Share your Pasta Love: Small group Pasta and Tiramisu class - Bassano del Grappa

Gabriella and Arturo where our hosts. We had an amazing experience making ravioli and Tiramisu in their beautiful home. We would highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting Treviso.

A little anxious at first that, when advised the address in the countryside, I wouldn’t be able to make it on public transport but I needn’t have worried. To my relief and gratitude, Gabriella’s daughter very kindly met me and returned me to the local station. The experience was all I could have hoped for and much more, ideally suiting my passion for all things Italian but especially food, drink and convivial conversation with the most welcoming family - chief cook Gabriella, her champion (really!) pipe-smoking husband and supportive daughter Elisabetta. I could not have wished for more congenial hosts who welcomed me to their home, a smallholding in campagna with free ranging chickens and large light kitchen with plenty of work space. Although Elisabetta spoke English I was more than happy to speak Italian which I think was appreciated by Gabriella as she carefully explained each step and tips for making the authentic recipes. I had a wonderful day – with the time time we had made fresh pasta, a red radicchio and ricotta stuffed ravioli and tagliatelle with artichoke sauce followed by the most delicious tiramisu, feeling satisfied with what I’d achieved and with the especial pleasure for me as a solo traveller missing out on New Years Eve Cenone, of sitting down together in convivial company to enjoy the fruits of our labour – well I had kneaded the pasta! An excellent experience and highly recommended, thank you.
