Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Various types of pizza (Margherita, Four Cheese, Marinara)
  • Focaccia (Italian flatbread)
  • Tiramisu

I look forward to seeing you in Pradello, Bellano, for an authentic homemade pizza experience, surrounded by the magic of Lake Como. Together we will discover how to make a perfect dough from scratch, using only simple, wholesome ingredients.

Before cooking, we will go to my vegetable garden to pick fresh cherry tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and basil, which will give flavor to our handmade pizzas. After rolling them out and stuffing them, we will bake and enjoy them outdoors amidst the enchanting lake and mountain views. To close on a sweet note, we will prepare a traditional tiramisu and toast with a mountain herb digestive, in a warm and convivial atmosphere. An unforgettable experience among Italian flavors and traditions.

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.

We had the most wonderful cooking class experience with Patrizia! She so kindly welcomed us into her lovely home in Bellano, and we learned so many great tips for making lasagna and tiramisu at home - we are inspired to go home and make it for our friends and family. Patrizia was so welcoming, this was a highlight of our entire trip to Lake Como!

Patrizia and Luca were wonderful. They made our crazy family feel like part of their family. It was such a wonderful experience and they have a lovely home with an incredible view. I can’t recommend this experience with them enough. Patricia‘s recipes are all family recipes that she teaches you to make the way she learned from generations past. Nothing was beyond complication, and she helped every step of the way when needed. Let’s not forget how delicious the food itself was. We will definitely be making those recipes once we’re back home.

Patrizia
Cesarina from 2022Location: Bellano    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."
