What a fantastic time spent at Christina and Enzo’s beautiful home in central city Parma. The instructions were clear, the food was authentic and delicious and it was the highlight of my few days in Parma! I highly recommend this, no matter your level of cooking. I will definitely go back!

My wife and my parents signed up for this not knowing what to expect. We were so happy we did. Paola was a fantastic host and we had a great time making pasta and famous Parma dishes. Her husband Mario joined us for dinner and we had a lovely time speaking to them about Italy and the world during dinner. Mario even drove us back to our hotel when we were concerned about finding a taxi. A highlight of our trip to Italy, it was really everything we were hoping for. Thanks Paola and Mario!!!
