Influenced by a friend, we wanted to do a pasta making course in Italy - and we loved the one by Towns of Italy! We were around 15-20 minutes early and waited in the lounge area while the other guests arrived. Then our cook Federico called us into the amazing kitchen, where every place already had a little flour on the table. He explained details of the dough making progress, did rounds and helped participants with their dough. For me, the pace was perfect, not too slow, not too fast. In the end we all sat together at the big table to eat our freshly made pasta and gelato for dessert and to chat with other participants. I would highly recommend the course!!!
