This was one of the best experiences I have had in Italy. From the moment we arrived Virginia and her family welcomed us like old friends. She is warm, funny and patient, and makes learning to cook pasta feel easy and fun even for beginners.

We rolled out fresh tagliatelle and ravioli completely from scratch with flour on our hands and a glass of local wine always nearby. The kitchen was full of laughter, the smell of pasta, and a couple of friendly cats wandering in to say hello. After cooking we sat down to a meal that could rival any restaurant. Homemade pasta, local wine, and tiramisu to finish made it unforgettable.

The setting makes it even more special. The medieval village is peaceful and the countryside views are stunning. You do not just eat great food, you feel part of the family for the day.

If you are near Parma this is an absolute must. I will be talking about this experience and showing off the photos for a long time.

The best cooking experience in Parma!
Me and my family had the most memorable time with Virginia and her mother at the Calestano house. We were received with such sympathy and care. The entire class was conducted with a lot of professionalism and quality. We learnt a lot about making pasta and had the chance to taste this pasta with lots of aditional home made delicacies. The peaceful setting in the rooftop overlooking the houses of this medievel vilage is absolutly unique.
Thank you Virginia for such magical moments!

Virginia’s pasta cooking glass is a great experience in a wonderful surroundings of the mountain village Calestano. Her roof terrace has great views on the village and mountains. There we had an aperitif, delicious starters from Emilia Romagna, the self-prepared pasta (Ravioli with ricotta-truffle filling and tagliatelle) and house made tiramisu. We took home 2 additional bottles of the Sangiovese red wine Virginia served along side the dinner. The pasta making itself was much fun, she was really striving and working hard for us learning how to do it. So we got a lot of insight and special hints. Overall a great evening finished by a walk we did on our own in the very picturesque Calestano Centro Storico at Night. Highly recommend event.

Really a good experience trying out making pasta! My boyfriend and I were on vacation and we wanted to do something different than the regular parmigiano reggiano tours and Virginia and her mom does a good job making these cooking classes. They are so welcoming and helpful! and really patient. I would definitely recommend doing this if you are going around Parma or in this area.
Make sure to come without a full stomach.
Thanks Virginia,
Sofie

Wonderful experience.  Virginia and her mother were welcoming and very kind.  She is a great teacher and made us feel comfortable  in her home.  After making the pasta, she and her mother prepared the meal for us, seating us on their patio, and serving us wine and dessert.  I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun adventure.
