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.

Our group cooking class actually turned out to be a private cooking experience for our honeymoon with Patrizia and Luca! We had a blast learning to make Tiramisu from scratch and making homemade pasta of multiple varieties! We were also able to learn so much from them asking just about any question we had about Italy and Lake Como we could think of + perhaps we taught them a thing or two! We truly did not want to leave at the end because we had so much fun chatting. Oh, and the food was awesome! Wine, meat, cheese, homemade focaccia, tortelloni, tagatelli, tiramisu are surely to leave you feeling satisfied! Would love to do it again and will recommend this to any friends or family that visit Como! Truly an authentic Italian cooking experience!

This was an amazing experience!!! Had such a good time, love that it was so authentic and got to experience a cooking class in someone’s cozy home, and that they taught us there families homemade recipes! Patrizia was so amazing herself, welcoming us in her home with the beautiful breathing views! Also so was so sweet and helpful. Overall, we had a amazing experience, highly recommend!

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.

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."
