A great day in Padova

We had an amazing time with Catia. We started with a tour of the city center while shopping for some vegetables and bread which took three tries because bakeries were closed for holiday. She then drove us to her house where we made tiramisu and two types of pasta dough before enjoying a delectable lunch al fresco. Don’t plan other activities too close to this one, we went well over the estimated 4 hours and loved every minute.

A Wonderful Italian Cooking Experience with Catia!

We had such a wonderful experience at Catia’s cooking class! The atmosphere was incredibly warm and welcoming, in a great location, and the food was absolutely amazing. Catia is truly passionate about Italian cooking, and her enthusiasm makes the whole experience even more special. We especially loved making our own fresh pasta and ravioli from scratch — so much fun and very rewarding! It was a fantastic experience to share as a family, and we all had a great time. Highly recommended!

The best food made in Italy!

Catia is the best! I had the best time I could wish for in Padova with her and the explanation, the food, the treatment, well everything was just so amazing. The best food I have eaten in Italy and I’m here for two weeks. It was truly an unforgettable experience. I recommend everyone to go to Catia’s cooking class in Padova!

The best cooking experience ever

Honestly a must do experience if you are in Italy. We started with a tour of Padova and its history. Then we went to Catia’s home to cook. Catia is an amazing teach and amazing cook. The experience was one of a kind and I hope to come back and do it again soon!

Great family experience

Katia was amazing, she made my 13 yr old daughter feel right at home as we made a proper Italian grandmother kind of meal! Don’t eat before nor after!
