: My fiance and I thought this cooking class was such a fun activity on our Lake Como vacation. Monica was so sweet, the space was so unique, and the food was absolutely delicious. It was one of the best things we ate on our entire trip! The reason for the 4 stars is the class was a tad rushed as we were told we would miss the ferry back to Bellagio. Although we had the ferry schedule and knew there would be multiple ferries running, we listened to her as we were not local. It's possible it was an honest mistake, however it made the class a bit rushed which was disappointing. On a side note, I assumed we would also be cooking the pasta, but it's actually only making the past as stated in the description. Even with that, this was still a wonderful experience and I would love to eat that pasta again.
: We were very happy and pleased wit our time and Monica She made our day very special and we enjoyed so much. Can’t wait to cook for my family at home :) I can recommend for everyone ❤️
: Our evening cooking event with Monica was the highlight of our trip to Varenna. Monica is a wonderful teacher and we felt welcomed as well as encouraged to use our newly discovered cooking talents. I can not say enough or recommend more highly to others our experience with Monica through Cesserine. .
