Bigoli in Salsa

Bigoli are a local specialty of Verona: a kind of thick spaghetti made with a “torcolo,” an ancient wooden and bronze tool that you ride on a horse. Bigoli are cooked with two different sauces: a creamy sauce made with oil, onions, and anchovies, and a tomato and basil sauce. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also a lot of fun! Pair it all with Valpolicella red wine.

We had the most fantastic time at Anna’s cooking class! Learning how to make and craft the various types of pasta and how to pair them with the correct sauces. She has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the local cuisine and is a great teacher. We spent the morning making the most delicious pasta dishes accompanied by a home made dessert and a bottle of Prosecco. Can not recommend this experience enough! It’s a must visit for Verona!

This pasta experience was wonderful! My boyfriend and I are visiting from Chicago and were looking for an authentic pasta cooking class. Anna is a wonderful teacher and she included so many home-grown and homemade ingredients as part of a delicious and beautiful meal!! The enclosed rooftop cooking space was so gorgeous with views of the city.

A highlight of our week in Italy — sincerity, charm, and authenticity in every aspect of the experience — from Chef Anna’s delightful personality to her atmospheric home to the amazing lunch. This wasn’t our first Italian cooking experience; and it was one of the best! Off the beaten path in the most wonderful way. Highly recommended!

Traditional Italian home in the hills of Verona. Anna was so welcoming and shared stories, tips and laughs. We learned proper techniques and shared stories over the delicious lunch we made together. Definitely recommend for singles, couples and families!!

Lozzie Vegas

What an amazing class, so authentic and traditional, we came all the way from Australia to learn from Anna. She is a delightful teacher and host, we gained so much knowledge from her, all the secrets you don’t get from commercial cooking classes. The view while you cook is exceptional. Thank you Anna for welcoming us into your home to learn, I highly recommend your classes 😃

Kennessey Hartley

My wife and I wanted a special cooking class experience while visiting Verona- and we got it! Anna was amazing. Very patient with my “skills” and helped fine tune my wife’s skills. The pasta was as delicious as the experience was enjoyable. We would highly recommend to take Anna’s class. Thank you for the great experience.

Fantastic experience cooking with Anna! I came here with my husband and it was such a true Italian experience in a cute home. I learned so much and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! Thank you so much Anna.
