This was the highlight of our entire trip to Italy. Chiara was a fabulous host. And it really was in her home! So comfortable and casual. And in the span of just a couple hours we made tiramisu, pasta and tomato sauce. All delicious! Highly recommended!

Itinerary
A warm welcome in a typical Milanese courtyard house where you’ll meet your host. The group is limited to 6 people to allow the host to carefully guide everyone and to create an intimate and enjoyable atmosphere for all. A delicious welcome aperitif with typical products and wine, which will be served throughout the workshop. The cooking class begins! Chiara will guide you through every step, sharing tips and tricks to make excellent homemade pasta. And guess what? You’ll discover that it’s not difficult, and with the recipes Chiara gives you, you’ll be able to recreate the dishes at home. This cooking class is more than just a lesson: it’s an immersive experience that lets you truly connect with Italian culture. But the best part is at the end of the lesson when you’ll enjoy the result of your work and taste the dishes you prepared together with your new friends. All of this is accompanied by excellent Italian wine in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.

Chiara was an excellent instructor. The class was fun and the food was absolutely delicious. We had a blast and would recommend this class to everyone
It was a fantastic experience. She did an excellent job of teaching how to prepare the dishes. Definitely will recommend coming to her for a cooking experience.
Chiara was an excellent welcoming host who did everything she could to make an enjoyable experience . She is good fun too! Wine was plentiful . She explained everything and as a diverse group , some who actively avoid cooking🤣 she made sure we all had a great time and our meal turned out fab. Communication was excellent and directions to the property was clear . Chiara also provides wine, water and aperitivo, before you start cooking, so go there hungry. Brilliant experience - book it !
I’m not sure that there are enough words to fully explain out afternoon with Chiara in an adequate manner. From the booking to the class, my colleague and I had the most amazing afternoon with this cooking class. Chiara’s home is warm and inviting and spotless! We were so comfortable in her home and didn’t want to leave. From the welcoming wine and appertivo to the delicious homemade Tiramisu and hand rolled pasta, it was truly a dream come true. We will miss Chiara when we return to the USA but will cherish our afternoon together. Don’t hesitate!! Book this class!
We had a fantastic time at our Italian cooking class! Our guide was warm and friendly, and shared plenty of helpful tips along the way. We made fresh pasta by hand, which was a real highlight, and finished with a delicious tiramisu. The cozy, homely atmosphere made it feel like cooking with friends. A truly wonderful Italian evening!
Thank you Chiara for making our trip to Milan so special! The cooking class was intimate, delightful and the home atmosphere incredibly relaxing and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed the class and are already excited to recreate the dishes at home!
We had such a lovely cooking class with Chiara, a warm and kind host. She shared great tips for making Italian dishes at home, and we made fresh pasta completely by hand. We finished with a delicious tiramisu. Add a glass of wine, good food and cozy conversation in a welcoming home, and it was a perfect evening. Truly enjoyed every minute!
This was an excellent time. Rafa was so fun to cook with and extremely patient. His stories were fantastic and how he teaches is straightforward and fun. He doesnt have a pretentious bone in his body. This is just a fun time making great food. Don’t miss this!!
We did this as a family of four and it ended up being one of our favourite experiences in Milan. The host was engaging, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, and cooking in his home made it feel like a genuinely authentic experience instead of a tourist activity. We learned a lot, had a great time together, and the pasta we made was honestly the best pasta we ate on our whole Italy trip. We’d absolutely recommend it.
Chiara was amazing! We had such a lovely experience with her learning authentically how to cook delish food in a warm, welcoming, and loving environment. Absolutely recommend :)
Amazing cooking class, really welcoming and a lovely home! Delicious food and super helpful!
This cooking class with Chiara was one of the highlights of our trip. She brings you into her home and within minutes you feel like you are with an old friend. Her personality, knowledge and cooking skills are all on point. We made homemade pasta that she served with a lovely bolognese sauce- was soooo good. We also made tiramisu that was one of the best I have had. Oh and wine- the wine flowed! You will not be disappointed if you can join Chiara for this wonderful experience! Highly recommend from all four of our party!
This exceeded all our expectations!! Chiara was so kind and patient and relaxed and engaging. The food and wine was delicious!! We never felt rushed, she took the time to get to know us. Well worth the money! And would highly recommend!
Chiara was very nice and flexible in accommodating a group that included a young girl who needed extra guidance and engagement. We had a good time in a convivial atmosphere.
We had a fantastic lunch and afternoon making pasta and tiramisu with Chiara in her lovely apartment. The course was relaxed and fun to do with free-flowing wine for the entirety. After making individual tiramisu we made the pasta, rolled and cut it for tagliatelle, whilst Chirara made a fresh tomato sauce. We were only visiting Milan for the day, but this was a great way to see a different area of the city and also have amazing lunch, with the satisfaction of knowing we made it! The whole experience was perfect from start to finish and it felt more like cooking with a friend than a formal cooking course. If you have some time in Milan and looking for pasta making this is a great option.
