Lovely people, they hosted us togheter and had really nice chat whit them about life and experiences. It felt like we shared a moment in their life plus we also learned all the tips and tricks of making tagliatelle,ravioli and tiramisu.
We cooked in a really lovely garden. Patrizia and her mother both taught us so well and were so warm and welcoming. Zeus was also such a sweet dog who just couldnt get enough belly rubs🥰 At the end of the evening we stayed a chatted and also got to try Patrizias homemade limoncello and orange liqueur, which were fantastic! We will definitely come back🤗
The pasta and tiramisu workshop with Patrizia in her home was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at ease. Patrizia guided us step by step in preparing tiramisu and two different types of fresh pasta, making the process both fun and accessible. After the cooking, we enjoyed a lovely aperitif with delicious bites, accompanied by her homemade Prosecco, while the pasta was being finished and the table prepared. To top it all off, we were treated to homemade limoncello for dessert. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and without a doubt one of the highlights of our week in the Rimini area. A special mention goes to Patrizia’s mother, who was incredibly kind and ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes, from preparing the aperitif to taking care of the cleaning. Highly recommended.
Very friendly and went above and beyond to make it a special experience. Accommodated dietary restrictions for my family
Amazing authentic Italian cooking class! Nona was incredible and taught us tips to make the best pasta and tiramisu
It was a wonderful evening. We felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun. Giacomo is very friendly, and we were able to learn a lot from him. Highly recommended!
Max was an excellent cook. He definitely knows his way around the kitchen. We made a couple types of pasta and made tiramisu. He and his family were very welcoming. We were late due to the class not being directly in Rimini but in Arcangelo which was about 30 minutes outside of Rimini, but Max was very accommodating. We learned a lot from Max and would recommend this to all.
I went to this cooking experience with my 14 year old son. We are from the US but have family in Italy that we had been visiting before coming to Rimini. Patrizia made this experience feel like I was still with family in Calabria. We learned how to make pasta and ravioli and tiramisu. Her home was welcoming and tranquil. With a beautiful fountain and garden. The whole evening was wonderful. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to experience Italian culture.
We spent a lovely morning learning to make pasta and Tiramisu under the patient instruction from Patti and her mum. The end result was delicious thanks to Patti's sauces and we had a great lunch. V enjoyable and would recommend if you enjoy cooking and like to try new things
This cooking class gave us an authentic Italian feel for the cuisine and culture, Giacomo shared his passion for pasta making, he and Alex were fantastic hosts. Our group was great, we had so much fun! The food was amazing and they also took us on a beautifull walking tour of their beautifull city Santarcangelo, a lively town with lights and cozy restaurants everywhere with a great view on the top ! Thank you for this Italian evening and the tips you gave us to see San Leo and Gabicce Monte, we did both!
We enjoyed this wonderful, private cooking experience one on one with Patrizia and her Mum Carla. We were welcomed into her home just out of Rimini where she had prepared all the freshest, local ingredients for our cooking class. The environment immediately felt special, like cooking with friends for dinner and everything was very well prepared. We made a Tiramisu dessert first so it could set in the fridge and straight away we were ‘hands on’. This wasn’t a ‘I’ll show you experience’, we were doing the cooking! Once prepared we were right into the pasta making doing the mixing and kneading. We refreshed with a glass of Prosecco and learned about the method, tips and making the fillings using fresh, local produce. Creating 2 types of pasta, ravioli and cappelletti we set about all the work making these one by one, cutting, filling and shaping. With background Italian music, smiles and laughs were all part of the fun experience. Mum Carla did all the tidy up and cleaning up – we just did all the pasta prep! Dinner was beautifully set up in the alfresco back yard with a running water fountain, gingham table cloth and appetizers Mum Carla has prepared for us; bruschetta, antipasto and vino! We cooked the ravioli together, Patrizia showed us the finishing touches with parmesan and cooking water before we devoured that. Then the cappelletti which was served with a ragout she had already prepared, delicious. We were already full before eating the Tiramisu we prepared, finishing off with a home-made Limoncello. This experience was so personalised, homely and extremely well done. We can highly recommend this, leaving with the skills and knowledge to do confidently do this at home. A four-hour experience usually money can’t buy. 10/10!
Tatiana and Lori welcomed us like family. With hospitality, guidance and humor, we learned to cook ravoli and tagliatelle, followed by the best tiramisu I have ever had! We got to taste local cheeses and ham before we started, along with tasteful wine. This was the highlight of our trip, and we would recommend anyone to set aside one evening for this Italian experience.
Tatiana and Lori took us in like family. With plenty of humor, hospitality and guidance, we learned to cook ravioli and tagliatelle, followed by the best tiramisu we have ever had! We started with lovely wine and nibbles of local cheeses and hams, while having time to chat, learn all their pasta tricks, and learn some Italian as well. This was definitely a highlight on our trip, and I would recommend everyone heading to Rimini to book their evening for this course. Grazie mille!
We had a great time! The pasta and tiramisu were amazing. We can't wait to take all that we learned home and make pasta for our family and friends. Thank you for welcoming us into your home!
