“I enjoyed learning how to crochet and knit in separate private sessions with Maria Conte. Maria is gifted with her so many talents and expertise as well as being extremely patient. No matter if you are a beginner, Maria guides you through the entire process to learn the techniques and complete beautiful and decorative projects for your home. I was surprised in how fast I could learn. I also found these lost arts to be very entertaining and therapeutic.”

“I have been studying Italian with Maria for almost 2 years. I am a senior and found that studying a new language at an old age is very beneficial for exercising the memory. The small classes are a lot of fun, we laugh, we joke (in Italian of course) and learn about Italian customs and heritage. I recently visited Italy and to my amazement was able to communicate. Maria is a wonderful and encouraging teacher, with non judgmental personality.”

“Maria Conte came to our house for an Italian cooking class with my son. And yes, it was a gift for my son’s 16th birthday. With extreme kindness and skill, Maria and my son prepared an entire menu from appetizer to dessert, not excluding handmade pasta. The whole lesson was conducted in Italian. My son well enjoyed Maria’s guidance, learned new recipes and practiced Italian all at the same time. It was a great experience even for me who was watching everything from the next room. The food was delicious! I will hire Maria for future cooking lessons, and I want to recommend her to others, both young and old, as well.” – Ella H. Wilson – Newton, MA – Winter 2025
