“Absolutely top course with a host (with family) who was both pleasant, welcoming and knowledgeable. Cooked, and showed us how, wonderfully good food. It was very nice to come home to the host's home and take part in traditional pasta making. It was a very nice evening before the food that was prepared was served to us. We were in a party of 10, but were very professionally looked after. Recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻”
