Meet Michela

Michela’s passion for cooking is deeply rooted in her family heritage. Her grandmother, Laura, and mother, Bibi, lovingly involved their children and grandchildren in preparing fresh pasta, traditional main courses, and homemade desserts, passing down treasured family recipes through generations. Over the years, Michela refined her skills through cooking and pastry classes, blending authentic Italian traditions with creativity and experimentation. In her immersive cooking classes in Verona, guests can expect a warm and authentic culinary experience featuring handmade pasta, traditional techniques, and fresh local ingredients.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience: (2-10 guests) Join Michela in her welcoming apartment, located just steps from Verona’s historic center and Piazza Brà, for an authentic Italian cooking class featuring local Veronese ingredients. Your culinary experience begins with a small aperitif and a tasting of regional cheeses and cured meats. After discussing the menu, head to Michela’s home kitchen for your 2-hour hands-on cooking class in Verona. Learn how to make fresh homemade pasta from scratch, choosing between two pasta dishes and a dessert or three traditional pasta varieties. During the class, Michela shares family recipes, expert cooking tips, and traditional techniques for preparing authentic tagliatelle, ravioli, or potato gnocchi. After cooking, sit down together to enjoy the home-cooked Italian meal you helped prepare, perfectly paired with local Verona wine.

This immersive Verona food experience is perfect for travelers seeking an authentic introduction to Italian culture, traditional Italian cuisine, and hands-on pasta-making classes in Italy.

Market visit: (2-10 guests) Discover Verona’s culinary traditions with a guided tour of its historic food shops or a visit to a local farmers market. On Saturdays and Sundays, explore Mercato Filippini, a traditional Verona farmers market, where you’ll learn about the region’s local specialties, seasonal produce, and authentic Italian ingredients. Stroll through the market stalls while discovering the fresh fruits, vegetables, and artisanal products that are central to Veronese cuisine.

On other days, enjoy a walking tour of Verona’s historic food shops, where locals have shopped for generations. Visit a historic pastry shop, a traditional bakery, and a local wine bar while taking in the beautiful sights of Piazza delle Erbe along the way.

After your tour, head to Michela’s home, located just steps from Verona’s historic center, to enjoy a few appetizers before joining her in the kitchen for a hands-on pasta making class.

Notes: Michela can offer a vegetarian meal on request, if informed in advance.
