Learned a lot and had a terrific time.
lisalennard, Jan 2025
Chef David was a wonderful host. When we arrived there was a lovely array of welcome snacks & prosecco. David taught us to make gnocchi and tiramisu. The meal was delicious. We had a terrific time and would recommend this experience.
David’s Padova history experience!
Dennis_F, Sept 2024
David prepared a pasta dish I had never heard or seen before it was fabulous! We had dinner with his mom and it’s was fun and multi tasty. His home made tiramisu was to die for! He offered two kinds of grappa after dinner…wow! This is a very “throw-back” Padova experience if you are into history of family dining!
Delicious lunch with your new Italian friend at his house

Simone was amazing. He welcomed me into his home and proceed to show me how to prepare an awesome meal. We had appetizers, bread sticks, bruschetta, panzella. Shared some cava. He demonstrated multiple pasta types and I got to sample them all, and they were all delicious. The spinach ricotta tortellini was my favorite with the alfredo being a close second. When it got time for the main course with eggplant and chicken I was so full I did not eat very much. It was wonderful but I over enjoyed the wonderful pasta.
Amazing and immersive Italian cooking experience with Catia!

We had the most amazing Italian cooking experience with Catia! She welcomed us into her cozy home and shared her cooking skill, delicious recipes and fascinating stories about the recipes, the region, and her life as an Italian. Catia is so fun and interesting and skilled! And the food…. molto delizioso e bello!
