Amazing Experience!

This cooking class was just perfect! The views from this location made the cooking class even better! Chef Max was amazing, funny and very informative. The entire thing was really worth the money! Would highly recommend!

Don’t book through a 3rd party

Don’t book through a third party. We had a wonderful time with another couple. At the end of the night I found out they literally paid half of what I did. Lesson learned.

Must do experience in Bellagio

Chef Max was amazing! This is a MUST DO experience!! We made two types of pasta and Tiramisu dessert. After cooking we were able to have wine and enjoy company while Chef Max prepared appetizers, the pasta we made and dessert. The views were amazing as well!

Como cooking Experience

During a father-and-son cooking trip to Bellagio with my 24-year-old son, our “Cook with a View” class with Chef Massimo was unforgettable. Set at Il Perlo with panoramic views of Lake Como, the setting was beautiful. Chef Max’s warmth, humor, and expertise made learning to prepare fresh pasta, gnocchi, and tiramisu both fun and informative. After cooking, we enjoyed a five course meal including our dishes with exquisite sauces he prepared, plated to fine-dining perfection. It was the perfect blend of beautiful scenery, delicious food, and genuine Italian hospitality.

Master Chef Max

Chef Max was incredible! He has been a master chef all over the world and is passionate about his cooking. We have taken numerous cooking classes all over the world and this was by far the best one. Not only was it hands on but Chef Max personally prepares your meal with the pasta/desert that you helped make. The location is also stunning and a shout out to the driver that shuttled us from our hotel in downtown Bellagio to the location of the class. We plan to return for another of Chef Max’s classes next year. Do not miss this one!
