点评:This was an outstanding 5-course 4-hour meal experience for our family of four (2 adults + 2 teens). Looking back, it was one of our family's highlights of our entire Italy trip! We started with a tour of the garden, and picked by hand tomatoes, eggplant, and basil that we'd be using for our meal. Over the course of the evening, we made a caprese salad, fried calamari, eggplant parmagiana, pasta (from scratch) with bolognese, and tiramisu. Our host Francesco knew exactly how to time each of the steps and guided us throughout the process. He enthusiastically described the nature of the ingredients (why it's the best buffalo mozzerella around!) and allowed all of us the hands-on opportunity to cut, mix, stir within each recipe. I had never made pasta from scratch before, and it was a lot of fun. My son was inspired to want to continue to make his own at home! Francesco was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about each dish, and even provided us the recipes to take home. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious! Francesco even wrapped up our leftovers, which we enjoyed for lunch the next day. The eggplant parm and tiramisu were just as tasty - if not more so - the day after! Be sure to come ready to make, to eat and to enjoy each course. We highly recommend this as an educational and social activity for anyone at any age!
