"Had the best time on a tour of Milan with Bella. We ate a lot and everything was so good, and learned a lot about the origins of foods in Milan, about Chinatown, and got some good tips for the rest of our stay. I had the Berlin tour two years ago and so happy I chose them again!"

Culinary Workshops
Not at all! Our workshops are designed for all skill levels, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced cook looking to explore Italian home cuisine.
We welcome participants of all ages and can adapt the experience to suit everyone, including making it more kid-friendly. If you’re attending with younger cooks, we’ll ensure the recipes and activities are engaging and fun for them, creating a memorable experience for the whole family.

This smaller group size creates a cozy, welcoming environment where everyone can actively participate and receive personal guidance throughout the cooking process. The intimate setting also encourages interaction among participants, making it a fun and social experience where you can share stories, learn together, and connect over a shared love of Italian cuisine.

Each workshop runs for approximately 4-5 hours, including hands-on cooking time and a relaxed meal where we enjoy the dishes we’ve prepared together.
