The trip started horribly with poor instructions on how to meet our guide resulting in an hour delay of departure. This is not a cooking class by any stretch of the word. Chef Momi is quite charismatic but did not attempt to teach us anything or talk about any of the food. We chopped zucchini and cleaned mussels with assistant cooks who were pleasant. we did not watch or help with any cooking and were served a lunch that was nice but not great. The description of the class we booked outlined a wonderful, food and learning experience with wine and wonderful foods and that was a lie. Our tour guide was pleasant and informed but that was not the reason we booked this tour.

<p>Had a blast cooking with Momi, the head chef and the owner of the restaurant. We had a great time learning and helping out. Even though my daughter and I are horrible at cooking we still enjoyed the experience and had fun doing something we dont usually do. My wife had the most fun and helped cook some of the dishes. She even cooked for the restaurants customers! The view there is picturesque and breathtaking, so it was a great place for photos as well. I highly reccommend this as it is a great experience, wether you are experienced in cooking or not. I really enjoyed it. Renzo was a great tour guide. He answered every question we had in mind and told us a lot of interesting facts with his vast knowledge about Lake Como.</p>

Our guide Renzo chatted to us all the way to Como on the train giving us a good overview of the area and was willing to answer any questions. After disembarking the train we walked to a street corner where we were picked up by Momi, the chef, in his trusty van and continued to the markets.
Momi was relaxed and cheerful as he collected his fresh produce, asking us if we had any special requests. After which he drove us along a windy road beside Lake Como to the restaurant. The setting was beautiful. We were offered coffee before we entered the kitchen.
We were given various chopping tasks while Momi supervised the cooking of lunch, giving us instructions on how to cook each dish. I have never encountered such a happy, relaxed chef and it reflected in the tempo of all who worked there. We were offered an aperitif while preparing the pasta.
The weather was perfect for sitting outside so we were taken to our table with the most spectacular view of Lake Como. We were offered wine with lunch and then we were presented with several courses we had watched/helped being prepared earlier.
Delicious.
After lunch Momi drove us back to the train station. Renzo was in no hurry to board the train and took us on a walking tour of Como, famous for its silk.
Nothing was too much trouble for Renzo and he was a lovely guide. He even rescued my jacket which I left at the restaurant and returned it to me in Milan.

<p>What can I say. We met Enzo our tour guide at Milan's Central Station. Enzo is local to Como and was able to give us a detailed history of the area. From Milan a short train ride to Lake Como where we met our chef and restaurant owner Momi. We then proceeded to the market where Momi picked up his food he was planning to prepare for his restaurant.<br/>
The restaurant is located directly on Lake Como in a beautiful setting. Momi put us to work cleaning some squid and we got a real feel what goes on behind the scenes. We were given a chance to help with the pasta making machine. not by hand<br/>
We were not too crazy about playing sous chef for a bit but when it was time to eat all I can say is wow.<br/>
A short ferry ride back to Como and a train back to Milan and it turned out be a memorable day.</p>

Step ashore, and head to the venue of your cooking class to meet your personal chef. After a drink and snacks, you’ll roll up your sleeves to prepare a 2-course lunch with dishes from all around Italy. As your chef explains the ingredients, whip up a homemade pasta or risotto, followed by a traditional sweet such as tiramisu. When everything is made, sit down to eat. You’ll learn about the history of the dishes and sip on wine chosen to complement your creations.
