“This cooking class was amazing! Patrizia welcomed us into her home, which was beautiful. She was as accommodating as she could be with our daughter having celiac. The tour company did not tell her until the last minute which was through no fault of her own. Everything was awesome. She had wine for us, appetizers. I think the tiramisu was my favorite. It was private, just the four of us and I think that made it even more special. Thank you again! :)”
