Ravioli
Tiramisu

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!

: Patrizia is warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive. She instantly made us feel at home, and her thoughtful attention to detail made the experience truly special. Cooking together in her beautiful kitchen was such a joy — learning to make fresh pasta by hand was fun, hands-on, and something our whole family loved. The food we prepared was absolutely delicious! We also really enjoyed spending time in her lovely garden, with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the meal we had just created. A special highlight was chatting with Patrizia’s husband, Luca, who shared wonderful stories and gave us an even deeper appreciation for local life and traditions. This wasn’t just a cooking class — it was a meaningful, authentic experience that gave us a true taste of Italy, both in flavor and in spirit. We’ll never forget it. 100% recommend to anyone visiting the area!
: Patrizia is warm and welcoming from our first interaction. She is super helpful and thoughtful. We loved our cooking experience and being welcomed into Patrizia’s garden and home. Making the pasta was so much fun and it was delicious! The views over the lake from the garden are truly magnificent. 100% recommend the experience to everyone!
: Taking Patrizia’s cooking class was an absolute highlight of our time in Lake Como. From the moment we arrived at her beautiful mountain home, perched high above the lake with panoramic views, we knew we were in for something special. Her home is nestled in a charming, authentic Italian mountain village that feels untouched by time. The setting alone is worth the visit — sweeping views of Lake Como below and the peaceful silence of the surrounding hills. What makes this experience so exceptional is Patrizia herself. Warm, welcoming, and incredibly passionate about food, she opened up her kitchen — and her heart — to us. We started with a walk through her lush garden, where she grows nearly everything she cooks with: vibrant tomatoes, fragrant herbs, zucchini blossoms, fresh lettuces, and more. You can truly taste the difference that fresh, home-grown ingredients make. The recipes we learned were simple, traditional, and full of flavor — the kind of food you dream of when you think of Italy. Patrizia guided us through each step with patience and joy, making it approachable even for beginners. It felt like we were cooking with a dear friend. The class was intimate, with just a few of us around the kitchen table, sharing stories, sipping wine, and laughing while we cooked. And when we finally sat down to eat — with the sun setting over the lake and the mountains glowing in golden light — it was nothing short of magical. If you’re looking for a truly local, heartfelt experience that captures the essence of Italian hospitality, Patrizia’s cooking class is not to be missed. It’s more than just a class — it’s a memory that stays with you long after the last bite.
: The Absolute Highlight of Our Trip to Italy! If you are even considering taking a cooking class in Italy—do not miss this one with Patrizia. It was hands-down the highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we stepped into her beautiful home, nestled among a lush vegetable garden with views that truly take your breath away, we knew we were in for something special. Patrizia is not only a phenomenal cook but an incredibly warm and generous host. She taught us how to make two types of pasta completely from scratch, and walked us through the magic of creating a tiramisu so simple, yet so unforgettable that I genuinely cannot wait to recreate it at home. The flavors were exquisite—pure, fresh, and deeply satisfying. She went above and beyond at every step. While we cooked, she served us a gorgeous Italian Pinot Noir and the most delightful focaccia to snack on (baked by her, of course). She brought out a selection of cheeses, shared her homemade pesto, and even prepared a tomato sauce for our pasta using her personal stash of tomatoes—just tomatoes, nothing else, and it was divine. Every ingredient had a story, often one that began in her own garden. And when the meal was ready, we sat down at her outdoor dining table overlooking the hills, soaking in the golden evening light—it was truly postcard-perfect. To top it all off, Patrizia sent us beautifully written recipes afterwards, and even gave us thoughtful restaurant advice for our next day's trip to Milan. Her kindness, expertise, and passion for food made this an unforgettable experience. If you love Italian food, genuine hospitality, and unforgettable memories—this is the experience for you. Thank you, Patrizia! 💫🇮🇹🍷🍝
: Patrizia and her husband were great hosts. They live in such a beautiful location and they are wonderful people. We brought our whole family and we really enjoyed meeting them, spending time with them and learning from them. Everyone enjoyed the experience and the food was wonderful too. I would highly recommend this experience.

"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."
