This was such a fun and educational experience. We learned how to make the pasta, risotto and tiramisu the authentic Italian way! It all turned out so delicious and we were able to get access to the recipes too. Our wonderful chef was friendly and helpful when we fumbled. Great time meeting fellow travelers too. Highly recommend!
This was so much fun! Alessandro was an excellent teacher - his instructions were clear and he patiently helped those that needed it. Everyone in the class appeared to have a great time and we had fun chatting between cooking. Thank you!
Very good course, chef Alessandro was great
Very good value for money! Chef Allesandro made sure we had a great experience!
Fantastic 3 hours spent learning how to make risotto, pasta in cacio e pepe and tiramisu! As always, these classes are the best way to spend an afternoon!!
The experience was great! Alesandro & Filipo made the workshop very fun and informing. Very nice to make the food, enjoy it together with some wine and good company.
Fabulous experience. Loved the recipes and excited to do them at home
What an absolutely fantastic experience! If you’re visiting Verona, I would highly recommend booking this cooking class — it was one of the highlights of our trip. We had so much fun learning how to make authentic Italian pasta and tiramisu from scratch. The whole experience was relaxed, friendly and incredibly enjoyable. We were guided through everything step by step, with plenty of tips, laughs and, of course, lots of tasting along the way! Making the pasta ourselves was a real highlight, but the tiramisu was something else — learning how to make it properly in Italy and then getting to enjoy the finished result was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was brilliant, and the instructors were knowledgeable, welcoming and passionate about Italian food. It didn’t feel like simply a cooking lesson; it felt like spending time with people who genuinely love sharing their food and culture. We left with full stomachs, new cooking skills and some fantastic memories of Verona. 🇮🇹❤️
Alberto was a fantastic teacher, and guided us through an evening of cooking delicious food. I thoroughly recommend the experience, and hope future pupils have the pleasure to be taught by Alberto!
Chefs were knowledgeable and friendly. Beautiful cooking school set up. Maximum of 12 participants. Gluten free friendly. Learned how and why we made the dishes the way we did. I wish we had the recipes in advance so we could make notes. The standard recipe varied slightly from what our chefs taught us. I would It follow their gelato recommendations. Their tip recommendation (Zeno) was awful. They would stick to cooking and not making Verona recommendations.
Alberto was outstanding, patient and engaging
It was a great experience for me to share with my daughter. We had the best time! Alberto and Alessandro were so patient with us, and we had a great lunch after.
Amazing experience and great food
All 6 of our group who participated in this event absolutely loved it. It was one of the highlights of our trip. The pasta and risotto turned out so well. And the tiramisu blew us away.
Excellent experience from start to finish. Alessandro and Phillipo were super knowledgeable and very entertaining, and everything was delicious. 10/10
The best experience ever!!!!! Book this cooking class! You will not regret it!
Very fun course, the chef explaining everything with inside knowledge!
Great morning, kitchen and chef really great, learnt lots, very relaxed atmosphere and very nice food
As a solo traveler, this was a great activity to meet other travelers, have fun and learn something new!
Very enjoyable experience. The chef was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The food was delicious. Everyone had a great time.
We had a couple of great chefs teaching a small group Italian cooking in Verona. They communicated well., taught patiently, made sure each was involved, and gave tips and tricks for success along the way. We made delicious food and had fun doing. I’d definitely do it again.
The morning session is great. Excellent chef and teacher. Made a pasta, risoto and a taramasu. Along with some wine. Lasted about 3 1/2 hours. Worth the price.
Our family of four had a great time at this cooking school as part of a couple days in Verona. Given the focus of any trip to Italy on food (and wine), a short cooking lesson such as this is a great way to learn more about some of the key aspects of Italian cuisine. The session covered homemade pasta (most of our time was spent making the noodles from scratch), risotto, and tiramisu. Our instructor, Alessandro, was great and provided all instructions and background information with great clarity. The kitchen/studio was in the main downtown/old town area and a short walk from our hotel. Everything was very well-organized and convenient.
It was a great course, well explained, and a lot of fun. The food was good and one got recipes of all cooked dishes.
A great, small group cooking experience. Umberto was fantastic, very informative and patient with us who have never cooked pasta before. We were able to eat everything we made and it was all amazing
Fantastic experience. Sylvia was an excellent teacher, the facilities were superb and the menu perfect. Would highly recommend.
I chose this class because it covered pasta making, risotto and tiramisu. Alberto was our instructor. I think my family has decided to adopt him should he ever move to America. He is super knowledgeable about Italian regions and ingredients and an absolute wizard of a chef. He turns such simple ingredients into culinary perfection. Our group was two 19 year olds, their parents and grandpa. Everyone arrived with different skill levels in the kitchen and even the most novice among us could follow Alberto’s instructions. The tiramisu was delicious and not too hard to make. This was my first time making pasta and it was so easy. I have made a lot of risotto but I learned so much in this class that I am certain I can up my game back home. 10/10 I would absolutely recommend!
Silvia was AMAZING She gave us a one of a kind experience! She was super hospitable and a great teacher. She sent us with several recommendations around Verona, Venice, and bologna! You get sent away with the recipes plus some and Silvia gives great tips and tricks to use. Thank you Silvia!
