Hi from Margherita!

Since I was a child, I have always loved cooking, spending hours in my grandmothers' kitchens and learning all their secrets. This passion has become more than a hobby; it is my way of sharing love and creating special moments. Even during university, I would invite friends over for hearty dinners and unforgettable evenings. My cooking style is a blend of influences from my two grandmothers: Southern Italian flavors and Milanese traditions, combined with tastes discovered through travel and living abroad. The result is a "Nonna-style" – generous, comforting portions with a modern and healthy twist. I put love into every dish, combining tradition and innovation to create meals that make people feel at home while offering something new. For me, cooking is the perfect way to bring people together, create precious memories, and celebrate the beauty of the flavors I have encountered on my journey.

Arquerita was an excellent teacher who welcomed into her home. She went above and beyond as a gracious host. We had a great time.

Our experience with Margherita was simply amazing. She was absolutely delightful, great at explaining the steps, and was extremely helpful. Every member of my family enjoyed our time with her. She inquired about diet restrictions, asked about wine, and then ensured our 18yo had the peach and rose tea he fell in love with over there. She kindly shared the recipes with us after our night was over. Great communication before and after our evening. Highly recommend her class to anyone in the Como area!!

Fantastic! This was a surprise for my partner and it couldn't have gone better. Margherita was a perfect hostess. The apartment is beautiful with an amazing view of the lake. From the very start we felt relaxed and comfortable. The conversation flowed easily and we got on very well. She explained how to cook and I even made pasta! It was a very special evening that we shall treasure for a long time. Highly recommend you spend the evening tasting Margherita's delicious food!

We had the absolute BEST time with Margherita. From the moment we booked, she was amazing in communicating and helped with parking and finding the location. As soon as we walked in we felt at home. She was so warm and welcoming. Of course, the food was out of this world. We learned so much and only have the best things to rave about. As soon as the experience was over, we wanted to share what we learned with our family and planned a pasta making night for when we get back home. We highly recommend, Margherita!!

I had a fantastic Italian meal at Margherita's. Lovely starters with local small dishes. The main course was real fresh pasta cooked "aldente" with a lovely meat sauce and the meat based on the family's local recipe. The dessert was a lovely apple cake. I give this dining experience along with Margherita, her boyfriend and her sister and full score !
