Phenomenal - Veronica and her husband Luca were absolutely wonderful. Veronica was such a great teacher, her English was great. She is extremely knowledgeable and is her husband. We not only learned how to make the most amazing pasta and tiramisu she also showed us how to make 3 appetizers. The food, the wine the lemon cello and the company was phenomenal.

Perfect evening - Veronica was the most amazing hostess, chef and coach! The food was amazing, the experience was fun and relaxing and the ability to see into her life and home gave us a taste of Italy typically not seen on a tourist trip. I traveled with 2 girlfriends, but would recommend this to couples, friends or families. Cannot wait to make the dinner again when I am back home! 🍝

What an incredible... - What an incredible experience! Taking a cooking class in this lovely home in Como was truly a highlight of my trip. From the moment I arrived, the family was so welcoming and made me feel right at home. Their warmth and hospitality created such a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere—it felt like cooking with old friends. They were incredibly knowledgeable and patient, sharing family recipes and techniques with so much passion and care. I learned so much, not just about the food, but also about the culture and traditions behind each dish. The ingredients were fresh, the setting was beautiful, and the entire experience was authentic and memorable. Communication before and during the class was excellent—everything was well-organized and clear, which made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. If you’re in Como and love food, don’t miss this experience. It’s the perfect way to connect with the local culture and create delicious memories!

Excellent and fun cooking class! - The hosts were very knowledgeable, friendly and taught very well. It was truly a FUN experience the host picked us up at our accommodations which really helped with us not knowing the area at all.

Nada - No way to get home. Not organized. Sadly we have enjoyed these but this one wasn’t as good. Not helpful. Money not returned knowing no way to get transportation due to ferry schedule. Zero guidance..

No parking information. Couldn't attend. NO REFUND - This is the worst experience we've ever had. I left messages prior to arrival asking about parking and we never got information until we drove up to the address, apparently through many non driving zones. Now the trip operator will NOT give us a refund and we will be facing many large traffic fines. How horrible that no one gave us parking information well in advance, even though we asked for the information WELL before arriving. Because of this, we missed our tour even though we arrived 20 minutes early and the operator will not give us a refund even though it was their fault for not giving clear directions (nor did they answer messages beforehand). DO NOT BOOK WOTH THIS OPERATOR!!!!!