This cooking class was a great experience! Loved learning about the traditions and enjoyed a great meal!
I had a one on experience. Sylvia was fantastic, organized, professional and much enjoyed .we made Amerone risotto, tirimasu and pasta with a tomato based sauce. I have been to quite a few over the years and I learnt a lot, and tasting all the finished products was delicious !
The facility is exceptionally clean and well suited to small group classes. Laura and Sylvia were outstanding instructors and they cultivated such a warm and engaging environment. We enjoyed it so much that I wouldn’t hesitate doing the same class on our next trip. Great experience!
Good value. Lots of fun! Great food. Learnt a lot! Wonderful chef and assistant. Sylvia is amazing with her knowledge and a good sense of humour
Wonderful 3 hours spent learning new recipes . Very glad I joined the tour . The lunch the group created was wonderful .
Simply lovely, we learned very much, outcome was super delicious. Teacher where great and gave really god advice how different local traditions are.
Well organised, friendly and knowledgeable chefs We had excellent morning and eating the fruits of labour was a taste experice
We initially wanted to book for tuesday but was fully booked so we choose wednesday. Our payment failed because we were abit slow on transferring money to the right account, when Viator later tried to charge it was succesful. However they then changed our booking from wednesday to tuesday. We spoke with Viator because we didnt show up on tuesday because we were 100% sure our booking was for Wednesday. Viator confirms that we had 2 reservations one for Wednesday and one for tuesday. How is that even possible…If there hasnt been any mistake on their site. We are now in a position where we didn’t go to the cooking class that we had looked forward to. It was a birthday present for my mom that turns 60 and now we are minus 500 euros and no cooking class. Worst possible outcome. Viator also confirms that there has been a mistake at their website but we will receive no refund…. This is a complete joke and I would rekommend everyone to stay away from Viator. We are so disappointed…
Great 3-1/2 hr experience with the chefs. We made pasta by hand cut, the best mushroom risotto, and tiramisu. The unique techniques learned are life changing. I highly recommend this class. And you get to eat it all!!
This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The chefs are so knowledgeable and helpful. Learned a lot about Italian cooking in a fun, relaxed environment. The food was delicious. Highly recommend.
The food was delicious. And Cristina the chef was so lovely and taught us a lot about (italian) food, history and preparation. I loved it!
Christina was a great instructor, wonderful experience. The food was very delicious, would definitely recommend to anyone.
A wonderful way to spend the day, great family time, learning new skills and meeting new people. Christina and Laura were very engaging and knowledgable and the food tasted amazing!
Wonderful class great other people. Christine was patient and fun. I learnt alot and really enjoyed myself. It was a super way to spend time meet others and enjoy food.
Very enjoyable morning. The activity was well organised and prepared for starting with a cup of coffee and an outline of the morning. We started with preparing the eggs for the tiramisu and understanding how to best create this tasty dessert. Also made fresh pasta and risotto. All the dishes were super delicious and our teacher explained everything really clearly and answered all our questions. If she could see we were finding something hard, like rolling the pasta sheets, she would help guide us. I totally recommend this activity for all foodies.
Top notch cookery lesson with a fabulous teacher. Laura spoke excellent English and was really thorough in all her instructions and explanations. She managed to oversee 11 of us really well, correcting any mistakes we made as we went along. A lovely lady called Alba tidied up in the background the whole while. The food was delicious and my daughter and I have every intention of trying to recreate it at home. I would recommend this to anyone with an interest in Italian food and cooking. Excellent fun.
My mother and I had an absolutely fantastic and wonderful time. We cannot recommend this highly enough. Our teacher was wonderful, her English was fantastic and easy to understand. She had so much knowledge to share and she was patient with us - even when we just couldn’t quite get the soft dough that was needed for the pasta ;) The food was delicious. You get a take home apron (light to carry in your suitcase) and you just scan the QR code for the recipes - more recipes in there then what you made. Thank you!
My husband and I signed up for this class while we were in Verona, we are so glad we did! Silvia the chef was wonderful; fun and patient. She has a very good way of making sure everyone in the class was included in the instructions. She made sure to tell everyone that the way she teaches may be different from someone else, but that's okay, since everyone has different styles and different Nonnas they learned from. We highly recommend this class, you will learn so much and be inspired to use what you learn at home, I know we are. Take this class, you won't regret it. Grazie Mille Silvia from, Jeff & Yvonne (CA)
Easy to meet up, fun and authentic experience. Made some great food, too! Highly recommend to any traveler.
This was an absolutely amazing cooking class, we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Laura was brilliant, incredibly friendly, took her time and made sure that we were really hands on rather than just demonstrating to us. The recipes we made were delicious and the extra dishes included in the cook book are a bonus.
Fantastic Italian homemade pasta and tiramisú cooking class in Verona. Cristina, our chef and instructor, really knows how to teach this class in a way that makes the student learn easily while having fun. Sylvia was fantastic help and a great host. Thank you both for allowing my wife and I to have such a great time!!
