    Pasta, Passion & Fun - An Absolute MUST DO in Verona

    Cooking with Valli & Dave was one of the highlights of our trip! Valli's passion for pasta and desire to share her Granny's secrets makes her an amazing teacher. We loved that she taught us how to make the pasta but more importantly taught us what to do when things appear to go terribly wrong (as they are likely to do the first few times). Dave's comic relief kept everyone on their toes and made the class that much more exciting and memorable. Together, Valli & Dave put forth a force of passion, learning, and fun that we are still talking about almost 2 weeks later. CAUTION: Attending this class will 100% convince you that this is the only way to prepare pasta at home. Before we even left their home, we were online ordering our very own pasta maker and purchased several of the small tools right from Valli at the class. We can't wait to try out what we learned at home! If you are going to be in Verona and considering a cooking class, "My Granny's Secrets: Making Pasta in the Heart of Verona" is an ABSOLUTE MUST DO!!! It is a hands-on experience followed by a very tasty dinner with a lot of laughs in between. To Valli & Dave - Thank you for opening your home and sharing your passion with us. We look forward to sharing our future pasta journey with you! Much love from your new friends in Michigan!

    This was hands-down the best cooking class I have ever taken. Valli and Dave are excellent teachers and the class is also very entertaining. I highly recommended this experience!

    An Unforgettable Experience 10/10

    Do not miss this opportunity if you’re in Verona. It was the perfect introduction to pasta making with the ideal blend of information, demonstration, and hands-on experience. I learned a great deal and left with a new passion for pasta making (and eating!). Valli and Dave were the perfect hosts - they have an extremely professional set-up (a large, clean space for activities, large bathroom and high levels of hygiene, air conditioning, water to stay hydrated) but at the same time I felt welcomed into their home. Valli is an excellent teacher and Dave the perfect side-kick (an excellent cleaner, judge, and jokester). I felt at ease throughout the whole experience and laughed a lot. This is an ideal afternoon/evening activity for solo travellers, partners, families, and groups of friends. And at the end of it all, you get to eat a delicious home cooked 3 course meal with the fruits of your labour - the pasta! Thank you Valli and Dave for an unforgettable experience.

    Delicious and educational

    I had a wonderful time learning and cooking pasta! The hosts were really friendly and kind the whole evening! The whole evening was about 4 hours long! The hosts were knowledgeable about the area so I recommend booking at the beginning of your trip so you can ask for recommendations!

    My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.

    How much does My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona cost?

    +

    Prices start at $108 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Verona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.3 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 Verona is not rushed.

    Is My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 138 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Verona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona?

    +

    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 My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona?

    +

    Around 48 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 Verona 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 Verona and add a light layer if any part of the 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona 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 Verona 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 Verona?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Verona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Verona Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class With Wine by Cooking Italy, Highlights and hidden gems Verona Bike Tour, Verona e-bike tour: city center and panoramic views. 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 Verona?

    +

    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 Verona?

    +

    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 My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona?

    +

    Included: Three-course meal in a local home; Ingredients and Kitchen tools; Helpful tips to make pasta everywhere, everytime you want to; The Secret and Recipes of my Granny; and Beverage (Water will be always available and Wine will be served during the meal). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona?

    +

    I'm asking you please to check after your booking your emails or to the messages section here on the app because I will write you further info to find easily the apt. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    Is My Granny's secrets: Making pasta in the heart of Verona wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
