- I recently had the most amazing experience at a mother and daughter duo cooking class in como! From the moment we stepped into their cozy kitchen, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The class was not just about cooking, but about sharing stories, traditions, and a genuine love for food. We learned authentic Italian recipes passed down through generations, and the hands-on experience made it so much fun. The bond between the mother and daughter was palpable, adding an extra layer of charm to the whole experience. By the end of the class, we felt like part of their family. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough - it's a must for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Italian culture and cuisine. Grazie mille Carolina & Simona for the unforgettable memories! P.S Carlota is super cute!
- Overall a warm and welcoming learning experience. Caroline and Simone clearly know what they’re doing teaching through a hands on approach. Definitely an experience that we will carry home with us, connecting us all internationally with the power of a meal. Truly a unique and special experience, would highly recommend.
- Carolina and Simona are the consummate hosts who ensured we felt comfortable and had fun. Carolina’s tomatoe sauce was superb and Simona’s explanations on the process, Italian cooking history, and recs on Italian food and European destinations were fantastic! Our family loved the class and food. Highly recommended!
- The food and the hospitality at the pasta making class were absolutely amazing!! They even picked us up from the train station and made us feel right at home and guided us through the process with so much warmth and enthusiasm. The best part was getting to enjoy the delicious pasta we made together while sipping some wine. It felt like a true Italian feast! I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn how to make authentic pasta and tiramisu while feeling like part of a big Italian family. Buon appetito!
- This experience was amazing! I highly reccomend and will for sure be coming back. Everything from the food and the experience was top notch.
