    If you don't like gluten, you can't help but appreciate the goodness of pizzoccheri, a product that symbolizes our local cuisine. The recipe for this handmade pasta has been handed down from generation to generation. With local ingredients, gluten-free buckwheat flour, casera cheese, vegetables, and secrets that I will be happy to explain to you during the cooking class, we will serve this delicious dish.

    Discover the recipe for tiramisu, with a trilogy of variations: coffee, fruit, pistachio, and chocolate. The most desired dessert in the world with increasingly delicious ideas and flavors. Enjoy a delicious dinner in the garden during the long summer evenings, as the sun sets behind the mountains.

    Patrizia was absolutely fabulous! This class was so much fun for me and my husband and everyone else in the class. There were six of us total and we didn’t know each other, but it was a load of fun. We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu. She is a great teacher! If you want to dine outside above the most beautiful view of Lake Como this class is for you!

    Patrizia was the PERFECT Choice for our first trip to Lake Como and cooking class!! Not only was she extremely kind, generous and accommodating but she helped us navigate prior to our class and made sure we had zero issues booking or navigating. The class was so fun and informative and the meal was perfect! I wish I could do this every day, such a wonderful experience that left is with a lasting impression.

    We recently did a cooking class with Patrizia for our honeymoon! She was so professional and kind! She was even flexible with changing our booking when we had travel troubles. We did a class with two other people and had a great time getting to know them! It was such a fun, rewarding experience and we can’t wait to try the recipes on our own at home! We highly recommend Patrizia, she is the best!

    Our Cesarine cooking class with Patrizia and Luca in Bellano was one of the absolute highlights of our 10-day trip to Italy! From the moment we arrived at their beautiful home, we felt as welcome as old friends. The house itself was lovely, with an incredible view overlooking Lake Como that made the entire experience feel magical. Patrizia taught us how to make pasta completely from scratch, including delicious linguini, tortellini, as well as tiramisu. We had so much fun learning the techniques, sharing laughs, and getting our hands into the cooking. And the best part was sitting down together afterward to enjoy a wonderful dinner made from the pasta we had prepared ourselves, followed by our homemade tiramisu. Patrizia and Luca are the perfect example of genuine Italian hospitality. Their warmth, generosity, and passion for food made the experience feel much more like being invited into the home of friends than attending a cooking class. If you are visiting Lake Como, we highly recommend spending an afternoon with Patrizia and Luca. The food, the setting, the instruction, and especially the hospitality made this an unforgettable experience and truly one of the highlights of our entire Italian trip.

    Absolutely delightful time sharing Patrizia’s house and learning to make pasta and tiramisu. She was so helpful and adding the wine we had made us feel like family. The outdoor garden was a special place to enjoy the meal we made.

    "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."
