The most amazing day, in beautiful setting. Kind, knowledgeable, knowledgeable chef Marco was fantastic at teaching everyone.. at any level how to make the most beautiful natural pasta. We were lucky enough to enjoy the beautiful wine from their vineyard. ROCCO.. thank you for amazing day, making pasta, friends and memories ❤️ Jane & Paul xx
This class was great and super easy. The food we made tasted delicious and the teacher was funny and cheerful. The windows of the cooking class overlook the vineyard and it’s a beautiful backdrop. Would definitely recommend this experience!
Many thanks to Marco for a wonderfully informative enjoyable experience making pasta. I’m not much of a cook and my Ravioli wouldn’t have won any awards but after this course I wouldn’t hesitate make fresh pasta from scratch. Great fun, lovely company and superb wine made this experience one to savour in every sense. Many thanks again, we highly recommend.
This was a fabulous experience and one we would highly recommend. You really do learn the basics of how to make pasta in a very informative and fun way. The location is lovely, the kitchen is air conditioned and the host/chef is certainly the right man in the right job. The session ends with lunch accompanied by wine. Not the easiest places to find. We paid €20 for a taxi from the centre of Bardolino. Book early you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy.
Amazing location, informative class and delicious food and wine. Inspired me to go home and order a pasta machine!
WOW! We loved every second of the cooking class. The setting was beautiful, the class was fun, engaging and informative and the food was delicious The wine tasting at the end was a lovely touch We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you so much
Beautiful surroundings. Chef was wonderful, patient, and full of good tips! Were able to eat pasta we made and with a little help from chef had an incredible meal! Wine tasting included which was a nice touch.
What a fabulous day, this was the last day of our holiday and I can't think of a better experience to sum up our whole holiday, Stefan was a lovely host and Marco was a great tutor, we learnt such a lot, his simple and easy to follow instructions took all the mystery out of pasta making both strand and filled and I now know what to look for in a good recipe. We only got back home on Saturday and I have already (Tuesday) made fresh pasta with asparagus and a focaccia. The location is beautiful and peaceful the local wines are superb and we wish we could have brought some home with us. Thank you so much for such a great experience, this and our trip to Italy have really left us feeling inspired to cook better Italian food at home
This was one of our favourite experiences from our trip to Italy, it was so interesting to learn all about the history of the pasta to make it by hand and then have it prepared and served to us as the most delicious meal! The wine from the family vineyard was also beautiful. We had a young toddler with us and were apprehensive but the staff and hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating! Not to forget the absolutely stunning backdrop of the olive and vineyards, our son loved playing with the farms chickens! Highly recommend!
My mom and I really enjoyed this pasta making class during our trip to Lake Garda! Marco is a wonderful teacher and the class was both very informative and fun. The pasta turned out great and the wines were lovely. The venue itself is beautiful too. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip! Highly recommend!
A brilliant time making pasta, eating the pasta and tasting wine from the vineyard . Very well done from a patient lovely professional chef. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this experience in a beautiful setting.
Marco and his brother were very friendly, welcoming, made us feel like extended family. His instruction and class was so enjoyable, informative. We thoroughly enjoyed learning how to make pasta, enjoy eating it and of course tasting The delicious wines of LaRocca. An experience that will not be forgotten and is a must for everyone!! Thank you Marco and LaRocca!!
Was taken away by the venue, beautiful surroundings in the hills above Bardolino, we took a taxi from Bardolino centre it cost about 15 euros. The demonstration area was spotless and well laid out, Marco was an excellent teacher, explained everything slowly and clearly and helped when he needed to. He was calm and charming. Eating the pasta that we made after Marco had added a few sauces was lovely. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time pasta making. Marco was a great teacher and made us all feel very comfortable. Great food and wine!
Loved every minute and had such a great experience. Beautiful environment and would highly recommend.
What an amazing experience - would definitely recommend. Marco was a fabulous instructor, we made two types of pasta including ravioli and then had three delicious plates of pasta for late lunch. This was accompanied by lovely wine.
A wonderful experience shared with family. Marco is an excellent host and his gentle encouragement was inspiring. Thanks to all the team for making it a great pasta making experience
Had a lovely time at La Rocca learning to make fresh pasta with Chef Marco. He was engaging, funny and very knowledgeable. Eating the finished product was a joy with the wines paired to match. Would highly recommend!!
Really fun experience learning to make pasta with Chef Marco with family. The views, location, pasta and wine tasting were all excellent!
Marco was an excellent instructor, providing creative options and a passion for food. The venue was beautiful and local wine topped off a great experience.
We had a marvelous and really exciting time to learn how to make pasta! Our chef and teacher Marco gave us some really nice tips about making different kind of pasta. After pasta making we had very munificent pasta lunch with excellent wines from the winery. I highly recommend the experience! 👊
The pasta making class with chef Marco was great! He was really kind and patient and obviously an expert at both making and cooking pasta. The atmosphere was very relaxed and all tools and euipment needed were both readily available and prestinely clean. Having made three different tyoes of patsa, Marco cooked them and served them with a different sauce and wine produced in their own vineyaerd, which was also excellent. I would highly recommend this experience.
What a great all around deal! Alot cooler than I expected. The staff was professional and a pleasure to be around. Would highly recommend.
Great fun, Marco was great with his instructions and we all had a wonderful experience. The high light of our short trip to Italy.
