This was a very intimate class. Carolina and Simone made the experience even better. It was like getting together with old friends. They made the whole thing very special. We sat down for lunch and ate the food we made it was delicious. Such a treat.

We absolutely loved our experience with Carolina and Simona. It was one of the highlights of our trip. They were so friendly and we learned so much about pasta making and Italian culture! This is an absolute must do activity if you are visiting Como!

Carolina and Simona were the most wonderful hosts. From the moment Simona contacted me via text to the time she picked us up in Como and throughout our cooking experience, she was professional, kind and extremely personable. It was a fabulous experience for my husband, daughter and I. I highly recommend them for anyone interested in an authentic Italian pasta cooking experience.

Simona is so encouraging during the class and gave us a lot of tips for our Como trip. And Carolina is a wonderful host, you can tell she’s an excellent cook.

We had an amazing time Carolina and Simona! We had small group, hands on experience. Pasta, polenta and sausage, and the homemade tiramisu were all incredible. This was a highlight of our trip to northern Italy!
