Enjoyed this class very much. Monica was a great instructor and gave us confidence that we can make these delicious recipes back home. They were all yummy and we liked hearing about the regional specialties. Held in a beautiful setting and enjoyed the social aspect.
Life changing!!

The most amazing experience our family has ever had!! Literally my wife cries when we turned the corner and saw the views done the dinner table in the outdoor garden. Once in a lifetime experience and our older kids will hopefully get to bring there children someday. Can’t say enough what a lovely sole Patrizia is! Book this tour.
Incredible experience!

One of the highlights of our trip to Lake Como! Patrizia and Luca were so welcoming- they had a beautiful home in the mountains and they taught us how to make tortelloni and tagliatelle, both of which were fantastic. Highly recommend this experience!!

Wonderful experience with Patrizia and Luca! First, the homemade pasta and tiramisu was hands down the best we had during our entire time in Italy… and we made it ourselves! But the food was second to Patrizia and Luca’s warm welcoming and absolutely beautiful home and view overlooking Lake Como. In a short 3 hour experience, they made us feel like family and even provided my wife and I a special gift for celebrating with them on our honeymoon. We will forever remember this experience and are so grateful for their wonderful hospitality!
