Would recommend to anyone!!

Published on Jan, 2025

My boyfriend and I booked this experience not knowing what to expect but saw that it had brilliant reviews. We were slightly late arriving and greeted by Luca who instantly put us at ease. Patrizia guided us through the tiramisu and pasta making, we both were made to feel completely at home and had plenty of laughs along the way. Not only are Patrizia and Luca hosting a truly brilliant experience (way beyond our expectations) but they are lovely people. It was a pleasure meeting them both. I would honestly recommend to anyone whether going alone or in a group, of any age.

Delicious Food with a Spectacular View

Published on Jan, 2025

This class was the best part of out trip to Lake Como. The food was amazing and the view from Patrizia's home near Bellano was spectacular. There was plenty of advance communication from Cesarine about the menu (we wanted vegetarian) and the location. The small group made it possible to really learn about making pasta and tiramisu. I can't wait to try the recipes again!

A wonderful introduction to Italian cuisine

Published on Nov, 2024

Fabulous experience! Patrizia and her husband Luca are warm and engaging and gave us a wonderful introduction to Italian cuisine. With their instruction and extras we created a sumptuous meal- one that fed our hearts as well as our stomachs. And it was easy to get to their home- just a train ride from Milan and then Patrizia helped us contact a local driver to take us the additional 10min drive up into the mountain. The view of Lake Como amazing, the experience memorable!

Great experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

This small group cooking class was magical! It was everything we wanted! With fresh pasta, tiramisu, appetizers, incredible hosts and all you can drink wine, I could not have asked for more. I will note that this class is in the city of Belano, not Varenna, so be prepared to take a 20-30 minute taxi to this destination if you do not have your own car.

An Amazing Experience I would Do Again!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our host Patrizia was absolutely wonderful. We went to an evening cooking class on my birthday and had the best time drinking wine and learning how to make pasta, focaccia, and tiramisu. The ingredients were fresh and the recipes were simple enough to follow along! If you want to experience authentic home cooking that you can carry with you the rest of your life, this class is a must.
