Your experience

    Discover authentic Italian cuisine in the charming village of Pradello, in Bellano, with breathtaking views of Lake Como. This hands-on course will guide you through the art of fresh pasta and Tiramisu, two of Italy's most beloved dishes. Start by preparing a creamy Tiramisu, layering ladyfingers soaked in espresso coffee with a rich mascarpone cream. Then, mix flour and eggs to create a smooth dough, roll it out and shape it in your favorite style, just as Italians have done for generations. After cooking, sit back and enjoy your homemade meal with local wine, coffee and traditional liqueurs, all in a cozy, rustic setting. A perfect way to immerse yourself in Italian traditions, delicious food, and the breathtaking beauty of Lake Como.

    What an amazing evening! My husband and I really enjoyed our time with Patrizia and Luca in their home. From the intimate table set for dinner in their garden overlooking Lake Como, to the cooking instructions in her kitchen…it was a delight! I appreciated the professional, informative cooking lesson with Patrizia, and the warm hospitality from Luca. I wanted to experience a true Italian home with a real Italian meal…and this experience delivered it! I hope to return again with friends one day. Be prepared to drive or taxi there, as it is not easily accessible from Varenna, and Patrizia kindly recommended transportation. It was the highlight of our trip to Varenna and I highly recommend it!

    My husband and I just had such a wonderful afternoon doing this class with Patrizia! She and her husband, Luca, were extremely kind and welcoming. I loved learning how to make a local family recipe and about the history of the city. The food was delicious and the views were beautiful! I highly recommend doing this as this was an awesome start to our vacation!

    My husband and I did Patrizia’s cooking class during our honeymoon and it was absolutely incredible! Patrizia welcomed us into her home & made it an unforgettable experience. The food was amazing & the views from Patrizia’s home were beautiful. We had so much fun & couldn’t recommend this class enough.

    The Pasta and Tiramisu cooking class with Patricia was truly the most memorable experience of our holiday at Lago Di Como. Patricia is a master cook, but also an extremely talented artist, and kind woman. Even one year after the experience, I still think about it and write this review. Since our cooking class, I baked more than 30 Tiramisus as we learned from Patricia and all of my family and work colleagues love it! The house is authentic, traditional, modernised, cozy and has a spectacular view over Lago Di Como. This is by far the most beautiful place I have ever been to in my life. As soon as I am back, I will immediately book another class with Patricia.

    We had lovely, memorable time with Patrizia and her husband. It was exactly what I was dreaming of when I looked for a tour combined with a hands-on cooking class. The location, the atmosphere, the friendliness, the tastes and generosity - everything was 5 stars and more. I hope we will be able to come again to Patrizia's house next year !!! Highly recommend !

    "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."
