- Wonderful experience- husband and I took the fresh pasta & tiramisu cooking class and had such a great time with Patrizia. The house was beautiful with breathtaking views. Patrizia is an amazing person and very professional- super dedicated to us, teaching us everything about traditional ingredients, tips, seasoning, cooking times, etc. Coffee, and cheese & wine while cooking. Great time. I definitely recommend this class
- We has an amazing experience at the home of Patrizia on our visit to Varenna. She was such a gracious host! She demonstrated how to make fresh pasta, and shared her other cooking tips with us. We were so fortunate to have a private dinner in her lovely home. The food was delicious, and her home was warm and welcoming. It was such a unique experience. She showed us her garden, and we learned about her way of life. The evening spent with her could not have been better. It was the highlight of our trip to the Lake Como area.
- I can't rave enough about Patrizia and Luca! We stumbled upon their cooking class while my family was visiting me in Italy, and it blew us away! Their cozy home overlooking Lake Como was the perfect setting for a pasta and tiramisù lesson, along with chats about local food and traditions. What made it so special was how genuine it felt. Heading into a tiny mountain village to cook and chat with locals is exactly the kind of Italy experience you dream of. We had a blast with Patrizia and Luca, and it's a memory we'll treasure forever. If you're ever around Lake Como, definitely check out Patrizia's class for a taste of real Italian life!
- We had a wonderful time with Patrizia and Luca. They welcomed us into their home like family. We feel confident that we can go home and make fresh pasta and tiramisu now. We shared food, wine and stories. It was an unforgettable evening!
- We booked onto a cooking class with Patrizia and Luca while we were visiting Lake Como. This was absolutely the highlight of our trip! Absolutely stunning location and views. We were welcomed into their home and made to feel like it was our house too. They were so welcoming and friendly with our three-year old. He wanted to take part in the entire cooking class, and we loved that they were supportive of this. The food we made was gorgeous, and we loved being able to make pasta from scratch. Would absolutely recommend this.

Cesarina from 2022Location: Bellano Languages: English and Italian"My life is tied to the lake, this is where I have my roots and where I’m fine. I am a painter, my work allows me to manage time and the kitchen is for me my second workshop, where I can easily create dishes instead of paintings. My two children, now grown up and my husband were those who made me practice and love cooking. Hosting friends during the summer in the garden was an opportunity to understand that receiving guests is a pleasure and a personal enrichment. The ingredients of my recipes are all genuine, from local producers: honey, cheese, fish, directly from the fisherman in Dervio, and vegetables from my garden that my husband cares with passion for many years. Our house is a bit like the houses of the past, the fireplace and the stove allow us to warm up and cook with wood, and I must say that the result of the dishes cooked on the wood stove is very good. Also in the garden we have a kitchen and, in summer, we prepare, cook and always eat outdoors."
