We had the most amazing experience with Luca and Patrizia. Their home was so warm and comfortable and the couple were so extremely kind and welcoming. We enjoyed making the tiramisu and pasta and all dishes were absolutely delish!! I would highly recommend, one of the best experiences we have had!

It was a pleasure to meet Monica and we were so grateful that she shared her grandmothers recipes with us. it was a very memorable experience.

Patrizia and her husband were very gracious hosts, and we had a great time learning how to make pasta and tiramisu. The views were beautiful, and Patrizia helped us to arrange a taxi driver to take us to the location and back to the port. It was a wonderful experience!

This was our favorite part of our trip to Italy! I highly recommend adding it into your trip! The pasta, the experience and the company were wonderful! Patrizia and Luca are so lovely and welcoming! We first made a delicious tiramisu, tortelloni and then tagliatelle with fresh tomatoes. Their house also had a beautiful view of the lake. Such a once in a lifetime experience, couldn’t say enough good things!

I booked this cooking class as a surprise birthday gift for my partner who loves pasta and loves to cook, and it was a fantastic experience. Patrizia and Luca are awesome, warm and genuine people and made us feel very comfortable in their lovely home up in the hills overlooking the lake. Patrizia gives great instructions and Luca has lots of good stories to keep you entertained - they both have wonderful knowledge of the region generally and Italian cuisine! Patrizia helped me to arrange taxis to and from their place and they both escorted us to and from the taxi in the pouring rain! This was a really special experience and a highlight of our time in Como.

Patrizia and Lucus were amazing host. Lucus is the story teller who kept us entertained. His wife, Patrizia is a wonderful teacher and has a lot of patients dealing with guest who had e never made pasta. We made two types of pasta and tiramisu. All were fabulous. Plus they served us wine and coffee. Their home is built in the 1600s and it’s up in the hills overlooking Lake Como in Bellano. They grow their own vegetables. We were hoping to sit outside but very bad weather. I promise you will thank me for having this family as your instructors. Tips: There are ferry’s which go to Bellano. You will need a car or taxi to bring you to the top so schedule in advance. Plus most ferry’s shut down at 7pm if you have an evening cooking class.

Antonietta is incredible! She was so kind and patient, laid back and easy to talk to, and she made us feel right at home in her beautiful mountainside house just outside Dervio with a vast and gorgeous view of Lake Como below. This was such an authentic and fun experience, and we learned a TON! Antonietta is full of wisdom and a passion for cooking that she is happy to share, and she is an excellent teacher. We left with recipes and techniques that we will keep and cook forever. Truly the highlight of our stay in the Lake Como area! Grazie mille, Antonietta!

What an amazing experience we had with Patrizia and her assistant Gulianna. This was by far our favorites experience in Italy. Patrizia was such a welcoming host and opened her home to our group. Her house has the most amazing view out her veranda. Her recipies were simple and delicious. My friends and I cannot wait to make these dishes again. The weather allowed for us to eat outside in her garden at dusk. It was just breathtaking and will be forever a core memory. I highly recommend this experience. Also note: Patrizia lives in the mountains. Contact her ahead of time and she will give you a list of drivers to drop you off and pick you up.

Antoinetta was such a great host and cook. She taught us so much about food, and was very welcoming. Little tricky to get to as it's up the mountains but awesome views and an unforgettable experience