My family and I had the best time cooking with Chiara. She was a welcoming host who demonstrated patience and helpfulness throughout the whole class. Her home was so inviting and she did a wonderful job accommodating the needs of our family. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn to make pasta and tiramisu in a typical Italian home! It was the best time!!
Cooking from scratch with Chiara was a wonderful first activity for our first day in Milan. She was so welcoming and a great teacher, and the food was amazing. Grazie, Chiara!!
We just got to our Airbnb. I will leave another review in more detail tomorrow .This was THE highlight of our trip of 3 days. Amazing. Thank you for welcoming Robert and I into your home. 10/10!!!!
Great experience, very nice!
Delightful experience! Wonderful hostess & chef!! We created a full meal & enjoyed our food creation. Rolling the dough for the pasta turned out much better than I thought. We had a great teacher. More than yummy. The refreshments our hostess provided accompanying our meal --- a great pairing. I have to say it was one of the highlights of our trip.
We had an incredible evening with Charissa in her home making pasta and tiramisu. She was welcoming and a whole lot of fun! We highly recommend spending some of your vacation experience with her!
Chiara is an amazing teacher and lovely person. The food was amazing and the experience was so fun I would highly recommend it to anyone. Very nice house and vibe as well. We loved spending time with Chiara and cooking with her. Truly delicious home cooked meal and we left feeling full and proud of what we made.
Amazing experience!!! So cool to be able to experience a Milan apartment while cooking great food! Chiara was very inviting and friendly! 100% worth every penny and perfect for all kinds of groups.
We had a wonderful time at Chiara’s intimate cooking class. We started by learning how to make tiramisu so that it could rest in the fridge long enough. It was easier than we had expected, and it turned out amazing! Then we learned how to make dough for homemade pasta. Of course, only a few ingredients were necessary, but we learned some secret tips and techniques that Chiara had learned from her grandmother. After making beautiful tagliatelle, Chiara showed us how to prepare a simple but delicious ragù variation with salsiccia, a local sausage. After all the cooking, it was wonderful to taste our own creation. It turned out very well and made for a fantastic meal. Besides everything we learned and the fun we had cooking, it was also lovely to get to know Chiara. She has a beautiful home and was an amazing host. We had great conversations about our lives, and the wine that accompanied the whole experience was the cherry on top of a perfect day. We cannot recommend this cooking class enough. If you want an authentic experience, learn a lot, and have a great time, this is perfect for you.
Chiara was a wonderful hostess and instructor. We enjoyed her beautifully edited apartment. The food was so delicious!
It was a very nice family experience! We felt welcome in our host’s home and learned all about the pasta and tiramisu making process. The final product was delish! Definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful evening, four of us, learning to make Tiramsu and pasta. The evening was relaxed, informative and definitely memorable. I would highly recommend this as an activity. Our teacher Chiara was very informative and helpful.
We cannot say enough about what a wonderful evening we had with Chiara. The whole experience was top-notch from returning to end. My husband who does not cook would recommend it to all husbands who do not cook we made pasta and tiramisu and enjoyed wine and wonderful appetizers. It was an amazing welcome to Milan on our first night here. We highly highly recommend. This is not to be missed when visiting Milan.
We had a fantastic cooking class with Chiara. She made us really welcome in her home and we made the best tiramisu I’ve ever eaten and also made a pasta dish from scratch which was really delicious. She explained everything really well and I’m confident that I can make pasta again at home. The cooking class is suitable for less experienced cooks is well she’s so good at making everyone relaxed. Thank you Chiara.
This "cozy dinner experience" was a favorite activity for my daughter and I during our brief (3 day) visit to Milan. Our hostess Chiara A. made us feel very welcome + at home. We felt like we were visiting an "old friend". The other 4 attendees were from the Netherlands and Chiara's interactions with us all brought laughter + a truly relaxed atmosphere. Chiara was very knowledgeable about how to make the dishes selected. I might even give pasta making a try at home! With all our conversation and learning, our evening was longer than the planned 3 hrs (4+ hrs)... we were home later than expected. Very tired but with wonderful memories of our Milanese experience! Chiara was also very responsive before our dinner (texted me via WhatsApp right away) when I had concerns about directions. Provided helpful information for nearest metro stop.
We made nice pasta and tiramisu!!
Chiara was an incredible host for this type of night my girlfriend and I were looking for. She spewed out such a warm aura while talking and teaching us and her home was as welcoming as she was. She taught us how to make pasta and tiramisu and she made it really easy to comprehend and came out delicious. Couldn’t have asked for a better night, she was the best!
