- We absolutely loved our experience with Carolina and Simona. It was one of the highlights of our trip. They were so friendly and we learned so much about pasta making and Italian culture! This is an absolute must do activity if you are visiting Como!
- Carolina and Simona were the most wonderful hosts. From the moment Simona contacted me via text to the time she picked us up in Como and throughout our cooking experience, she was professional, kind and extremely personable. It was a fabulous experience for my husband, daughter and I. I highly recommend them for anyone interested in an authentic Italian pasta cooking experience.
- Simona is so encouraging during the class and gave us a lot of tips for our Como trip. And Carolina is a wonderful host, you can tell she’s an excellent cook.
- We had an amazing time Carolina and Simona! We had small group, hands on experience. Pasta, polenta and sausage, and the homemade tiramisu were all incredible. This was a highlight of our trip to northern Italy!
- My experience had more than met my expectations. I have always wanted to take a Italian cooking class at someone's home. Carolina e Simona were so welcoming I felt I was visiting family . The hands on class was excellent. I learned so much information on the art of cooking that it would have taken me weeks to acquire. I would encourage anyone to take this class. You would learn so much. The food was authentic and delicious. Bravo Carolina e Simona
