I never thought I could find such an authentic piece of Italy in Basel. The cooking course I did with Anita and Fabio exceeded all my expectations. From the beginning, I felt at home. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and Anita and Fabio welcomed us with a smile. The appetizer was a real surprise: a Parma prosciutto cut to the moment, so soft and tasty that it melted in the mouth, accompanied by homemade artichokes and some freshly made semolina bread bruschettas. The bread, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, was a delight. And to top it off, a Bruschetta with extra virgin olive oil and a hint of red garlic, a perfect combination! The pizza course was a lot of fun and I learned a lot of new things. Anita explained all the secrets to making a perfect dough and taught us how to stretch it like real Italians. But what I liked the most was the passion Anita and Fabio put into what they do. You can tell that they love food and enjoy sharing their knowledge with others. If you are looking for an authentic Basel culinary experience, don’t hesitate to sign up for this course. I assure you, you will not regret it!A culinary trip through Italy in Basel

During my trip from Colombia to Europe, after returning from Italy, I made a stop in Zurich and was looking for something special to enjoy with my boyfriend, beyond the typical restaurant. I found this experience in Basel, just an hour away by train, where Anita and Fabio welcomed us into their cozy home. We enjoyed an Italian aperitif with local wines, then we got to cooking: we learned how to handle lievito madre, we prepared pizza, focaccia and a delicious tiramisu, and they gave us a piece of sourdough to take away. It was all fun and enriching, with Fabio explaining the wines and Anita teaching cooking techniques, and they also speak very good Spanish! I highly recommend this unique experience that combines Italian food, culture and warmth in Switzerland.Great Italian Food in Switzerland

This class was absolutely amazing! We were warmly welcomed and learned so much about the history of the dishes we were making that night. We then went into the kitchen and got to make an authentic Italian meal with our own hands, from the pasta starter to the delicious food got out of the oven. If you want an authentic Italian cooking experience, do not hesitate to sign up for this class. I’ve been cooking for forty years, and I still learned things in this class. Sign up for this and you’ll have an experience that will be remembered for years to come.Absolutely Amazing

I never thought that just a family trip will brought me such a funny experience. I visited Basilea, looked for something to do and got with this. Excellent experience. The host are so lovely, we all have a nice time, plus learning to cook authentic Italian pizza. Coming from Buenos Aires, nothing much to envie. 100% recommended.Unique experience!

A Truly Five-Star Home Restaurant Experience! From the moment we arrived, we felt like honored guests at a luxury restaurant. Fabio and Anita welcomed us with warm smiles, delicious cocktails, and an array of Mediterranean organic appetizers. The limoncello spritz, Swiss local wines, and other Italian specialties set the perfect tone for the evening. The fireplace was glowing, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Fabio is a charming Roman host who passionately explained the origins of the aperitifs and the sustainable organic products they serve. Anita, with her classic Italian warmth, made us feel completely at home. Her homemade apple pie with artisan ice cream was simply divine – a dessert to remember! The cheese fondue was an absolute highlight. Not only was it heavenly, but Fabio also shared the history and secrets of making this Swiss delicacy. The setup was intimate and personal, with a beautifully prepared table in a private lounge just for us. We were spoiled with plenFive Star Experience