Chiara was amazing in her abilities to host, teach, and make you feel welcomed. At first glance her home was a very welcoming environment with beautiful colors and plants. She was also very funny and did a wonderful job making sure we understood how to make our food. Overall my girlfriend and I couldn’t have asked for a better host/teacher. She’s the best!!
Fantastic experience! Chiara was flexible with our group’s interests and capabilities. She also taught us a lot about Milan and Italy. She was wonderful!
We had an absolutely great time together with Chiara! She was conscientious, attentive to allergies, and food and wine choices. We thoroughly enjoyed an engaging, interactive hands on experience as we learned how to make wonderfully delicious basil stuffed tortellini immersed in tantalizing sausage tomato sauce - wow! She showed us how easy it was to make creamy, light tasty tiramisu. Thank you for the gift of sharing your love of food and dishes reflecting your country’s culture with us. We look forward to sharing what we learned in Italy with our friends back home.
We were very lucky to be the only couple scheduled for the class that day so it was very intimate and special for us. Chiara is very kind and gave us a warm welcome into her home, which made us comfortable from the start. The cooking portion of the class was very fun, but eating our creation was the best part! We cannot wait to try to recreate the meal at home and will definitely be trying this class again on our next visit to Milan.
Chiara is an absolutely incredible hostess and chef and we had the most amazing afternoon cooking with her. The ambiance, music, wine, food and conversations were a perfect ending to our Milan trip and we couldn’t recommend her enough. A huge thanks to Chiara for being such a highlight and a family memory we won’t forget!
I would 100% have paid 3x what we paid for this experience. This is an absolute bargain for what you actually get out of this experience. Food is a love language, which is absolutely what you receive here. We are beyond stoked to take the skills we learned home with us. When we come back to Milan, we will be returning here.
Great cooking class and atmosphere! Chiara was amazing at making us comfortable to Anjou a relaxing evening. We made tiramisù and pasta from scratch with the help of Chiara. She walked us through every step and let us experiment with the process. Highly recommend for a cozy cooking evening!
This was one of the top experiences throughout our entire trip! Chiara was so generous and took care of everyone in the group, including any dietary restrictions. We had the absolute best time and would highly recommend this authentic experience during your visit in Milan.
This was our best night in Milan! The food was incredible! Chiara made the experience so much fun. We would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Milan!!
This was the best experience we had while we were in Milan!!! The food was the best of the whole trip. Chiara was so kind and sweet. We would book this experience again tomorrow!! Definitely recommend while you’re in Milan!
This really was a cozy cooking class. The host, Chiara was delightful. The class was fun, with great food, and conversation all evening.
What a wonderful experience! Highly recommend. Ended up being the two of us, and was definitely glad I had booked it. Chiara was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Food was delicious, and she inquired about food sensitivities, and she took my friend’s into account when planning the meal. We were here for the Olympics and was very happy to be able to book and experience this lovely evening.
Great evening and experience! Chiara is very welcoming and a wonderful teacher. It was a fun class, we learned to do pasta and tiramisu while enjoying some delicious wine. Highly recommended!
Chiara’s cooking class was absolutely wonderful. Her apartment is a little slice of heaven in Milan, warm and inviting, and the food is absolutely delicious. Even more than the cooking tips and a good meal, Chiara herself is such a lovely human. She’s so accommodating and welcoming, making it a truly unforgettable experience. I would definitely book again with friends who come to town and recommend to anyone traveling through!
We had a great time at Chiara’s cosy house! The best experience in Milan! Very good pasta and tiramisu. Chiara is lovely! ❤️
My wife and I had the most unforgettable evening with Chiara in her beautiful Milanese home. A couple canceled last minute, so it ended up being just the three of us, and honestly, it felt like we were spending a cozy Sunday night cooking with a friend. Chiara has this incredible way of making you feel instantly welcome. She asked about our food intolerances, allergies, and even our favorite wines, then crafted the entire experience around us. She had gone shopping that very day, so every ingredient was unbelievably fresh, and it showed in the dishes. The Bolognese and tiramisu we made together were hands-down the best we’ve ever had. We loved them so much we took some tiramisu back to our hotel and ate it for breakfast the next morning. It was our first evening in Milan and this class set the tone for the entire trip. Chiara’s warmth, her gorgeous apartment, and her passion for sharing authentic Italian cooking made the night feel truly special. It was intimate, relaxed, and full of laughter, exactly what you hope for in a cooking class. We can’t recommend her enough. A true 10/10 experience.
My wife and I had an incredible stay!!!!! The apartment was lovely, but the hospitality was even better. It was truly one of the most romantic highlights of our trip. Also, do not miss the tiramisu, it’s the best I’ve ever had! Thank you for the wine, the pasta, and the wonderful memories. Maya&Eran
