Hi from Francesca!
Our cooking is primarily inspired by traditional Italian cuisine, featuring iconic dishes such as pizza, lasagna, meatballs, risotto, polenta, pizzoccheri, and various meat preparations. We also have a passion for desserts, including tiramisu, custard-filled tarts, a variety of cakes, and meringues. While deeply rooted in Lombard cuisine, we love experimenting with new flavor combinations, adding a touch of creativity to our dishes.

- Sorry this review is a little late. Life got busy after our trip, but this experience deserves the love. This cooking class was easily one of our favorite parts of our honeymoon. We met Luca in the city center, and he immediately made us feel comfortable before driving us to his and Francesca’s home just outside the city. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like old friends. We learned how to make gnocchi, fettuccine, and tiramisu, and Luca and Francesca were incredibly patient, warm, and fun the entire time. They had delicious appetizers waiting for us while everything cooked, and then we all sat down together to eat, talk, laugh, and enjoy the moment. We had an absolute blast and learned so much, but what stood out most was how personal it felt. By the end, it truly felt like Luca and Francesca were old friends, and they definitely became new ones. A truly special and unforgettable experience. We will cherish it forever.
- On a été reçu chaleureusement. Un bon moment de partage et de découverte avec les professeurs de cuisine, Francesca et Luca. Des succulentes recettes de pâtes faciles à reproduire. La préparation et le repas étaient parfaits. On se sent bien chez eux.
- Thank you Francesca & Luca for a lovely evening. What a fun experience, learning how to prepare real Italian food. The recipes were simple but soooo delicious. You made us all feel welcomed from the moment of pick up, through the cooking experience and sharing the delicious food prepared by all. What a way to finish off in Como. I would 100000% recommend your experience, it was fantastic.
- This was the most amazing experience we had in Italy! They were both so welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable about the dishes we were making and guided us every step of the way. We shared laughter, conversation, and all had such a wonderful time together. If you are in Italy, I urge you to book this unforgettable 5 star experience with the most amazing hosts! Xoxo Morgan
- An Unforgettable Honeymoon Experience! My partner and I took a pasta-making class in Italy as part of our honeymoon, and it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family. The setting was dreamy—rolling countryside, rustic kitchen, and the aroma of fresh herbs and garlic in the air. Our instructor was not only incredibly skilled but also warm, funny, and passionate about Italian cuisine. We learned to make everything from scratch—kneading the dough, shaping the pasta by hand, and pairing it with delicious, regional sauces. It was hands-on, immersive, and surprisingly romantic! We sipped local wine, laughed a lot, and sat down to enjoy our creations at the end. The food was incredible, but what really made it special was the experience of doing it together. If you’re in Italy for your honeymoon—or any special occasion—do not miss this! It’s more than just a cooking class; it’s a memory we’ll cherish forever. Grazie mille! 🇮🇹🍷🍝💕
