Your experience
- Tagliatelle with Pesto Sauce
- Tagliatelle with Fresh Tomato and Basil Sauce
- Chocolate Lava Cake
Join me to explore the art of traditional Italian cooking with a fresh, authentic twist. We’ll start by making homemade fresh egg pasta from scratch to create tagliatelle, served with two classic sauces: a vibrant Genovese pesto and a light fresh tomato and basil sauce. Using fresh ingredients, many picked from my own garden, we’ll bring bright colors and genuine flavors to every dish. To finish, we’ll prepare a warm chocolate lava cake—a perfect sweet ending to this experience. Everything will be paired with a glass of wine, all enjoyed with stunning lake views from my hometown of Pradello. I can’t wait to welcome you!

- We recently did a cooking class with Patrizia for our honeymoon! She was so professional and kind! She was even flexible with changing our booking when we had travel troubles. We did a class with two other people and had a great time getting to know them! It was such a fun, rewarding experience and we can’t wait to try the recipes on our own at home! We highly recommend Patrizia, she is the best!
- Our Cesarine cooking class with Patrizia and Luca in Bellano was one of the absolute highlights of our 10-day trip to Italy! From the moment we arrived at their beautiful home, we felt as welcome as old friends. The house itself was lovely, with an incredible view overlooking Lake Como that made the entire experience feel magical. Patrizia taught us how to make pasta completely from scratch, including delicious linguini, tortellini, as well as tiramisu. We had so much fun learning the techniques, sharing laughs, and getting our hands into the cooking. And the best part was sitting down together afterward to enjoy a wonderful dinner made from the pasta we had prepared ourselves, followed by our homemade tiramisu. Patrizia and Luca are the perfect example of genuine Italian hospitality. Their warmth, generosity, and passion for food made the experience feel much more like being invited into the home of friends than attending a cooking class. If you are visiting Lake Como, we highly recommend spending an afternoon with Patrizia and Luca. The food, the setting, the instruction, and especially the hospitality made this an unforgettable experience and truly one of the highlights of our entire Italian trip.
- Absolutely delightful time sharing Patrizia’s house and learning to make pasta and tiramisu. She was so helpful and adding the wine we had made us feel like family. The outdoor garden was a special place to enjoy the meal we made.
- My friends and I booked a 3 hour cooking class with Patrizia to make a stuffed pasta and tiramisu and it was fabulous! She helped us get to her house by recommending a couple of local taxi drivers who drove us up the hill to meet her. When we arrived she was warm and welcoming and brought us into her home where we gathered around a table in her kitchen to begin cooking. We began making Tiramisu, taking turns making each part of the dish, while Patrizia talked us through the steps, explaining the 'what' and 'why' of the ingredients and the methods she used. Once that was finished, we each learned how to make pasta for tortelloni at our own little pasta making stations. We rolled, filled and shaped them under her guidance and gentle coaching. After the food was prepared, we were invited to the garden, which had an exceptional view of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains, to sit at the table while Patrizia cooked our pasta in a couple of different sauces she had prepared ahead of time. We were then served each of the dishes we had made, along with some lovely bread and wine, and were allowed to enjoy what we had created. It was an experience we will not forget. Patrizia's pleasant, soft spoken manner, and wonderful chef skills, make her the perfect Cesarina! She also happily shared her family recipes with our group :).
- My family, including 3 adult children, had the most amazing time with Patrizia in her beautiful home. From making the food to eating at the gorgeous table set up it was 5 star. The ingredients, the food, and the hospitality were top tier! I would recommend this experience to anyone. It was once in a lifetime!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Bellano (LC) Languages: English and Italian"My life is tied to the lake, this is where I have my roots and where I’m fine. I am a painter, my work allows me to manage time and the kitchen is for me my second workshop, where I can easily create dishes instead of paintings. My two children, now grown up and my husband were those who made me practice and love cooking. Hosting friends during the summer in the garden was an opportunity to understand that receiving guests is a pleasure and a personal enrichment. The ingredients of my recipes are all genuine, from local producers: honey, cheese, fish, directly from the fisherman in Dervio, and vegetables from my garden that my husband cares with passion for many years. Our house is a bit like the houses of the past, the fireplace and the stove allow us to warm up and cook with wood, and I must say that the result of the dishes cooked on the wood stove is very good. Also in the garden we have a kitchen and, in summer, we prepare, cook and always eat outdoors."
