Pablo was an excellent host and we had such a great morning learning to make pasta and a leisurely lunch to enjoy it! Highly recommend this experience, the wine was devine (an added bonus that Pablo is also a sommelier!) and the setting is gorgeous.

This was such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Arianna was so patient and kind and taught us so much. We had a five year old with us who was enthralled with everything she was learning. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone of any age.

This was such a fun addition to our trip. We learned how to make pasta and then we able to try them. We were a little late to the class because of some confusion on location, however our instructor was so kind and waited for us. The food was delicious, the view was amazing, and I would highly recommend.

Arianna was a very generous teacher and host. We had a wonderful time learning about pasta and her town of Tremezzo. She took us to the back garden and she harvested some fresh tomatoes and fresh herbs to use in our dishes. She also offered to take photos of us throughout the class. Highly recommend based on Arianna’s guidance and generosity alone! Note that we did the dinner class which does not have the location well indicated on the Trip Advisor website. We called in advance to make sure we were headed to the right location. We had to do additional research to ensure making our ferries. Luckily Arianna was very helpful with this as well.

Paolo is an amazing host and teacher! He taught us to make two different types of pasta which both tasted excellent. All of the staff were so helpful and welcoming - they set us up a table outside with an amazing view of the lake from the hotel. Everything about this experience was amazing and we could not recommend it enough!

The host/chef was terrific! He offered us history, culture and his passion for cooking as we made our 2 different pastas with him. He turned it into the best lunch out in his garden with a glass of wine. We were very happy to have Paulo join us for desert as we got to chat some more. We are excited to go back to the states and make our own pasta!

Such a wonderful experience! We were unfortunately late due to traffic and the chef was so kind! He was so knowledgeable and the food as DELICIOUS😍 thank you so much for this great afternoon!

If you only do one activity in all of Italy, do this one! Such a wonderful experience from start to finish and I can’t say enough good things about our gracious host and teacher! He shared his love of cooking, wine and stories of his wonderful hotel Loveno (which was the most beautiful location for this class). When I come back, I will try his wine tasting class! This is sure to be a top travel memory for you!

Let me first say that we had a very good time at the actual cooking activity itself and our chef was wonderful. Arianna was lovely and we enjoyed her class immensely. What we didn’t enjoy was that we spent ALOT of money getting to the class location because we were given the wrong address. If you know the Lake Como area, you know that it is very spread out. We chose the dinner class and diligently set up private transportation, (which is very expensive-no Ubers or regular taxis here). The address we received to meet at was wrong. We showed up at this hotel, and thankfully the hotel employee said she had encountered this several times repeatedly and had taken it upon herself to give us poor tourists showing up at the wrong address, the “correct” address. (And to this moment as I write this review, the correct address STILL has not been corrected online). We were told that the actual address we needed was 10 additional minutes away. We literally had to run after our transport car that had almost reached the end of the driveway and bang on the back and thankfully our driver stopped and agreed to take us to the correct address. It was extremely confusing so I’m not sure whether trip advisor or whomever the tour company they use was at fault, but it was not a pleasant experience. There are dozens of these cooking classes offered all over the area and I would suggest not going through Trip Advisor to book. Sorry Trip Advisor, you or whomever you contract with dropped the ball on this one.

Wonderful pasta making class in Lake Como! Marianna was an expert in not only demonstrating how to make specific pasta, but was excellent when it came to also assisting us in making the pasta. Best part was eating the final creation at the end. Would recommend this class to everyone!
