Varenna, a charming gem nestled on the shores of Lake Como, is renowned for its extraordinary beauty and peaceful ambiance. This picturesque village, with its pastel-colored houses, narrow and romantic alleys, and flower-covered terraces overlooking the water, exudes timeless charm. In my kitchen in Varenna, you'll have the chance to immerse yourself in Italian culinary culture, surrounded by breathtaking views and the serenity of this unique and magical place. I look forward to sharing with you our love for food and passion for our rich culinary tradition.

- 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 ❤️
- What a divine Italian culinary experience my husband & I had with Chef Monica, understanding her passion began at an early age, learning from her grandmother. Chef Monica made our visit to Lake Como memorable learning to prepare, cook & consume authentic menu items in 3 hours. Eager to share with friends back home in the USA, Grazie Mille Chef Monica sharing your grandmothers recipes, passion & perfect vino pairing in an authentic Italian venue - medieval winter storage boat house conversion to dining room.
