We had the absolute best time in Patrizia’s home! She provided suggestions for taxi’s to get to her house where the transport was smooth. Her husband was lovely and chatted with us all the entire time. Her views are unmatched and she made cooking so fun! I would highly recommend taking her class! The pasta was incredible and tiramisu was as well. We made 2 pastas with all fresh ingredients and even learned how to color the pasta using fresh vegetables! What a fabulous class that made our trip complete!
Loved the authenticity of the experience! Cooking in her kitchen and eating her garden overlooking lake Como was amazing. Patrica was very helpful and welcoming in her home. Great experience.
We had a wonderful time with Antonietta in Vestreno. It was great learning to make ravioli and it tasted amazing! Antonietta was such a great host and teacher. Would definitely book with her again should we ever come back to Lake Como.
I booked Patrizia's cooking class for me and a friend to celebrate my friend's birthday and it was one of the highlights of our trip! It was such a cool experience to be in a local community high up the mountain. We made tiramisu as a group and pasta individually. During the experience we were provided with some very delicious snacks and wine. It was fun and low intensity which I appreciated. At the end we all ate together which was so lovely. Patrizia was a great host & teacher, and I will definitely be back the next time I'm there. I do recommend that you check with your hotel the best way to get there and back...we stayed in Menaggio and this class was in Bellano. The ferries stopped running to Menaggio pretty early but our hotel gave us instructions on how to return. Patrizia also provided taxi contacts which I again would recommend using since they're been to her home before.
A totally awesome experience. Patrizia opened up her home to the 8 of us and showed us how to make two tasty pasta dishes as well as some incredible tiramisu. Highly recommend the experience, well worth the price just to be able to make and eat dinner high above lake Como with a world class view. Would definitely do this again!!
Great event. Patrizia and Luca opened their home to us and everyone had fun. Eating the food we prepared in their garden was second only to view of Lake Como.
An incredibly great and private experience that we are taking home to Germany from our vacation. We were welcomed very warmly and were able to ask a ton of questions! It was a great experience, we learned a lot and had a lot of fun! Highly recommended Thank you for EVERYTHING!
Patrizia and Luca were wonderful hosts, so kind and welcoming, and it was a delight to learn about pasta making and Italian life from them. Their home is has an astonishing view high above the lake. A great experience!
Such an amazing experience, can’t recommend this enough to anyone visiting near bellagio or varenna. Such great hosts and amazing food and views that can’t be found anywhere else. We had travel issues and Patrizia let us move our class to the next day.
Monica was the perfect host. She was friendly, organized and ready for us when we arrived - with an appetizer and wine! She gave clear instructions and we were able to follow through with her instructions. Once the food prep wass done, we sat down at the table, with more wine! and she took over to finish the cooking, serving us each course.
