The most authentic experience I’ve ever had! Simonetta is a wonderfully informative host who makes you feel right at home and gets right to work at teaching you all of the authentic and organic techniques at making traditional Sardinian pasta. Several pastas! We toured her wine cellar and learned about her wines. And lastly we were treated to the most amazing lunch (and wine) - all organic and fresh. Delicious, amazing, and SO MUCH FUN!

Sehr leckeres Essen, tolle Anleitung zum eigenen Herstellen von Pasta. Das Ambiente rund um den Kochkurs, die Rezepte und die Betreuung waren sehr gut. Es ist wichtig genügend Zeit für die Anfahrt zu der Aktivität einzuplanen. Tolle Aktion.

What an amazing experience. Simonetta was such a wonderful host and teacher. She was very encouraging and fun to be around. We enjoyed how passionate she was about sharing her heritage and her love for making pasta and cooking food. We felt so welcome in her family’s village and beautiful house. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone with an interest in local pasta or traditions.

My husband and I thought it would be extra special to take a cooking class in Sardinia. The experience was unforgettable!Olbia: Sardinian Pasta Workshop, Wine Tasting, & Local Meal. Our Hostess welcomed us to her home with open arms and all the Sardinian warmth we have come to expect. So many details were evident--the flowers, table setting and Workshop ready to begin!It was an honor to learn of Simonetta's family and the key to long life. This pasta process was being passed generations.

This was the highlight of my Sardinia trip! Very informative and genuine experience. This does not at all feel like a commercialized tourist experience. Simonetta was such a kind host - really felt like a local friend just invited us over for a dinner party. Learned tons about longevity on the island and how pasta and pasta making contributes to that. You learn how easy and fun it can be to make pasta as well as eat your meal that you created, along with trying other local dishes. I would absolu

Simonetta is a very special person in this world and her passion for Sardinian food and culture is infectious! She treated us like family in her ancestral home and the whole experience was awe inspiring. I highly encourage you to book with her and see for yourself how hard she is working to safekeep and pass on the ancient and beautiful traditions of Sardinia. You will not regret it!

This was an incredible must-do experience when visiting Sardinia. Simonetta shares her people’s secret to longevity while teaching the traditions of pasta making as well. The conversations, the food, the atmosphere was all so perfect. Highly recommend!!!

Raquel L.

It was a simply fantastic experience. Simonetta is a wonderful person, you could immediately tell from the first contact. I strongly advise you to participate in this workshop, to learn how to make pasta, but not only that, to learn about the culture, to see Simonetta's commitment to maintaining such a beautiful tradition. You won't regret it.

This activity was one of the highlights of our Sardinian trip. Simonetta was incredibly accommodating. She adjusted our time so we could do the entire tour and make it to our boat excursion on time as well. She is kind, knowledgable about pasta and the Sardinian way of life. You can feel the love in her home. The lunch we had was delicious and she even sent us with to go containers for our boat. She also sent us recommendations for our time in Olbia. Highly recommend!

Melanie S.

The Sardinian pasta workshop, wine tasting, and local meal was one of the highlights of our trip. Simonetta is a wonderful teacher, storyteller, and host. We learned about her family, culture, and the secrets to a long life, all while learning how to make pasta. Then we enjoyed a delicious dinner featuring our homemade pasta and additional dishes made with vegetables from Simonetta’s garden. And the wine was great, too! It was a lovely evening and we hope to do it again someday.

Kate H.

I couldn’t recommend this pasta workshop enough! It was an amazing experience and I enjoyed every second of it, Simonetta is so knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, and explained everything so well. She showed us how to shape several types of pasta. The food was all delicious, and so nicely prepared. Simonetta showed us her little wine cellar and we got to taste some of the wine with our meal. This has been the highlight of my trip to Sardinia!

Elizabeth M.

Absolutely brilliant! Simonetta was a gracious, welcoming instructor in how to make pasta and how to enjoy cooking in Sardinia. Would recommend her to anyone who wants a cooking class.

Francesca M.

Simonetta was the perfect host. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone staying in Sardinia for a holiday. We learnt so much, not only about how to make the pasta itself, but about the history of pasta-making in Italy and the cultural significance of the same. The lunch Simonetta prepared was amazing and it was such a treat to have homemade, freshly-prepared Italian food to try. It did not feel like a tourist experience at all but instead a genuine insight into Sardinian life

This class was a definite highlight of our 11-day stay in Sardinia! It is not just a cooking class, it is a lifestyle class, and a great learning about Sardinian Blue Zone. Simona was absolutely wonderful! She is a true ambassador of this beautiful island.

Chris B.

Fantastisch und unvergesslich. Es war ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis. Tolle Gastgeberin. So viel gelernt und gelacht und extrem lecker. Kann ich sehr empfehlen. Außerdem ein ganz spezieller Ort, der Raum und Zeit vergessen lässt. Einfach wunderbar. Würde ich jederzeit wieder machen.

Birgit N.

Schon bei der Ankunft habe ich mich in das antike Häuschen verliebt. Wir erhielten eine kleine Exkursion in das typische sardische Leben. Während des Workshops kneteten wir an einem langen Tisch den Teig und bekamen interessante Nudelformen gezeigt. Bei klassischer Musik im Hintergrund hatte das Ganze etwas entspanntes und ruhiges. Am Ende saßen wir draußen an einem reichlich gedeckten Tisch, plauderten und genossen unsere selbst gemachten Nudeln. Ich kann den Event sehr empfehlen. Toll gemach!

Marina D.

Adorei o ambiente, a decoração, tudo envolto na explicação dos três segredos para a longevidade. Recomendo muito entrar neste espírito sardo. Sem dúvida que foi um ponto alto nas nossas férias na Sardenha.

Maisie B.

Beautiful, authentic experience!

Iwona P.

Beautiful place, beautiful energy, and amazing workshop. I highly recommend this experience to everyone who wishes to dive deep into Sardinian culture.

Leonie L.

Perfecto! Brilliant! Perfect Location, best Pasta Ever! Good wine :-)

Marie C.

You should not miss out on this amazing experience. We had the perfect lunch that was so informative and special. We learned about the blue zone and how to make pasta. Absolutely wonderful experience and the best cooking class I’ve ever done

Lorenza P.

La lezione di cucina è stata meravigliosa. La host era preparata e ci ha fatto sentire a casa e ben accetti. La casa antica è un piccolo tesoro, con le porcellane e i mobili antichi. La cena è stata squisita e ci siamo trovati veramente bene. Divertite e mangiato tanto. Da migliorare un pò l'inglese, ma per il resto stupendo.

Corinna K.

Tolles Erlebnis, hat viel Spass gemacht, wunderschöne Location und natürlich hat es am Ende wahnsinnig lecker geschmeckt.

Veera O.

This pasta making class was absolutely incredible and so authentic experience. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip in Sardinia. Simonetta was absolutely lovely host. This class you not only learn how to make pasta, you will learn about the Sardinian culture. Highly recommended!
