Shared Experience
Your experience

    I can’t wait to welcome you to my home, surrounded by garden and vegetable patch! We’ll start the class by picking fresh seasonal vegetables together, then enjoy a refreshing spritz with Prosecco and Cynar to get in the mood for cooking. We’ll prepare colorful, creative ravioli filled with garden vegetables—not your average ravioli, but a real explosion of flavor and imagination. Next, we’ll make tiramisu, Italy’s most iconic dessert, using quality ingredients and traditional steps. We’ll end on a high note with a typical Italian liqueur or amaro, to toast and taste even more of our culinary culture. Cheers—and long live Italian cooking!

    Our cooking class with Patrizia was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcomed into her home in the most genuine and authentic way. She is an amazing person, a wonderful teacher, and an incredible cook. The food was honestly some of the best we have had in Italy. Everything felt homemade, thoughtful, and full of love. Learning to make pasta and tiramisu with her was so much more than just a class. It felt like a real Italian experience with someone who truly cares about sharing her culture and her food. Patrizia was patient, warm, funny, and made the whole evening feel special. This is the kind of experience we will never forget. I cannot recommend it enough. If you are anywhere near Lake Como, you should absolutely do this.

    Patrizia was an amazing host, she was very patient, kind, and accommodating! We made ravioli, tortelloni, and tiramisu, and we can’t wait to make the recipes again at home. Her house also has an incredible view of the lake and surrounding area, and has a great garden where she grew many of the ingredients for the meal. I would absolutely book a class with her again!

    We had such a wonderful experience in our pasta making class in Bellano. Patrizia welcomed our family of five into her beautiful home, and offered us homemade focaccia and wine and then taught us to make tiramisu and two types of pasta - tortelloni and tagliatelle - and two different sauces to go with them.. We then sat in her lovely garden for a delicious feast of our labors. Patrizia made it seem so easy we were inspired to start making our own pasta at home once we returned to the states. Highly recommend this class. We absolutely loved it.

    We had an absolutely delightful evening at Patrizia’s and Lucca’s house. They were extremely welcoming and friendly and we had great conversations all evening. The food was delicious (focasia was the best!) and the setting in the yard overlooking the lake was incredible. Would highly recommend the experience.

    Patrizia was an incredible host and teacher and overall beautiful soul. I was 4 days in Lake Como and this experience was by far my most favorite of my trip! My 14 yr old niece and I got to cook together with someone who felt like she was our family. In her most beautiful home. We got to enjoy our meal in her amazing garden overlooking the hills and Lake Como and her precious garden. I even had the pleasure of meeting her Dad. This was an experience of a lifetime! I highly recommend booking this experience with Patrizia! She is 10/5 stars!!!

    "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."
