What guests say
Micaela is everything you want in a host! 🤗 Warm, engaging, and perfectly prepared. It was the second time I joined one of her workshops, and both times were so lovely. Interesting dishes, learning something new, but without the pressure of specific skills needed. Both for an enjoyable time with loved ones, as well as a team building activity, I can warmly recommend you book your spot 🍝 ✅

We had such a fantastic experience! We reached out very last minute for a team-building event, and Micaela went above and beyond to make it happen. The Italian cooking class was not only fun and engaging, but also incredibly well organized. Our team left with full stomachs, lots of laughs, and new cooking skills to share at home. We are so grateful for accommodating us on short notice. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and memorable group activity!

We had an absolutely fantastic time at this pasta workshop for our team-building activity! Micaela and her colleague were outstanding hostesses – so warm, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Micaela made everyone feel comfortable and created such a lovely atmosphere throughout the experience. Everything was impeccably prepared and organized, which allowed us to focus on learning and enjoying ourselves. The sauces were absolutely delicious – truly restaurant-quality! Micaela’s explanations were clear and easy to follow, making the pasta-making process accessible even for complete beginners in our group.This was the perfect team-building activity. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a fun, engaging group activity or simply wanting to learn the art of pasta making.Thank you, Micaela, for such a memorable experience!
