Top Tropea Cooking Classes

Thank you Enzo for a wonderful experience and one of the many highlights of our trip to Calabria 💞 The farm/restaurant/shop that hosted this experience was a wonderful family run organic masseria in the Calabrian hills.. We learnt how to make traditional Fileja pasta and filled Cannolis before eating the most wonderful antipasti .. Enzo was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Calabrian’s organic farm to table produce and the staff at the masseria were so welcoming. A must do for food lovers whilst staying in the Tropea area.

My girlfriend and I were looking for an exciting and authentic activity near Tropea. We stumbled upon this webshop where you could learn to make Italian pasta from scratch, and thought it sounded exciting, but we weren't entirely sure what we were getting into. We were picked up by a shuttle bus near our hotel and driven to a beautiful place with a fantastic view. This stop lasted about 15 minutes, after which we drove on to the farm where we were going to make the pasta. There were 16 people who signed up (full team), and we were all different nationalities, which was super cool! We spoke with a couple from Canada, some friends from the UK, and a Danish family. The guide was an Italian man who was good at English and explained a lot about the farm and the different raw materials grown on the site. He had good energy and was good at creating conversation. When we were finished with the pasta, we sat down and had an appetizer while the pasta was being cooked by their kitchen. The appetizer was a mass of various delicious Italian tapas. The pasta was served with tomatoes and olives and it tasted mega good. Throughout the event, both red and white wine were also served. The service was so good, and everyone who worked there was so friendly. We also got a small dessert which was cannoli made with their own homemade ricotta cream. At 10 PM we finished eating and were driven back to where we were picked up. It was a fantastic evening with fun, coziness, and educational experiences. Can be 100% recommended.

Thank you to Vincenzo and Alberto! A fantastic way to spend a night in Tropea. Both Vincenzo and Alberto are passionate about creating learning and connection experiences.

A really lovely evening! We were picked up from the hotel and then met our fellow cooks for the evening on-site. But before cooking, Alberto led us around the farm and, together with Enzo, told us interesting things about almost every plant and fruit. Then it was time to harvest and finally to prepare dinner. The international group was a great fit and it was very entertaining! Enzo and Alberto really catered to us, and we felt very comfortable.

Enzo and Nonna provided a fantastic cooking experience with locally sourced organic ingredients and wine. Enzo was extremely personable and knowledgeable of Calabria, being from the area originally. His English was excellent having lived in Australia for a period of time. We were taught how to prepare a simple but extremely tasty Italian meal starting with zucchini flower zeppole. We then made two kinds of pasta, cavatelli and fileja, by hand by mixing flour (00 and semolina) with only water. The cavatelli was served with an onion sauce made from Tropea onions, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. The fileja was served with a sauce of Tropea onions, tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and zucchini. Dessert was a homemade tiramisu made from espresso, cookies, and a fresh whipped cream with marscapone. The food was delicious and the company delightful. My wife and I highly recommend this cooking class if you are visiting Tropea!

Thank you for this lovely evening, the host Enzo and Nonna were great, We made to kinds of fresh pasta by ourself and Nonna showed us how to do. We’ve learned a lot new things.

It was a great experience. Enzo told us about Calabria, its geography and food , and really got us interested in the region. The tour around the farm was beautiful and the family that owns it was really welcoming. We made fileja pasta by hand, filled cannolis with ricotta and concluded with an absolutely delicious dinner with local products and produce. Highly recommended for people that want to learn more about the region or just like to make and eat good food!

One of the best experiences I've had in Tropea! We cooked 2 beautiful pastas with some very lovely other guests. All food was local and absolutely delicious.Totally recommend!!!

A lovely experience with an even better host, we visited the farm picked the ingredients, drank wine and cooked along with the chef even making some friends along the way.Made me want to try all the other experiences Enzo at visit Mediterraneo has to offer.10/10 don’t miss it.

Very good excursion man cow near the genuine Italy and got an experience with both food and get to taste self-produced food

This was our second excursion with Enzo. If you are ever in Tropea, I highly encourage you to book an excursion whether it be wine tasting with gelato or cooking with Nonna, both excursions were excellent and Enzo does a fantastic job.

Great experience, Enzo is a super kind host. The experience is also a social one, you can spend a nice evening with strangers connected by the passion for goos Calabrian food. Nonna Minna was very authentic!

An incredible farm-to-table experience with Enzo and Chef Alberto. We were welcomed into Alberto’s family home and farm, a beautiful setting.Alberto shared the history of the farm and explained how his family cultivates the land. We picked fresh ingredients and learned how to make two types of pasta from scratch, all while enjoying the company of a wonderful small group of people from around the world. Enzo was able to share all his knowledge about Tropea and the region of Calabria.A truly memorable experience filled with amazing food, great stories, and genuine warmth. Thank you, Enzo and Alberto, for sharing your home, culture, and passion with us .I look forward to the next one when I’m visiting Tropea again.This is a must do experience.

who enjoys connecting with other people, experiencing something authentic from the region, and being creative at the same time, is in the right place here. We were a great group and the hosts were very warm-hearted.

This was truly an outstanding experience! We started in the countryside garden, picking our own fresh produce for the cooking class, and learning about the history and significance of the land. We learned to make two pasta's, and enjoyed delicious food and wine with great company. Enzo and the culinary team created such a special and memorable experience! Highly highly recommend!

Fantastic experience. Incredibly sweet and welcoming host and staff who did a virtue out of telling about the company and teaches us about good Italian craftsmanship.
