We enjoyed the small group mid week cooking class. The practical and precise instruction across the morning was peppered with fun tales and humour. The dishes we prepared were varied and delicious and nothing was too much trouble when it came to service of the...morning coffee and over lunch.More
This was definitely simple food that was done well. We had dinner which was chefs selection with a 6 course menu. Some of the dishes consisted on mussels on flatbread, chickpea and prawn broth, risotto with pipi's and ravioli. These were really beautifully cooked and...enjoyable dishes. The pasta was my favourite! The service was wonderful with staff able to give great wine recommendations as they were very knowledgeable. All in all a great night. Thank you!More
The food was amazing. Simple ingredients made into a memorable meal. The pumpkin ravioli and gnocchi with white ragu were flavoursome. Please do yourself a favour and experience this wonderful cafe next time you are in the Barossa Valley.
bernadinap thank you for your lovely comments, Fiona & Matteo
Was very unsure what to expect, and was worried it would be hard to make pasta but it wasn't. Matteo was an amazing teacher and the small class made it very easy to learn. Can't wait to practice at home once we've found a pasta...roller. Highly reccomend anyone wanting to learn or have a different experience come here for a cooking class!More
Michelle C thank you so much for your kind words, we hope you have many years of delicious pasta making! Fiona & Matteo
Best coffee on out trip so far, carefully made. Fiona offered local advice on things to do. Delicious nougat is a must buy
thank you for your lovely comments, safe travels
We had an incredible time at the cooking class with Matteo, learning some valuable skills and enjoying some of the best produce and food we had in the Barossa. This was a highlight of our time in South Australia, and the company and local suggestions...of Matteo and Fiona were fantastic as well.More
A wonderful 4 hour experience & a day we’ll never forget! COVID ruined our chance of a cooking class in Tuscany last year but after discovering & attending Matteo’s cooking class last week, it was as though we were there! Matteo & Fiona provide an...authentic Italian experience in the heart of their own restaurant’s kitchen. Matteo patiently & humorously demonstrated & guided us through the meticulous, hands-on preparation of 4 delicious courses from start to finish including: a baked zucchini flan; the lightest, fluffiest potato gnocchi you’ll ever taste, swimming in a divine beef Ragu that simmered for 2 & a half hours; THE most incredible ravioli stuffed with spinach & goat’s curd coated with a silky butter & sage sauce & for dessert, a mouthwatering baked panacotta... yum!!!!! After we prepared the meals, they were all cooked & served to us in the last hour in the restaurant, paired with the most incredible Italian wines. Preparing, kneading & rolling out our own pasta through the machine was a definite highlight of the day but learning so many cooking tips from an experienced chef like Matteo was invaluable. Casa Carboni’s cooking class is a must-do activity when visiting the Barossa. We will certainly be spreading the word! Thank you again Matteo & Fiona for an everlasting, memorable day.More
Ciao 894kellb, thank you it was an absolute pleasure! Happy cooking, Fi & Matteo
We had been recommended this place by a local . When we arrived there was a large cooking class going on which seemed to cause a big distraction to front of house . We ordered 2 pastries and 2 coffees - one with soy milk...- the lady said she was out of soy milk and recommended we go next door for coffee ( what !!). I said but we have been recommended to you . Anyhow she relented and sent a staff member to the shops to retrieve some milk . When it all came out it was very good but I didn’t appreciate the attitude and you need to decide are you a cafe or a cooking school. Cause it’s very hard to do both well .More
Hi annedade, I must apologise, however no where on our communications does it say we are a cafe. We are a cooking school & enoteca. and our signage does state that. Our "large" cooking class was/is 8 guests and yes they take priority first thing...More
Starting the day without good coffee isn't a concern if you can pop into Casa Carboni. Great atmosphere and service. Definitely will come again.
The menu was small but everything was clearly made from fresh produce, evident in the flavour. The suggested wine pairing was perfect. Service was friendly and prompt. Couldn't fault a thing. Such a lovely experience. Would highly recommend to anyone.
We visited Casa Carboni a few weeks ago for their Friday night set menu dinner. Each dish was more delicious than the last - I wish I had taken photos to help remember them all! Fiona was also lovely and helped us select a bottle...of wine from their European wine collection. Chef Matteo also came over to visit each table and chat a bit about the food. A very cosy restaurant on the main street in Angaston - highly recommend if you are in the are on a Friday evening.More
Enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Casa Carboni - such good food, using local produce and ingredients - house made pasta, bread and cakes and great coffee. Really interesting selection of wines predominantly from Italy and France. Service from Matteo and Fiona was attentive, knowledgeable and...very friendly. A brilliant lunch or dinner stop while in the Barossa.More
Stopped in for a quick takeaway coffee, the best coffee we found in the Barossa. Looks like they do some good cooking classes.
The best of whatever is on the seasonal menu. Can't go wrong regardless what you order. Great European wines to choose from to complement your meal choices. The hosts, Fiona and Mateo, also offer Italian cooking classes at certain times of the year. Check out...their website or facebook page.More
A lovely couple run this cosy restaurant. The food options are limited yet all delicious. They also have a great selection of European wine if you are tired of heavy Barossan Shiraz.
