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.

Perfect Italian cooking class in Como! - Our hosts invited us in to their top floor apartment and we immediately felt welcome and knew we were in for a wonderful experience. Stephania and Vincenzo are the nicest people. They are obviously passionate about food and wine and are really good instructors. Fear not, you need no cooking experience to make a great yet simple meal of appetizer, two kinds of pasta and tiramisu. Only basic kitchen tools, and easily obtainable ingredients, and you will be able to recreate all of it at home. We did it with two other couples that we were traveling with. A welcome break from sightseeing and shopping. Would highly recommend to anyone. It was SO much fun!

THE BEST MEAL IN COMO! - From the moment we arrived, we felt like old friends! Stefania and Vincenzo were very funny and personable. It was an amazing experience to make a traditional recipe. They were very encouraging that we could make this easily in our own home. The view from their apartment was breathtaking, and the sunset was beautiful. We were blessed with lovely weather. The wine, the food and the conversation was well worth the price. We even danced in the kitchen! It was a spectacular experience and we look forward to seeing them again. I would recommend this to anyone.

Authentic experience - We had a great time. The company was great and the food was delicious. We loved learning how to make pasta and tiramisu. I plan on making homemade ravioli from now on and making tiramisu for holiday gatherings.

Wonderful cooking experience! - We had a wonderful cooking class with Monica. Very interactive and she was an absolute pleasure. We would definitely recommend her if you are thinking of participating in a cooking class with a local. She welcomes you into her home and considers any dietary restrictions you may have. Finished off with an excellent meal cooked by you. We will be purchasing a pasta machine when we get back.

A lovely, human experience - Very wholesome, authentic and enjoyable experience. Simona and her mother were lovely and genuine people. Learned to make some gnocchi and got some great tips for visiting Milan. Highly recommend, especially for a more homely experience in between lots of hotels and restaurants .
