Pesto and Gnocchi Class

Published on Oct, 2024

What an adventurous afternoon. Barbara and her husband were a lot of fun and really enjoy what they do. We learned a lot and got to have some great food, wine, and company. The climb up to their house was thrilling and gave us a good appetite. I highly recommend this class.

10/10 experience with an absolutely charming host!

Published on Oct, 2024

Absolutely amazing experience in Barbara and Stefano’s incredible home. Barbara is passionate about sharing her love of cooking, friendly, funny, and extremely accommodating. We had an excellent time during our pesto and Gnocci class during our couples trip and wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book another class with Barbara when we are back next.

Fantastic cooking experience!

Fantastic cooking experience in an amazing home in the mountains of Riomaggiore. Be aware however that traveling to this home includes a very Challenging walk downhill on a rocky path from the main road. All good if you’re reasonably fit but not recommended if hills or rocky terrain bothers you.

Truly authentic full course class and family meal

Published on Jul, 2024

What a wonderful experience! We attended as a family, our kids are 14 & 16. Barbara was an excellent teacher and included everyone on the class. Her and her husband also shared several other family recipes and Italian secret cooking techniques. I’m so happy we didn’t do the large group touristy class, we saw those lines the next day and they were so long. This was perfect and we all enjoyed a home cooked meal together at the table.

Delicious, Beautiful, Insightful Evening Creating & Indulging in the Local Specialties

Published on Jun, 2024

Barbara was the most welcoming host to her beautiful garden and home, perched atop the hills above Riomaggiore. Her and her husband guided us through each step of the pesto, gnocchi, bruschetta, and tiramisu recipes- including sharing technique and ingredient insights passed down from her grandmother. They were patient, funny, friendly, and so hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed the full experience! Be sure to wear comfortable shoes for you’ll be standing a lot, and have a bit of a trek (with quite the view) to get down to their home from the drop off point on the road. It’s so worth it!
