Shared Experience
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!

Patrizia and her husband Luca are the perfect team to welcome visitors to their beautiful home, engage in easy conversations and cook fabulous food! We were instantly at home with them which made learning the cooking techniques so easy and fun. We can’t wait to get together at home to make the recipes again!

The experience in the cooking class was wonderful. The location was difficult to get to but Patrizia’s home is beautiful. I wish the location was provided before booking.

My husband and I had such an amazing time with Patrizia and Luca. They were such welcoming hosts, and we felt at home immediately! Patrizia was a wonderful teacher, and we can't wait to go home and try to make pasta and tiramisu on our own! Their house offers beautiful views of Lake Como, making for an unforgettable experience. This was easily one of our top highlights from our trip to Italy.

Patrizia was an incredible host and teacher. Her recipes were approachable and absolutely delicious. We feel confident that we can recreate them and impress our friends and family back at home. We wish we could relive this fabulous experience over and over again!

I can’t recommend this cooking class highly enough—it was truly the highlight of my trip to Italy! From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were welcomed into someone’s home rather than just a classroom. Our host was warm, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing not just recipes but also little family stories and traditions that made the whole experience feel so authentic.

"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."
