A wonderful experience!

Andrea was amazing. So sweet and patient. Unfortunately, his wife was in the hospital and unable to join us. But his dog and a seagull outside the window made for a fun group. We learned so much and really enjoyed ourselves.

We were welcomed into the home of our guides to learn to make pasta and sauces. We got some great techniques on how to make the pasta that you only get from someone who has done it before. This may have been the best pasta we had in Rome!
