Make Authentic Italian Pasta Yourself in Centro Storico Nord, Brescia

Summary: We had a wonderful experience and gained a lot of confidence to be able to make pasta and tiramisu on our own when we get home. Elena and her husband were amazing and the best part was sharing the meal with them and trading stories and laughs. Their apartment was so comfortable and the company was the best!

Summary: We absolutely loved Elena’s cooking class! From the very first moment, the atmosphere was warm, friendly, and truly family-like. Elena is not only an amazing cook but also a wonderful host who makes everyone feel welcome and at ease. The recipes were authentic, the ingredients fresh, and the whole experience felt like being part of an Italian family for a day. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and enjoyed every single bite. Highly recommended to anyone who wants an authentic and heartwarming Italian cooking experience!

Summary: We had the most wonderful experience, joining Elena for two cooking classes. All preparations had been done including a recipe booklet to take home. According to traditional Italian recipes we made the most tasty bites and had so much fun while making them. She can do magic with the most simple, delicious (organic!) ingredients and takes her time to answer any questions you may have. Her husband joining for lunch being most interested and offering some valuable tips for sightseeing made this experience so much more than ‘just’ a cooking class, it felt like becoming friends with the locals. Thank you so much, Elena and Curzio. We would highly recommend Elena’s cooking class when around Iseo!

Summary: We loved Elena’s pasta cooking course! The dishes we prepared were delicious and Elena’s expertise and passion made the experience both educational and fun to follow. Elena and her husband welcomed us to their beautiful home so warmly that we felt like visiting friends. Everything ran smoothly and we never felt rushed. I can highly recommend this course to anyone looking for an authentic cooking experience in Iseo!

Summary: My sister and I took part in this class and we had the best time ever. When we arrived we were greeted by Elena’s dog, Elena herself and her husband. She showed us to her wonderful kitchen. There we met the other two people who took this class with us. They were also very kind. Elena had already prepared everything to its smallest detail. Everything was very clean and we felt immediately at ease. She explained before hand which dishes we would make and also told us we’d get the recipes afterwards so we didn’t have to worry at all about writing down anything. She also explained everything with a lot of detail, regarding consistency of the dough and more helpful knowledge about the food. She was happy to answer all our questions and always helped immediately. Her husband was a helping hand with taking pictures which was also amazing, we loved them! The food was soooooo delicious and the conversation at the table flowed easily. We loved this class and would recommend it to anyone! Elena is a very authentic person and her husband as well. We loved the music played in the background while eating and all the recommendations they gave us for wine and food. Elena’s cozy kitchen is indeed very cozy and their living/dining room has so much detail and love in it. Afterwards we said: “ It was like in a movie”. Thank you to Elena for being so professional but also kind and open. This was our favorite experience of our entire vacation here in Italy.

Summary: Elena's pasta cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. She is an excellent teacher who has a passion for sharing her knowledge of Italian cooking. It was a great experience to be in her home and learn her techniques from all her experiences. We learned things you won't find in a cookbook or video and had a fun time. After making the dishes, we sat down with her for lunch. The pastas and tiramisu we made were amazing. The pesto sauce was the best we ever had. She was very organized and answered all our questions. We appreciated the small class size which was just the two of us and another woman. Her husband took and shared photos so we didn't need to during the class. We arrived by car and you can't drive or park on her street. But we found a public validated parking lot several blocks away.

Summary: Perfect day! I had booked the class as a surprise birthday gift for my partner, and it exceeded all of my expectations. When we arrived to the building, we were greeted by Leo, Elena's friendly and adorable dog in the stairs who lead us to Elena's beautiful home. We were so warmly greeted by Elena and her husband that it felt like coming to a friends home. We cooked two types of pasta and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was prepped and all ingredients fresh and tasty. Elena was an excellent teacher and we got some valuable tips in how to prepare the pasta dough that we didn't know before. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the cooking fun! After cooking we were joined by Elena's husband for lunch. The food and wine was excellent and we especially enjoyed the pasta alla chitarra with a delicious tomato-rucola sauce, best pasta dish we had on our holiday! The mood and conversations were so lovely that it didn't feel like we had just met. It was a very special and real experience for us that we will remember for a long time to come. Thank you, grazie mille!

Summary: My daughters (age 11 and 12) and I had a wonderful morning learning to make pasta, sauces and tiramisu with Elena. She and her family were very welcoming and friendly, and we really enjoyed sitting down in their lovely home with them to enjoy eating what we’d made for lunch.

Summary: We had such a great time at the pasta cooking workshop! It was a really fun experience, small-scale and personal, which made it extra enjoyable. The host was very welcoming. After the cooking, we had a lovely and cozy lunch together, joined by her husband, which made it even more special. Definitely a recommendation!

Summary: My husband and I had a fantastic experience taking Elena’s Italian cooking class. We were warmly welcomed into Elena and her husband’s home, where we made two types of pasta and tiramisu from scratch. It was just the two of us and Elena in the kitchen. Elena was a wonderful teacher, and we shared a lot of laughter. My husband and I picked up some valuable tips on how to make great pasta dough—much better than our earlier attempts! The class ended with a lovely lunch, where we enjoyed the dishes we had prepared, along with a glass of wine. I couldn’t recommend this more if you’re passing through Iseo! It was a truly memorable experience.
