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.

We had a truly wonderful evening with Margherita and her boyfriend Matteo, learning how to make both original Italian Tiramisu as well as two different sorts of pasta from scratch. We started with an authentic Apperitivo, and after that got to work on the food. Under the kind instructions of Margherita, we learned a great lot about the Dos and Don'ts of Italian cuisine and finished the evening with the fruits of our work, wine and good talks. The most lovely part was the immediate feeling of being at home from the very first second that we entered the apartment as if we've known both for a long time already.

Margherita and her boyfriend Matteo were wonderful hosts. We learned a lot and enjoyed every bit of the experience. It almost felt like we were cooking with friends we'd known for a long time. 10/10 would recommend.

I was very happy with my lesson with Margherita. I wanted to learn traditional recipes and she exceeded my expectations. The class was adjusted to my favorite ingredients and my extended family will be overjoyed this holiday season.

While visiting Lake Como from the USA, I took at pasta and gnocchi class with Margherita in her lovely home. It was one of the highlights of my trip! I learned how to make two fantastic dishes that I will definitely make once home along. The food was only a small part of the experience. Margherita was warm and kind and wanted to truly share what is amazing about Italy. I mostly enjoyed our conversation about life, food, travel, and different cultures. Her English is excellent and she endured my 100’s of questions about Italy, her family, and this area. I would recommend 100%. Thank you Margherita for making this trip so special. Cheers!

I recently took Margherita’s Italian cuisine cooking class, and it was a great experience! Margherita was knowledgeable and made everything easy to follow, even for beginners. We learned how to make a some classic Italian dishes using fresh, quality ingredients. The whole practice was really fun, and I left feeling confident in my ability to recreate the recipes at home. I highly recommend this class to anyone!
