Our cooking class experience with Simona and Carolina was the highlight of our stay in Como. Simona (daughter) and Carolina (mother ) were such a great team to teach us how to make traditional dishes.The class we took was the one that Simona and Carolina developed themselves on the use of different flours. We learned so much while making ravioli, polenta with sauce and dessert. Simona speaks English perfectly and was excellent at explaining everything and answering our questions. Both were very patient and helpful while teaching us the skills for homemade pasta. Following the cooking we were able to enjoy our meal in their lovely home with incredible views. It was a delightful evening where we learned so much about cooking as well as the Italian lifestyle. Thank you so much from Mike and Judy

The mother and daughter were both a complete delight! We learned a lot, and had great fun doing it. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. And the meal (that we helped prepare) was fantastic!

This was truly the best experience. You leave with great knowledge of pasta making, but the best part is the joy this mom and daughter duo provides. We already had a huge hiccup with the booking and they were the most patient and kind people I have ever met, helping us figure everything out. This class made many laughs and a lifetime memory.

We had the best time today sharing our day with both you and your mom. I loved learning how to make the pasta and felt like we were family by the end of the time together! You were both a delight and would do your class again!

This pasta making class was amazing! Carolina and Simona were so friendly and personable. We learned to make a couple different kinds of pasta and tiramisu. They both were delicious. Their home is lovely and has amazing views of the mountains!
