Our host was great. Greates us in a warm manner. Sat with us and reviewed the dishes we would make. Discussed how we would do it and most importantly the why of things. I learned a lot and I have been preparing Italian food from scratch for decades
Great food. Great wine. Great time

Exceptional class from Deborah. She has a beautiful home and is a superb teacher. She is patient, informative, and gracious. We learned to make 3 pastas and ate them all. This is how we will eat pasta from now on. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic time with Carolina & Simona! What a great mother-daughter duo. They were excellent teachers, and delightful to spend the day with! We learned how to make pasta…and enjoyed a terrific lunch in their beautiful apartment,

Wonderful experience, Monica was an absolute delight, her teaching manner & skills impeccable, so kind! Recommend her to anyone seeking an authentic Como experience & looking for instruction to take pasta making to ones own kitchen.

Christina was an absolute gem! She opened her home to us and her family was most accommodating. George gave us a ride back to our hotel after our taxi experience (incoming) was not so great. This is an absolute RE-Do next time in Como. Highly recommend sweet Chef Christina!!

We are excited to use our new skill when we get home. Vincente was knowledgable and taught us some things about making and cooking pasta that we didn't know before.

My adult daughter and I took this class together and we had a great time. Morena was a wonderful teacher and was very patient with us.

We had a great time with the Ferrante family, they are very hospitable and created a delicious menu for us, patiently taking the time to explain to us the different steps. We definitely left with a full stomach but also a full heart. Nothing is to crazy and you can feel this is their passion, so needless to say we had a lovely evening.

Our expectation was far exceeded with a gracious host, beautiful setting, wonderful food & good drink. The fellowship and new friendships are treasured! The only change we would recommend is to make the event start later in the evening. We were scheduled to begin at 5pm.

This experience was absolutely not what we expected. Nor what we paid for. Anna and her friend Kasia were very sweet and funny but Anna wore a mouth mask and was therefore very difficult to understand. The aperitifs were tasty and were already ready when we got there.
The facts are that the course took place in a small and warm room (no kitchen) without proper facilities. We had two hotplates and a table and we were sometimes mostly in the way.
The ingredients didn't seem to be ready and most of the parts were already prepared by Anna herself. We made little ourselves and learned little. We made gnocchi with unsuitable potatoes. Turns out it's not the season for gnocchi. So why was this dish chosen? Anna did the cooking of that. One of us stirred the risotto and that's all we've got to say. Mostly we listened and watched. The ragu was ready just like the tiramisu that was ready in the fridge.
We were sitting outside in a deserted courtyard.
Remember that this course costs €179 per person. In total we paid over €1000 for 3 hours of lessons. What we got was disproportionate to what we paid. Not in terms of location, ingredients, class or food. Looking at the description and photos of the workshop on your website then we have received the wrong product. In fact, we should receive a large part of the cost back.
We would never recommend this course. . Anna was sweet but also quite chaotic and this was not a workshop or course. The highlights were the aperitifs and we laughed.
