TERRIBLE CUSTOMER CARE
I received a gift voucher for 3 people to be able to participate in a social aperitif. The voucher given to me only showed a code without any specification of the time within which to use it. Upon asking to see if I could know the dates on which to participate, I was told that the person who had given me the voucher had received an email with the expiration date. Unfortunately, the person who gave me the gift did not provide me with this information. So the chef pocketed the cost of the gift voucher, hiding behind the email sent to the person who had purchased it. BEWARE IF YOU GIVE A GIFT REGARDING THE EXPIRATION DATE!!!!!

Nice experience
We have just returned from this experience of "international cooking class" with chef Ilaria and her cute collaborator. We found hospitality and kindness, organization and professionalism. We learned some tricks in the kitchen and ate the 3 dishes prepared by ourselves. We really enjoyed the flavors of Jordanian, Georgian and Armenian cuisine. Brave!

Learn from the Chef, enjoying your time !
It was a great experience to cook with a real chef, meeting other people with the same love for cooking … and eating! I had very nice time and would recommend the experience to friends.
Response from the operator: Grazie Mariacristina! Che piacere sentire che ti sei divertita e ti sei trovata bene. Abbiamo imparato cose nuove, conosciuto nuovi amici e lavorato tutti insieme . Magari ci rivediamo, ARRIVEDERCI 😊 Chef Ilaria

Would have liked chef to spend more time with us.
Learning to make the food was fun and informative. Unfortunately, since only 7 of 10 people were signed up, the market and coffe parts were cancelled, which were the reasons I signed up for this particular class. Chef seemed rushed and left us to mingle among ourselves for long periods of time. Also, I would have liked to see how they made sauces which were served, even if it was not a hands on part.

International aperitif + cooking class in Italian: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Milan.
How much does International aperitif + cooking class in Italian cost?
+
Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Milan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does International aperitif + cooking class in Italian take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Milan is not rushed.
Is International aperitif + cooking class in Italian worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Milan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule International aperitif + cooking class in Italian?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is International aperitif + cooking class in Italian suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book International aperitif + cooking class in Italian?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Milan can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Milan and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does International aperitif + cooking class in Italian start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Milan within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Milan?
+
On Outty we rank every Milan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Gnocchi, Pasta, Tiramisù and Wine Class, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Milan?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Milan?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in International aperitif + cooking class in Italian?
+

As soon as you reach the location. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is International aperitif + cooking class in Italian offered in?
+
It runs in Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
