We had such a fun time cooking with Simona and Carolina, all of the food was delicious and they were wonderful instructors. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone traveling to Italy!

5 stars is not enough to rate our experience with Simona and Carolina. Our cooking class was simply the highlight of me and my wife’s trip to Como. Simona is so friendly, engaging and passionate on what she does. Simona and Carolina welcomed us both into their home and was so hospitable. I would definitely recommend them when taking a trip to Como area.

We had the most spectacular time at our cooking class with Carolina & Simona. I felt like we were in my Nana’s kitchen. Such great techniques we learned and the food was delicious. We had our two little granddaughters with us and they were so patient and loving to them. ❤️. We can’t wait for our next trip to Italy and see them again.

We had a great experience learning local traditions in their beautiful home. We learned how to make pasta from scratch and plan on taking those skills back home with us. The views during dinner were fantastic. Both Simona and Carolina were exceptional hosts, both so inviting. We really enjoyed our experience with them!
