    A truly wonderful experience with our teacher Davide. I was a bit sceptical in the beginning thinking that pasta making isn’t that difficult, but we learnt lots of little tips ticks. It was also very entertaining with Davide making photos and videos of us when throwing pasta into the air. One of our best experiences during our trip. Highly recommended!

    David was the best ever! We had so much fun during our cooking class. Memories for life. Made pesto to start, then 2 pastas, fish dishes and tiramisu. It was the best day ever. Such an amazing memory. If you’re coming to Sestri Levante, david will help you make the best food and have the best day ever
