5.00We had a wonderful experience at this cooking class. The food was absolutely delicious, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow, making the process enjoyable from start to finish. The apartment setting was beautiful and added to the overall experience. We enjoyed it so much that we even purchased a few of the tools to recreate the ravioli at home. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Lake Como!
Solo visit to the Kitchen!

5.00What can I say other than it was absolutely amazing! It’s my first time travelling on my own and just in general in well over 4 years and after booking a last minute trip to Lake Como, this experience well and truly caught my eye! From the moment of walking through the gates to the well laid out Kitchen, our presence was welcomed by both of the lovely hosts! From making the tiramisu to the amazing pasta, they guided us the full way and gave us the Rai’s to do what we want to help us learn. After this cooking and prep was done they took over to really allow us to have the best experience possible. Thank you ever so much for both of your time and efforts today, I will be back again soon hopefully! Grazie!
Unique lunch experience in Como

5.00This was exactly what I was looking for: an intimate, real experience with Italian culture while connecting with new friends from around the world. Genevieve was an excellent host and made it both a fun and educational experience. By the end of it all I felt that I had grown as a chef and a person. Would totally recommend! PS the food was unreasonably delicious. Best food in Italy.
Wonderful experience

5.00I hosted my intimate rehearsal dinner here in June, and it was the most memorable/special experience. Everything is taken care of for you, the cooking was super fun, and the food was so tasty. They go above and beyond to ensure everyone is happy. It was my favorite event of my entire wedding experience :)
