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.

This cooking class was EVERYTHING! Francesca and Luca welcomed my husband, daughter, and I like family. The energy was so warm and inviting that my husband got a little too comfortable walking around their house like he’d been there his whole life 😂. We laughed, cooked amazing food, and made such special memories together. If you’re thinking about booking—DO IT!

Luca met us at the hands monument (Monumento le Mani) and drove us to his and Francesca's beautiful home. From the very beginning it felt like we were visiting with friends we'd known for years; friends just working around the kitchen together to create a delicious lunch. They taught us how to make cheese and speck croissants, fettuccine with minced meat sauce, gnocchi in oil and garlic, and Tiramasu. It all turned out wonderfully but just getting to know Francesca and Luca was the best part. Something special about breaking bread together. The best of our day in Como.