It was amazing evening. At Giacomo‘s one feels like at home. I‘ve learned how to make pasta and it is like a show! Giacomo is very kind and helpful, and you can receive from him many local advices for different occasions! I enjoyed the evening very much!
My husband, son and I had an amazing time with Patrizia, her husband and son learning to cook pasta and tiramisu! They welcomed us into their home like family. So much fun trading translations on google translate! This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Italy!
I had a wonderful day as Patrizia and her family graciously welcomed me into their home and she taught me skills that will stay with me and my family for a lifetime. I would highly recommend this experience and I will most probably do this again in another city learning more delicious dishes.
My wife and I enjoyed an absolutely fantastic evening with Patrizia and her lovely husband and son, while learning how to make the best Tiramisu on earth and cooking two absolutely delicious Pasta dishes! It's the first time ever that we made our own Pasta and Patrizia was such an expert at showing us how to do everything with ease - though non of the steps are difficult, it is so much nicer to do them together and have someone show you how it's done correctly. This was an evening to remember! I can highly recommend Patrizia's cooking experiences to anyone - and if you are joining her at a time of good weather, you will even be able to enjoy eating outside in her amazing garden :) Thanks again, Patrizia, for the great time we had with you and your family!
Just amazing! Patrizia and Luca we’re both amazing. With three young children, we made a wonderful tiramisu and two different pastas. We then had the most wonderful lunch in Patrizia’s beautiful garden. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend to anyone passing through Rimini. Learning to make pasta and tiramisu in someone’s home is an experience you will hold forever. Our host made the best Ragu I have ever had, cannot recommend enough of this!
Der Kochkurs war perfekt. Man hat sich bei Patrizia sehr wohl gefühlt. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht und wir haben viel gelernt. Das Essen hat fantastisch geschmeckt. Auch die Vorspeise und der Prosecco waren toll. Wir können es nur empfehlen! Es war eine tolle authentische Erfahrung.
It was simply wonderful, a super sweet lady who led the whole thing. Beautiful ambiance with great food that comes from the lady's garden.
🥰 Patrizia was kind, patient and made the experience really enjoyable. I learned a lot and the dishes we prepared were delicious. I highly recommend!
It was a very nice experience. We were warmly received by Tatiana and her partner. After a pleasant meeting we immediately went to work kneading pasta. After making the pasta we learned to make the most delicious tiramisu. Then all the pasta was deliciously prepared and we were allowed to eat it ourselves with the homemade tiramisu for dessert. Thank you so much for the nice lesson and the delicious food. Highly recommended.
We spent a wonderful, warm and delicious evening at Patrizia. With her calm and warm nature we felt right at home. The preparation of the food was always straightforward and very well explained. We would definitely visit Patrizia again and cook with her as it was an unforgettable experience for my husband, daughter and me. We wish Patrizia and her family all the best and say “graze mille”!
We booked the course in advance for our holiday in Rimini. At first we were a little skeptical because the course was not directly in Rimini but in Santarcangelo. On site we were warmly welcomed. We prepared piadina, a regional speciality, and two types of pasta and then tasted them. It was accompanied by wine and beer. During the preparation we exchanged a lot. The food tasted very good. First, the piadina according to the classic method of preparation. Then the paste with two different sauces. Finally, there was tiramisu. Giacomo then took the time to show us around the city. The initial scepticism was absolutely not justified. Santarcangelo is a beautiful small town, of which Giacomo showed us some nice places. For us it was a very nice experience. We would repeat that. Giacomo was an outstanding host!
I received this experience as a gift, because I have always had so much passion for cooking. Thanks to Cesarina Patrizia it was a really super evening, hospitality, kindness and patience in teaching me the tricks to make an excellent puff pastry, they made it unique!
After a very nice welcome, delicious tiramisu, tortellini and pasta made. In between tasty traditional snacks, prosecco and then cozy food with them in the beautiful garden! And to conclude, homemade limoncello! I felt very welcome and this was exactly as I had heard it! Thank you dear people for your hospitality
Yesterday we were at Giacomo and husband home for the experience cooking with the locals. We were warmly received and it was so nice. Giacomo had a lot of knowledge and could convey this fascinatingly. Pastas were delicious and plentiful. Definitely a Super experience which we will definitely book again when we are near Rimini.
Nous avons été enchantées de notre cours de cuisine de préparations de différentes sortes de pâte et du fameux tiramisu avec samanta. Les conseils éteints très clairs et d’un grand professionnalisme. Nous avons été très bien guidées pour la réalisation des pâtes, raviolis et tiramisu. Tous les produits utilisés étaient biologiques et de fabrication locale, le tout orchestré dans une cuisine spacieuse digne d’un professionnel. La dégustation final me de notre « propre production » a été un délice : tout était bon et avec du goût. Nous nous sommes régalées et avons apprécié la gentillesse eh la bonne humeur de Samantha. Aussi nous avons passé un joyeux moment de partage et de convivialité. En conclusion nous avons adoré ce cours de cuisine avec Samantha. La barrière de la langue n’a pas été un problème. Nous avons bien compris les consignes et sommes capables de le reproduire à la maison En conclusion nous recommandons à 200% cette expérience avec Samantha. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
