Private Experience
Your experience
Join me in Bellano, for an authentic pizza-making experience, surrounded by the breathtaking views of Lake Como. In my traditional home, you'll learn the secrets to preparing perfect pizza dough from scratch, using simple, high-quality local ingredients.
Before we start, we'll head to my garden, where you'll handpick fresh tomatoes, zucchini, eggplants, and basil, adding a true farm-to-table touch to your creations. Then, we’ll shape and top our pizzas, baking them to perfection before enjoying them outdoors in the garden, with stunning lake and mountain views. To end the evening, we'll indulge in homemade Tiramisù and sip on a digestivo made from mountain herbs, sharing stories in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A delicious, hands-on experience to discover the flavors of Italy!

- The Pasta and Tiramisu cooking class with Patricia was truly the most memorable experience of our holiday at Lago Di Como. Patricia is a master cook, but also an extremely talented artist, and kind woman. Even one year after the experience, I still think about it and write this review. Since our cooking class, I baked more than 30 Tiramisus as we learned from Patricia and all of my family and work colleagues love it! The house is authentic, traditional, modernised, cozy and has a spectacular view over Lago Di Como. This is by far the most beautiful place I have ever been to in my life. As soon as I am back, I will immediately book another class with Patricia.
- We had lovely, memorable time with Patrizia and her husband. It was exactly what I was dreaming of when I looked for a tour combined with a hands-on cooking class. The location, the atmosphere, the friendliness, the tastes and generosity - everything was 5 stars and more. I hope we will be able to come again to Patrizia's house next year !!! Highly recommend !
- Food was delicious and Patrizia was such a great yea her and host! She helped us arrange a ride from town. The views of the lake were gorgeous accompanied by delicious food and wine. Can’t recommend highly enough!
- We chose this cooking class as a special honeymoon activity during our first trip to Italy, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, Patrizia and her husband welcomed us into their beautiful home with warmth and genuine hospitality. They guided us through making two types of fresh pasta from scratch, followed by a heavenly tiramisu—every step filled with fun, laughter, and authentic Italian charm. It was not just a class, but a true cultural experience we’ll never forget. If you’re in the area, do not miss this—it’s an absolute must. Thank you, both again for a magical evening!
- Patrizia’s local Italian cooking experience was the highlight of my trip to Lake Como, Italy. I had such a wonderful time thanks to her warm hospitality and the opportunity to learn how to make pizzoccheri, focaccia, and sciatt from scratch, using fresh ingredients from local farmers and her own beautiful garden. I’m so glad I got to learn her amazingly delicious recipes! She also prepared tasty eggplant with tomato sauce, tiramisu, and a special jam pie—what a treat! Her lovely husband made the experience even more special. The garden was absolutely stunning, with a gorgeous lake view, and the table setting was incredibly charming. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention—Patrizia is also a talented painter and creates beautiful hats and purses, which are displayed in her home! If you’re planning to visit Lake Como, especially the Bellano area, and are interested in an authentic local Italian cooking experience, I highly recommend Patrizia through Cesarine.com!

Where
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."
