Nestled in the heart of Varenna, among charming cobblestone alleys that lead to the lake, lies a truly stunning location: an ancient inner courtyard that once served as a medieval boat shelter dating back to the 1200s. It’s here that Cesarina Monica warmly welcomes her guests for a traditional Italian cooking class in a setting that feels like a step back in time.
During this intimate and hands-on workshop, you’ll learn to prepare iconic Italian dishes—fresh pasta and tiramisu—from scratch. With a small group, you’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and dive into the secrets of Italian cuisine. After the class, sit down to enjoy the delicious meal you’ve created, accompanied by a glass of wine, good company, and the charm of one of Varenna’s most magical corners.

- Abi and I took at class with Monica in her cooking studio. The history of the space was very charming. The class was so fun! We learned to make ravioli and tiramisu and it was so easy! Will definitely make this at home! She did a fabulous job of teaching us her grandmothers recipe and then we had a fennel Salad, our homemade raviolis and dessert which we made all of it. So delicious! Monica was so friendly as well!
- We had a wonderful time with Monica who helped us learn how to make some delicious pasta and tirimisu. She was great company as well and made us feel right at home. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
- We had the most wonderful experience with Monica. She went out of her way to accommodate us with a later time when our initial flight was cancelled. She taught us how to make 2 types of pasta and tiramisu. The food was delicious and we are looking forward to treating our friends and family to some authentic Italian cuisine. This was one of the best experiences we had while visiting Italy. We highly recommend.
- Monica made the preparation easy and enjoyable. The finished meal was exceptional, especially the ravioli. The setting was a perfect little grotto-like room. Colorful linens and pretty crystal ware. Nice!
- This was such a great experience. Monica is so knowledgeable and a great host and cooking teacher. We had a blast and would recommend this class to anyone looking for a cozy and authentic cooking class!
