• 5Well worth the cost!

  The host is a very gracious person in addition to being an excellent cook and patient instructor. Of course the food was delicious, however, and more importantly, we got a real sense of how Italians live. We highly recommend this experience.

• 4Great Food & Fantastic Host

  We had a very enjoyable experience learning how to make pasta & tiramisu with Cristina. We appreciated her sharing her family recipes with us. A special bonus was sitting down to the delicious meal with Cristina & her husband, Enzo. We felt like family!!

• 5A great experience. Chef...

  A great experience. Chef took care of our allergies really well, and was great with our 9 year old. She helped us cook up a delicious meal. One heads up is that the location is a little outside of the center, so plan accordingly if you don't have a car. Would definitely recommend.

• 2Nice people, but not worth the $$

  The host in Parma was very nice and all, but now I realize I was basically scammed. We made one simple pasta and one dessert (tiramisu). The aperitif consisted of the cheapest half bottle of wine, a small bowl of planters peanuts and corn chips cracked up into pieces and when I asked what it was she said, “Masa”. I almost laughed. It was corn Tostitos cracked up in a bowl. It was nice time visiting, but the cost for two people was a joke. It was worth maybe $25 per person,maximum. The reason I say scammed is because my wife and I just did a 9 hour wine tour which was awesome for the same cost.

• 5Wow...just wow!

  Wow! What a memorable experience. Our cooking class with Mauro and his wife Natalia was spendido! We really did not know what to expect, but it certainly exceeded whatever expectations we could have had. Mauro and Natalia are delightful, have lots of energy, and made us feel truly like family. The meal we prepared was pretty good, too! lol. Seriously, this was a highlight of our 3-week adventure in northern Italy. We prepared and ate many courses of a delicious meal, getting to know each other during the relaxing evening. And we were fortunate to have toured Mauro's fascinating garden where he grows and nurtures all kinds of goodies that he uses in his cooking and drinking. This was an A+ activity, and we will look to do this again when we return to Italy. Thank you Mauro and Natalia!

• 5A most memorable and instructive evening in Parma

  This is as genuine experience as one could hope for. Cari’s and Augusto welcomed us into their home and the time together learning about local food and culture was tremendous. I highly recommend spending an evening with them.

About Parma

Parma, in Emilia-Romagna, is a refined food city of Romanesque and Renaissance buildings, famed for its ham and cheese and for opera.

Parma's cathedral and its pink-marble baptistery, begun by the sculptor Benedetto Antelami in the 1190s, stand side by side in the main piazza, and Correggio painted the swirling Assumption of the Virgin in the cathedral dome. The Palazzo della Pilotta, a vast Farnese palace, holds the National Gallery and the wooden Teatro Farnese. The Teatro Regio is one of Italy's respected opera houses, and Verdi and Toscanini both have strong ties to the city.
