- Esperienza molto piacevole sia a livello culinario che umano, ci siamo sentiti più amici che ospiti. Consigliamo questa esperienza alternativa.
- It was a great evening with Damiano and his friend. They were the best hosts we could imagine. They were generous and caring. They took every effort to accommodate our request for gluten-free and lactose free ingredients. We would recommend everyone to book a class with Damiano.
- It is a pleasure and a privilege to be a guest at Damiano's place. We loved it!
- Damiano, wonderful cook, wonderful teacher, patient, fun, beautiful home, 10/10 blessed that he was our instructor, experience was beyond what I expected, much more enjoyable than i could have imagined, he truly goes the extra mile.
- Damiano was very patient and great at giving step by step instructions on how to make the pasta and tiramisu. He sat with us for a lovely dinner afterwards and shared homemade limoncello. This was the perfect way to end our trip to Italy.

Cesarina from 2020Location: Como Languages: Italian, English, FrenchI have always had a strong passion for cooking that led me first to learn simple and traditional family Sunday recipes, and then to attend the Bellagio Hotel School. A glass of good wine and an excellent dessert, which I am fond of, must never be missing from my table. I try to shop responsibly and, as much as possible, purchase local products such as eggs, vegetables, and meats from local producers. The lake fish I use in my recipes is caught directly by fisherman friends, while I personally collect mushrooms during autumn and preserve them for subsequent seasons. I live in Lomazzo, a small historical village. From my loggia, you can overlook the square of the Baroque Church of San Siro and the "Arco della Pace," where in 1286, the peace treaty between the rival cities of Como and Milan was signed. I open my home to guests who want to learn the secrets of Lombard cuisine and, why not, something about traditional Italian cuisine as well. Lomazzo, considered a working-class village due to the presence of an important cotton mill that for 200 years was the flagship of Italian manufacturing industry (now transformed into an Innovation Hub), is nestled in the Lombard countryside. It serves as a crossroads to easily reach Milan, Como, its lake, and Switzerland, both through the railway station that connects the two Lombard cities in just a few minutes and the convenient highway access. For my guests, in addition to offering them a beautiful experience, I provide free round-trip transfers from Lomazzo to Como by car (max. 4 people) or by train, both from Como (Como Lago Station/Lomazzo) and Milan (Milan Cadorna Station/Lomazzo).
