Lake Garda: Cooking Class at a Local's Home

We drive to our host’s house and parked 2 mins walk away. It was easy to find and our host, Ada, was ready to greet us at the door. Her home was beautiful and it felt like a real treat to be inside a real Italian home. We made Tiramisu first and then the pasta. We all loved making the pasta especially and I know that we will definitely be doing this when we get home. It was so enjoyable to do this kind of activity with an older teenager and I would thoroughly recommend it as a family activity. Ada was very patient and a wonderful instructor so we all felt like we would be able to re create this meal again. Of course the best part of the evening was eating what we had cooked! Absolutely delicious ! I would definitely do this kind of activity again

Could not recommend high enough, incredible experience. I’ve been lucky enough to visit over 25 countries in my life and done countless of tours and experiences in my life, I can honestly say this was the best travel experience I have ever had in my life. Mario was so warm and welcoming throughout the whole time and made us feel like we are truly part of the family. She helped explain all the cooking steps and by the end I can confidently say I could make homemade pasta. The pesto pasta and taramisu were some of the best foods I have ever eaten. If you do anything when visiting Desenzano book this tour.

Unsere perfekte Gastgeberin war Mariolina. Es war sehr nett, spannend, lehrreich und lustig. Wir haben uns bei ihr superwoman gefühlt. Ein bisschen wie bei „Mama“ und Freundin. Sie hat unsere Geschmackswünsche berücksichtigt und zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit umgesetzt. Da es sehr Hochpreisig (es verdienen ja mehrere mit) werden wir es uns so schnell nicht wieder leisten können. Aber es war uns wert. Es wird uns lange in Erinnerung bleiben und gleich nächste Woche nachgelockt. Vielen Dank an Mariolina!😘🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Amazing! Ada was the perfect host, welcoming, friendly, knowledgable and so informative about the dishes we cooked. The class was the perfect length, we made two pasta dishes and a tiramisu and didn't feel rushed at all. Still had plenty of time to learn the recipes, try them out ourselves and have a lovely dinner at the end. I couldn't recommend this enough, Ada made the whole experience so enjoyable and memorable. The local liqueur's at the end of the meal were a lovely personal touch and we really enjoyed learning about the local cuisine.
