We had an amazing time making Ravioli and tasting as well. Simona and Carolina were divine and I would book with them again.

We had a lovely time with Simone and Carolina at their home! The food was great also. Simone is a very patient and good cook - food was great despite our cooking skills. View was fantastic from the apartment. Highly recommend! Keep in mind though that the home is about 10k out of Como. We had planned another tour and needed to rearrange when found that out. Carolina picked us up downtown Como.

Amazing experience, really welcoming and kind. A beautiful home! Took lots of pictures for us and the food and wine was delicious! We learnt a lot about Italian culture and it was brilliant to be emerged into real Italian culture. Couldn’t recommend enough !
