We learnt so much about Frascati and her family’s history as well as the invaluable skill of pasta making! I thought I knew how to make pasta but this changed the game! The bowl of pasta was HUGE, we tried two wines and we paid 5€ for an extra glass of the delicious red and bought a bottle to take home! Cannot recommend enough.”
