Marina was so personal. It was just a pleasure. She taught us how to make all different shaped pasta noodles and delicious tiramisu!! We had wine apps 2 different pasta dishes and finished with the tiramisu. One of our most fun tours that we booked!!

We had such a wonderful time with Maria, we instantly felt like we were hanging out with friends we had known a long time. Her home is lovely and all of the food was excellent. I can’t wait to go home and try to make my own pasta! This was the most memorable part of our entire trip and we hope to be able to return again someday.

We highly recommend cooking with Anna. Anna and her husband made us feel so welcome in their home. The food was delicious and the conversation was fun (we don’t speak Italian but their English was good enough to make delightful conversation).

Kris & Kelly

Very nice evening, with a lot of good inside ideas. Our host was really good and gave us a memorable evening we will never forget

Antonietta charmed us even within a few minutes of meeting her with her openness and eagerness to share things about herself and the wonderful lake Como area. She graciously picked my girlfriend and me (it was my birthday gift from my girlfriend!) up from Lecco and drove us expertly through numerous hairpin bends to her home on the mountain above Dervio. While teaching us the fundamentals of making tagliatelle and ravioli, we turned often to look at the breathtaking views of lake Como and the hills around, from her window - which had a magical painting-like quality! The experience was nothing short of surreal. Antonietta's cooking class experience had several simple and thoughful touches to it and she ensured we had a full meal with wine and antipasti and not just what we cooked in the masterclass. We can say it was a complete package with a very engaging teacher to whom the penchant for cooking was inseparable from her personality and her life. All in all, a most wonderful birthday evening after which Antonietta dropped us back at the Dervio station for the last train back to Lecco. Much gratitude to her!
