Rockin kitchen : Fresh Pasta lesson with Music Aperitif Dinner

Without question, this will be the highlight of your trip. The Duomo is there for all of Milan to admire. And, perhaps many will catch a football match or the Olympics. But, along with myself, my wife and friends, tonight’s cooking experience is a memory that will last for years. I’m certain that Viator has a list of schools ready to advertise. This was beyond special. The beginning was a handshake. In the end, it was hugs. In between, a warm, delicious and educational environment that we still can’t stop talking about. Beyond the culinary experience, our chef/friend shared his musical blessings with the group. In addition, we met a wonderful young man named Gabriel who only enhanced the experience. If you’re lucky, Simone might share some of his favorite international culinary experiences. We are making our way through the Olympics, and yet nothing will compare to the music, food and friends and tonight’s cooking experience.

This is a must-do in Milan for any group of adults or families with adult kids (we were 3 50+ year olds with our 3 21+ year old kids)!! We had the BEST time!! Simone is a terrific host, teaching us how to make two pastas while chatting and really treating us like family. Mattia was an amazing host too, and made the best dessert for us!! The whole evening is set to a soundtrack that is absolutely fantastic - songs you will know and love (especially if you love 80’s music!!) and you can’t help sing and dance to while you cook and talk!! While the pasta rested, we had a wonderful Italian aperitivo with great wine and lovely crudite, meats and cheeses and fun conversation. Overall this evening was a highlight of our trip. Note: you should plan to take an Uber (easy and available) to/from Simone’s wonderful apartment as it’s in a residential area outside of city center.

We had the best experience ever. Simone, his hospitality, his friends, is lovely and warm home added to the amazing cooking lesson he gave to us. He danced and laughed together with each choreographed step of his lesson to a cool rocking song. We dinned and drank together like old friends and ended the evening with an amazing piano serenade and sing along. We even got to play with chiefs cats. This was the best part of our trip 🍝🐈😘🇮🇹🍷

Simone’s cooking class was honestly one of the best experiences of our trip. It felt more like being invited over for dinner at a friend’s place than a formal class. He had everything prepared perfectly in advance, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and his instructions were super clear and easy to follow. While we were chatting and getting to know the group, he brought out some delicious little starter bites he’d made, which was such a nice touch. The pasta we cooked turned out amazing – we were all so proud of our creations! And just when we thought it couldn’t get better, Simone surprised us with a homemade tiramisu that was absolutely delicious. The music, the vibe, the company – it was all perfect. Simone is so warm and friendly, and he made everyone feel right at home. If you’re visiting, don’t miss this experience!

Hands down the best experience! Have done different pasta making classes in Milan, but this one was a lot of fun. Choreographed to music. Great for the entire family
