- We had the absolute BEST time with Margherita. From the moment we booked, she was amazing in communicating and helped with parking and finding the location. As soon as we walked in we felt at home. She was so warm and welcoming. Of course, the food was out of this world. We learned so much and only have the best things to rave about. As soon as the experience was over, we wanted to share what we learned with our family and planned a pasta making night for when we get back home. We highly recommend, Margherita!!
- I had a fantastic Italian meal at Margherita's. Lovely starters with local small dishes. The main course was real fresh pasta cooked "aldente" with a lovely meat sauce and the meat based on the family's local recipe. The dessert was a lovely apple cake. I give this dining experience along with Margherita, her boyfriend and her sister and full score !
- Margherita did an excellent job guiding us through the preparation of each dish and explaining in detail what her grandmother had taught her. It was a wonderful time and a great meal!
- My friend and I had wanted to learn to make authentic northern Italian dishes on our first trip to Italy. Margherita was a fantastic instructor. Patient, kind, friendly, and so very knowledgeable, she coaxed nearly perfect ravioli and risotto from our efforts. Her delightful stories of her nonna from whom she learned her skill in the kitchen made for a memorable and delicious evening! We hope to be able to recreate the experience at home with our friends.
- Our cooking class with Margueritha was truly one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we stepped into her beautiful home, we felt so welcomed and cared for. She taught us how to make traditional Italian dishes - including ravioli, meatballs, and the most delicious tiramisu - with so much passion and patience. Beyond the cooking, the entire experience felt like spending an evening with a friend. After preparing everything, we sat down together to enjoy the meal and had the most wonderful conversation. Her boyfriend, Matteo, also joined us and made the evening even more special with his kindness and humor. If you’re in the area, don’t miss this authentic and heartwarming experience!

Where
Margherita
Cesarina from 2024Location: Como 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.
