- Margherita was so lovely to spend time with! Our group of three learned new cooking techniques and enjoyed our time also learning about Lake Como living. The class was conversational, not rushed, and perfectly catered to our needs.
- Margarita was the most wonderful host from start to finish! Excellent communication leading up to the class, and lots of expertise when giving the class, I have learned a skill for life now and I’m so grateful to have learned it from margarita! I went with my husband and we had the most lovely time, couldn’t recommend this more! Thank you so much 🩷🩷
- Excellent communication in advance to find any dietary requirements and to give clear instructions on location. A sort walk to a warm welcome. Great pre-preparation to maximise hands on cooking. Delicious recipes and plenty of support to get it right. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and one of our holiday highlights. Thank you
- Margherita was very helpful in providing transportation options from Bellagio to Como. She and Mateo were warm, welcoming, and were excellent hosts in their lovely home. With her guidance, we prepared family recipes for meatballs, ravioli, and tiramisu. All were delicious (she did all of the cooking). I especially enjoyed the ravioli cooked in butter and sage which allowed the ricotta and spinach filling to shine. She also provided some recommendations on highlights to see while on the lake. I highly recommend this experience and Margherita to anyone looking for a unique experience while visiting Lake Como! Unforgettable experience.
- Amazing experience, delicious fresh food and wonderful host! We are a family of 7 and all loved our time with Margherita. We had wine, fresh melon and prosciutto to start and then made risotto, fish and fresh pasta finishing off with tiramisu. Highly recommend this experience and booking with Margherita! Her place was easy to find and clean and tidy. We had a large work table which was later transformed to a beautiful dining table to eat at. Margherita made the experience fun and everything was delicious! Highly recommend!

Margherita
Cesarina from 2024Location: Como (CO) Languages: Italian and EnglishSince I was a child, I have always loved cooking, spending hours in my grandmothers' kitchens and learning all their secrets. This passion has become more than a hobby; it is my way of sharing love and creating special moments. Even during university, I would invite friends over for hearty dinners and unforgettable evenings. My cooking style is a blend of influences from my two grandmothers: Southern Italian flavors and Milanese traditions, combined with tastes discovered through travel and living abroad. The result is a "Nonna-style" – generous, comforting portions with a modern and healthy twist. I put love into every dish, combining tradition and innovation to create meals that make people feel at home while offering something new. For me, cooking is the perfect way to bring people together, create precious memories, and celebrate the beauty of the flavors I have encountered on my journey.
