This was an amazing experience. Vincenzo was such a great host. He was very personable and made us feel right at home. His love for cooking was quickly passed on to us. We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu but more importantly we learned how nice it was to cook with each other. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone! Easily the highlight of our trip to Como.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. We were welcomed into our hosts home and made to feel relaxed. The explanation and demonstration to cooking was perfect and we loved eating the finished product and chatting w our hosts throughout the experience. Would highly recommend.
Very fun and welcoming cooking class making pasta ravioli !! You don’t need to be very knowledgeable about cooking. They guide through everything and are very knowledgeable.
This absolutely made our stay in Lake Como a great experience! Simona was a delight and not only taught us how to make pasta but shared some great stories about life in Italy!
We had a wonderful experience. Morena was an excellent host and we had so much fun cooking with her in her home.
We had an amazing time in Carolina and Simone’s beautiful home. They were really welcoming, and we had great fun being taught how to make ravioli. They were amazing teachers. The activity was really enjoyable. The food was amazing. I would highly recommend
Veronica hosted a wonderful cooking class in her home and made us feel extremely welcome from the moment we arrived. She explained each step clearly, making it surprisingly easy to learn how to make fresh pasta and Tiramisu. All the ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the final dishes were exceptional — truly restaurant‑quality.
A warm atmosphere, great teaching, and outstanding food. Highly recommend.
Anna was the perfect host and teacher.
Was so much fun and highly recommend.
Anna gave me the perfect Italian pasta experience.
Margherita was amazing! She was a great and patient teacher. And our food was delicious. She was welcoming and her home tidy.
This was the best cooking class. They treated us like family. We loved the recipes they taught us. I wish we can do it again !!!
The most amazing couple to learn and enjoy a taste of italy absolutely wonderful people they made this experience for us!
Wonderful experience! Simona and her mom were the best instructors and the food was incredible! Highly recommend
This was a great experience. Very hands on where we learned to make various pastas and tiramisu. Our hosts, Simone and Carolina were the best, they made us feel at home.
Terrific experience. Right in out host's home! They were pleasant, welcoming, and the food preparation was a fantastic experience.
We unfortunately had a family emergency and were not able to join the class. Unfortunately the instructor couldn’t even have been bothered to message us back after letting her know the night before that we would not be able to make it. Would not recommend just based on that…
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear Taylor,
We are sorry to hear about your family emergency and understand that unexpected situations can arise.
However, your cancellation was made the night before the experience, which falls within the non-refundable cancellation period clearly stated in the booking terms. As a result, the reservation could not be rescheduled or refunded.
Regarding the lack of response, the host was already preparing for the experience and may not have been able to reply immediately. Nevertheless, the cancellation policy remains applicable regardless of the reason for cancellation.
We appreciate your understanding.
Marguerite was a delightful cook and hostess as she brought us through the traditional ways of cooking with love. The evening was well worth it. After all the cooking we enjoyed our dinner that we prepared with our own hands.
One of the nicest families I’ve ever met. Hospitable, kind and well spoken. We all LOVED the experience and learned abundantly.
I highly recommend this piece of experience
The host was excellent and very hospitable
She gave us the recipes
And she cooked perfectly and she answered all questions we had
We just finished our ravioli cooking class with Lidia and Giovanni and it was spectacular! We were running late and they were so accommodating and understanding. The class was wonderful and would highly recommend. Thank you SO much, Lidia & Giavonni!
Anna Maria was an excellent host!!! We had such a wonderful experience with her and we would certainly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a quality host to show you what cooking really good food looks like and having a great time!
It was so wonderful being welcomed in Morena’s home to take the cooking class. Communication was excellent beforehand so we knew where to go. A truly authentic Italian cooking experience!
Anna was a gracious and generous host who patiently shared her experience and gently guided our progress. She provided a wonderful set of " snacks" before the class started and shared, with a tour, the amazing building we cooked in.
This cooking class was EVERYTHING! Francesca and Luca welcomed my husband, daughter, and I like family. The energy was so warm and inviting that my husband got a little too comfortable walking around their house like he’d been there his whole life 😂. We laughed, cooked amazing food, and made such special memories together. If you’re thinking about booking—DO IT!
Wonderful class ! Francesca and Lucca are so kind and patient. Highly recommend them. They share their old family recipes and thoroughly explain the techniques.
Perfect evening! Anna was a very friendly and welcoming host! She welcomed us with a nice selection of apéritives and wine and made us feel right at home. The pasta and tiramisu making process was really fun and we look forward to making them back at home! Everything was excellent and the food was so yummy! We definitely recommend it!