On the 24th of October we did the cooking class with our family. It was a wonderful experience. The family running the agriturismo was very hospitable, nothing was rushed and after making the pasta we had a very nice pasta tasting. Learning how to make the pasta was a lot of fun. If you’re looking for something active, fun and if you want to learn something I would definitely recommend the cooking class.
Marco is a passionate chef; every movement shows that he practices his profession with love. Thank you for 4 great hours.
Fun course, delicious food and delicious wines that could be tasted unlimited with food.
It was nice to get to know that for once, from A to Z a perfect event. The boss does it himself and explains everything great. You can taste the result, mega delicious !!!!!
Great pasta course with lots of theory and practical learning. We learned a lot of techniques and tricks that can be taken home and built on. A truly inspiring course that can be recommended to tourists and food enthusiasts.
Engaging experience in a welcoming and super-equipped location. Excellent activity both for those who already know a bit about the world of fresh pasta and for those who know nothing. During the morning we prepared, guided by the chef, different types of pasta, which were then cooked and served for lunch. The chef was super helpful. Excellent experience to discover the tricks of the trade!
We were there with our 9-month-old baby, and everything went super well. She could sleep in the carrier, it was very personal and super organized, away from the hustle and bustle on a beautiful farm. The chef explained everything very clearly and took time for each couple. Overall, a super great event that was worth every euro.
Bring a good appetite! There is a lot of homemade food to enjoy, but it all makes for a lot of fun.
A great pasta cooking class and an all-around wonderful experience! The instructor was very friendly, patiently addressed all questions, and explained the individual steps clearly. This way, you can also easily recreate the dishes at home. Especially positive was that he speaks very good English and also good German. The facilities are modern, very clean, and well-maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The available parking options are also a plus. We had a lot of fun, learned a lot, and can wholeheartedly recommend this course!
Very excellent course in a great ambience, small group and relaxed atmosphere. Here you will learn from a very sympathetic professional how to make a fantastic pasta with the simplest means and which mistakes you should absolutely avoid. The course has enriched our holiday very much and is highly recommended.
A great experience for us as a family, where we learned a lot - with a very delicious end result at Agriturismo La Rocca. Marco passes on his knowledge with a lot of enthusiasm and expertise and amore.
This pasta course is very worthwhile. You learn a lot about making the pasta and this course is taught with a lot of love. Also the location is really nice.
It was a great experience! We would repeat it anytime! Great instruction, great food, perfect wines and great instructor!!
We really liked the pasta course with Marco. Marco imparted much of his knowledge and accompanied us perfectly throughout the course. The highlight was of course to eat the pasta together at the end. We can only warmly recommend it to anyone.
Never made fresh pasta before, but Marco showed how easy it actually is. Top afternoon had in a nice agriturismo in the hills.
Marco the chef, led the course very funny and with passion. He has always given you nice tips that make cooking easier and make the pasta taste better. It was a great time!
Fabulous experience. The place is magical, Marco and Stefano were wonderful. The wines offered by the house are delicious, the food even more so. Super recommended experience to disconnect a day with your head. Congratulations, keep it up!
Top! A really good course with lots of great tips. It was really fun and the location is perfect.
This pasta course is an excellent experience! Marco is an excellent cook who knows how to pass on the passion of cooking to people. It was easy to understand what you have to do to cook the perfect pasta. We prepared ravioli and tagliatelle, which Marco then refined deliciously in his kitchen with a simple sauce to highlight the taste of the fresh pasta. The course takes place at a beautiful winery/agriturismo. Definitely a Recommendation for anyone who likes cooking (no matter what expertise)!
Beautiful experience!! We did a level Italian cooking class! I think it defines the best way of “la vita bella” Italian.. rich food, delicious wine; and laughter/company and super people!! I recommend doing something different on Lake Garda. We buy to take own production wines and olive oil .. to take gift and obviously also for my house. Thank you Ottolini family, I hope you can visit them again! Arrivederci 👩🏻🍳👩🏻🍳👩🏻🍳👩🏻🍳👩🏻🍳👩🏻🍳
We attended the fresh pasta course in a crazy and really well-kept location, surrounded by greenery and accompanied by the singing of cicadas. We experimented with various types of pasta, both long and stuffed, classic and colorful. It was a satisfaction to prepare fresh pasta with their own hands and then eat it all together, all while tasting good wine of their production. An experience absolutely to do!!!!
We had a great time getting our hands in the dough!! Marco was super helpful and very professional! Beautiful experience in a place nothing short of beautiful, surrounded by greenery and a stone's throw from Lake Garda.
An experience to try, the very prepared cook made us put “hands in dough” in a very fun way, with a very pleasant temperature and a breathtaking view of the lake. The farm is really very nice surrounded by greenery, breezy, but with the lake within walking distance. Even for us who have never cooked it was just pleasant. If you are in the area you can not pass and try too... Pasta and Lake Garda 🇮🇹 what else
Beautiful experience, we did the Fresh pasta and tasted on site with super top sauces, we were followed and pampered by Marco in the operational phases , and by Stefano Vignaiolo doc! Good idea for a relaxing afternoon in your farm.
Putting your hands in pasta guided by a very prepared and professional chef was a beautiful and fun experience: it felt like being at Masterchef. In addition, the location immersed in the vineyards of the hills of Bardolino and the excellent wines of their production have helped to make the day extremely enjoyable. Definitely to recommend.
