: If you’re visiting Lake Como, this experience is an absolute must. Spending Valentine’s Day in the home of this wonderful Italian couple was one of the most memorable moments of my trip. They welcomed me like family, shared generations of authentic recipes, and made the entire cooking class feel incredibly personal and intimate. I didn’t just learn how to make delicious Italian dishes—I learned the stories, traditions, and love behind them. Their passion for cooking and hospitality shines through in every detail, making the experience feel truly special. This wasn’t just a cooking class; it was an unforgettable cultural experience that I’ll cherish forever. I left with new skills, incredible memories, and a deeper appreciation for Italian cuisine. I recommend this experience 10 out of 10 without hesitation. If you’re looking for something authentic, meaningful, and full of heart while in Lake Como, book this—you won’t regret it. ❤️🇮🇹🍝 Se visiti il Lago di Como, questa esperienza è assolutamente imperdibile. Trascorrere San Valentino a casa di questa meravigliosa coppia italiana è stato uno dei momenti più memorabili del mio viaggio. Mi hanno accolto come uno di famiglia, hanno condiviso ricette autentiche tramandate da generazioni e hanno reso l'intera lezione di cucina un'esperienza incredibilmente personale e intima. Non ho solo imparato a preparare piatti italiani deliziosi: ho scoperto le storie, le tradizioni e l'amore che si celano dietro di essi. La loro passione per la cucina e per l'ospitalità traspare in ogni dettaglio, rendendo l'esperienza davvero speciale. Non è stata una semplice lezione di cucina, ma un'esperienza culturale indimenticabile che porterò sempre nel cuore. Sono andato via con nuove competenze, ricordi meravigliosi e un apprezzamento ancora più profondo per la cucina italiana. Consiglio questa esperienza senza esitazione: voto 10 su 10. Se cerchi qualcosa di autentico, significativo e ricco di passione mentre sei sul Lago di Como, prenota subito: non te ne pentirai. ❤️🇮🇹🍝
: We had the most incredible time with Luca and Francesca! Leading up to our cooking class, Francesca was responsive and attentive. When we arrived, we were met with a warm welcome from her husband, Luca. After quick introductions, we got to work, all the prep was already done, so we focused entirely on the fun parts of cooking a classic Italian meal. From the best tiramisu to homemade stuffed pastas and ham-and-cheese croissants, the meal was exceptional. Easy enough to feel replicable when we return home, but authentic enough to feel like we’d stepped into the kitchen of an upscale place only locals would know about. The couple spoke excellent English, were both fantastic teachers, and immediately put us at ease. The cooking unfolded effortlessly, paced between slices of caprese and wine they’d prepared ahead of time. By the time we sat down to eat, we felt like we were sharing a meal among old friends, not finishing a booked class. Francesca and Luca set themselves apart not only with their deep knowledge of Italian cuisine, but with their genuine warmth - their love for each other, for hosting guests from all over the world, and for the food they share. We can’t recommend them enough, and can’t wait to share a meal with them again.
: We booked a family cooking class with Francesca. Our children our teenagers sinks enough to participate well. We were in the area for holiday. Francesca and Luca are lovely and not only did we learn how to make traditional pastas and tiramisu but we enjoyed their company and learning about their culture. They are professional and hospitable. Highly recommend.
: Three of us took the cooking class. We enjoyed ourselves so much! The food was wonderful and we really liked talking with Francesca and Luca as we ate the food we had just made. Highly recommend the class!!
: Fransesca and Lucca were simply wonderful. Her instructions were clear and helpful. She and Lucca both spoke very good English. They were so kind and sweet. I can’t speak highly enough of them.
