"This is one of our favorite memories from our time in Venice. It felt like eating dinner with family....we were grateful to have such a unique Venetian experience."
"... PERFECT class and the perfect host for us...her cooking skills and friendly personality made my guests and I feel so comfortable and at ease...one of the most beautiful villas I have ever seen. The view oh my gosh breathtaking..."

"Annamaria was the perfect host and teacher...gave us one of the best meals we’ve had since arriving a week ago. The only thing better than the food and her teaching was her personality..."
"...she was extremely welcoming, kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about cooking. This was by far my favorite thing I did in Italy...I can’t recommend this experience enough, it is a must do!"
