5 starts isn’t enough!! My husband and I absolutely LOVED our cooking experience with Simona and Carolina. Such an amazing way to spend one of the last days of our honeymoon. They were amazing instructors, and you can tell they have such a passion for authentic Italian cooking. Their hospitality was unmatched - we have been raving about the entire experience to everyone! I would book a million times over if I could. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!!

I would give six stars if I could! The entire experience was excellent. Simona and Carolina welcomed us into their homes and hearts. And taught us a lot about the food, ingredients and techniques of Italian food, specifically from Lombardy. Simona's love for Italy, it's history and cuisine was very evident. Oh, and the food was great and there was an extra surprise at the end which we all loved. Strongly recommended!

5 stars is not enough to rate our experience with Simona and Carolina. Our cooking class was simply the highlight of me and my wife’s trip to Como. Simona is so friendly, engaging and passionate on what she does. Simona and Carolina welcomed us both into their home and was so hospitable. I would definitely recommend them when taking a trip to Como area.
