t prepare or learn how to make filling, experience making the ragù, or experience how to cook the pasta. She gave us the recipe for the ragù but no hands on lesson. We did use the flour and egg to make the pasta and learn how to make shapes, however YouTube could probably do the same. Because this cooking class was in their small, cluttered, (somewhat stuffy) Italian home, her daughter would frequently interrupt. She was very friendly but didn’t seem to be aware of personal space. She was very touchy towards other guests, touching hair and tattoos, etc. It’s just not what you would expect for a “private” cooking class. Thankfully the cats were outside. Again, Irene was very nice but you’d be better off looking elsewhere if you’re wanting a “private” Italian cooking class in a nicer environment where maybe you can participate in the actual cooking.

We had a lovely time. Irene was a great host and instructor. We greatly enjoyed learning to make the three pastas and enjoyed even more eating them. The hospitality was excellent and the surprise cake at the end was wonderful. We highly recommend this tour. It was a highlight for our group of four.

We had an enjoyable time. Not only did we learn how to make tortellini and two other pastas, but we got to enjoy the company of several others from England and Scotland.
Irene was a wonderful teacher and gracious host. The pasta we made was delicious, and oh so filling. I can't wait to cook up some pasta when we get home.
