Better than 5 stars and highlight of my trip to Italy! - This was an amazing class in a perfect location! Anna was so knowledgeable about the palace and the pasta she taught me how to make! I am allergic to perfumes and fragrances and she went out of her way to help me, including buying a separate soap for me. The food was divine! I don't drink alcohol or coffee and she put together a fabulous tiramisu with a berry sauce instead of coffee. I'm still dreaming about how fun the class was and the delicious food! Thank you!

Wonderful cooking class in Como! - We had a wonderful experience with Cesarine and Morena as our host! She was so welcoming and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed talking with her while making and enjoying our meal. We had several appetizers and made ravioli and tortellini with pesto and tiramisu. Each course was paired with an apertif or wine with some coffee at the end. This was one of the best experiences we had in Como, and we would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Immerse yourself in the local cuisine from inside a local chef's home. - Intimate, instructional & entertaining. Felt easily at home and engaged in the experience of learning local dishes. Attentive, kind and communicative host; Margherita was great at explaining the creative process and very personable. Warm and welcoming from the beginning. This was just the most amazing experience and really immerses you in the local traditions and culture.

Honeymoon Trip - Went with my wife while staying in Como for our honeymoon. Simona picked us up from the middle of Como which was very convenient for us. The food was excellent and very fun to make. Carolina and Simona were super friendly and fun to chat with. We had an amazing time and would recommend this class to anyone!

Fantastic and highly recommended - Fantastic. Highly recommended. We had an incredible time. We loved every minute of it. Beatrice was a lovely teacher and hostess, and very interesting to talk to. We learned so much - not only about cooking but about the local culture and life in the Lake Como, area.
