Top Rimini Dining Experiences

We had a great evening with Giacomo. He was a great guide and host. The dinner was deliciou and we enjoyed to prepare our own pasta.

We had the most amazing experience with Giacomo and Alex and genuinely couldn’t recommend this cooking class enough!From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. It really did feel less like a formal cooking class and more like being welcomed into someone’s home for an evening with friends.Giacomo is a professional fresh pasta chef and his knowledge absolutely shines through. He was incredibly patient, friendly and such a brilliant teacher. He taught us how to make two different types of fresh pasta (one with eggs and one without) and then showed us how to cut and shape them in so many different ways, explaining what each shape is traditionally used for along the way. We learned so much without the experience ever feeling rushed or overly technical.It was also so much more than just making pasta. Giacomo prepared gorgeous starters for us, along with delicious sauces to accompany the pasta we had made, and then me and my partner sat at the table to enjoy the meal we had helped to prepare. He served Lambrusco with our meal, which neither of us had really tried before, and we are now completely obsessed with it! To finish, he served us what was genuinely the best tiramisu I have ever had, absolutely incredible.What really stood out was how much Giacomo went above and beyond. After the experience, he even walked us into the town centre and recommended places for us to visit and explore in the beautiful local area, which was such a lovely and thoughtful extra touch.We were also sent all of the photos and videos from the evening afterwards, as well as the recipes, so we can recreate everything at home.This was easily one of the highlights of our trip. We would 100% do it again and I would genuinely love the opportunity to learn more from Giacomo in the future. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and a fantastic teacher. Thank you for making us feel so welcome and for giving us such a memorable evening. ❤️

A really enjoyable few hours with Matteo and Eddy - we had been looking forward to the pasta making class and it lived up to expectations❤️ Matteo and Eddy of Rimini were perfect hosts - spritz on arrival with tasty snacks of local pork, cheese, olives and brushetta - thankyou 😋 They taught us how to make 2 types of pasta, it was hands on and we were all pleased with our efforts We then had lunch roasted veg x2, our 2 types of pasta with sauce, followed by the best tiramasu ever! - all the while our drinks were kept refilled Thank you for the perfect class 👌 Matteo & Eddy you are stars 🌟

Lovely people, they hosted us togheter and had really nice chat whit them about life and experiences. It felt like we shared a moment in their life plus we also learned all the tips and tricks of making tagliatelle,ravioli and tiramisu.

We made Lasagna at an in home cooking class. The chef/teacher was very knowledgeable how to make homemade lasagna noodles, belchemel sauce and delicious ragu sauce. It was a delight to meet her mom and husband who joined us for a delicious meal.

Patrizia was an amazing guide. We began in the markets where we were introduced to a range of regional specialities from Rimini. We then went to her beautiful home in the nearby countryside where she taught us 3 unforgettable dishes. A tiramisu, a piada with different fillings and the amazing strozzapretti pasta eith salsiccia ragu sauce. All 3 made by hand. She was a patient and highly skilled cook and watchingher work the pasta gave us new inspiration to cook. Finally we sat down to a beautiful meal with her husband. This is what we love when travelling. I even found out Patrizia made it to the semifinals of the tiramisu world cup in Treviso. This is amazing. She was welcoming, patient and kind as a teacher. You cant miss this tour.

We enjoyed this wonderful, private cooking experience one on one with Patrizia and her Mum Carla. We were welcomed into her home just out of Rimini where she had prepared all the freshest, local ingredients for our cooking class. The environment immediately felt special, like cooking with friends for dinner and everything was very well prepared. We made a Tiramisu dessert first so it could set in the fridge and straight away we were ‘hands on’. This wasn’t a ‘I’ll show you experience’, we were doing the cooking! Once prepared we were right into the pasta making doing the mixing and kneading. We refreshed with a glass of Prosecco and learned about the method, tips and making the fillings using fresh, local produce. Creating 2 types of pasta, ravioli and cappelletti we set about all the work making these one by one, cutting, filling and shaping. With background Italian music, smiles and laughs were all part of the fun experience. Mum Carla did all the tidy up and cleaning up – we just did all the pasta prep! Dinner was beautifully set up in the alfresco back yard with a running water fountain, gingham table cloth and appetizers Mum Carla has prepared for us; bruschetta, antipasto and vino! We cooked the ravioli together, Patrizia showed us the finishing touches with parmesan and cooking water before we devoured that. Then the cappelletti which was served with a ragout she had already prepared, delicious. We were already full before eating the Tiramisu we prepared, finishing off with a home-made Limoncello. This experience was so personalised, homely and extremely well done. We can highly recommend this, leaving with the skills and knowledge to do confidently do this at home. A four-hour experience usually money can’t buy. 10/10!

I don’t even know where to start. I had the pleasure of spending a day with Patrizia and her lovely family. They showed me around the market, sharing many interesting things and answering all my questions. We bought fresh ricotta for the pasta. Then, we went to her idyllic and beautiful home, which felt like a dream. Patrizia was an excellent and patient teacher, first explaining how to make tiramisu and then guiding me through making the pasta. When everything was ready, we tasted the delicious food. I can’t wait to try making it at home!

Learning to cook from Patrizia was a superb experience. Everything we made was delicious yet her instructions were simple to follow. She guided me through every step (specially rolling the dough part) and gave me some pro tips. I will definitely do this again for other recipes.

This was an amazing experience! Food was excellent and the family was so warm and lovely!! I highly recommend this to anybody visiting in this area!

The family, mother, son and father, were extremely nice because of the lateness and the market being closed they gave me an impromptu tour of rimini. The food they served was excellent and obviously what they would normally eat. Overall a great experience.

One of the best experiences of our holiday. The cook and here family were very kind and the food was delicious. Thank you.

Touring the fish and fruit markets in Rimini with my host was a delightful start to the course. Cooking a 3 course meal while being guided by my host and conversing in italian and English was fun, much lghthearted laughter was a feature of the day

We cooked in a really lovely garden. Patrizia and her mother both taught us so well and were so warm and welcoming. Zeus was also such a sweet dog who just couldnt get enough belly rubs🥰 At the end of the evening we stayed a chatted and also got to try Patrizias homemade limoncello and orange liqueur, which were fantastic! We will definitely come back🤗

The pasta and tiramisu workshop with Patrizia in her home was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at ease. Patrizia guided us step by step in preparing tiramisu and two different types of fresh pasta, making the process both fun and accessible. After the cooking, we enjoyed a lovely aperitif with delicious bites, accompanied by her homemade Prosecco, while the pasta was being finished and the table prepared. To top it all off, we were treated to homemade limoncello for dessert. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and without a doubt one of the highlights of our week in the Rimini area. A special mention goes to Patrizia’s mother, who was incredibly kind and ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes, from preparing the aperitif to taking care of the cleaning. Highly recommended.

We loved the experience with Patrizia. The teaching was so clear and easy to understand, the care Patrizia took in ensuring we understood, and then the final menu was so delicious. I feel like I can easily now make pasta at home. Patrizia’s home was so lovely too and we loved meeting her Mama who was always supporting in the background. Highly recommend
