We were warmly greeted by Paola, her husband and her lifelong friend at their home. She had the whole evening planned for us. First a pasta/ravioli making demonstration and hands on activity in her kitchen. Once we were done we went into the beautifully set dining room for some prosecco and description of what the meal was going to be. We asked for a vegetarian/fish menu, which she accommodated with no problem. All of the food was delicious and of course homemade. All of the ingredients came from a local garden. Sitting around a table with a local family was a great experience and I would highly recommend it for a change from your nightly restaurant search. One thing that I would note is that they spoke little to no English. I understand Italian and can carry on a basic conversation, which made the night all the more fun. If you don't know the language you could let them know on the website and I think there is a way to work it out.

Would highly recommend this tour to truly experience the local food and culture of the region. Maria Paola and her family were a delight. We spent a week on the Italian Riviera and this tour was the highlight of our trip! Thank you so much for offering this type of authentic experience.

If you want to go off the beaten track, you might find what you're looking for here. You book an experience at Paola and Massimo's home, where you learn from Paola how to prepare a few Italian dishes: for our dinner we made a kind of ravioli. In addition to the dishes prepared together, you are spoiled with other delicacies from Paola. Prosecco and of course Italian wines help to quench your thirst. Dolce was also a must. We received a very warm welcome and felt very comfortable. Since we were already prepared for an evening in which we would communicate with hosts using hand gestures and feet without knowing any Italian, we were all the more delighted that a friend of the family was there to translate for us. It was a more than successful and beautiful evening that we will certainly remember for a long time. For those who are doubtful, definitely do it! It's worth it 🫶👍
