Great evening with Veronica and Luka - We had a wonderful evening with chef Veronica and sous Luka. The food was delicious and we learned many good tips. They made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed our lively conversations . A highlight was being driven by Luka back to the pick up stop and singing Beatles songs!!!

Making memories in Como! - We had a wonderful cooking class experience with Carolina and Simona! I travelled with my sister and our mutual best friend for their 40th birthdays for a fun extended weekend trip to Milan/Como. From start to finish our hosts were a pleasure to hang out with and learn from. The food was delicious and the company was even better! They were even so kind to give us a lift back to Como. Would highly recommend this experience and highly recommend this mother daughter duo! Thanks for an amazing and memorable night!

What a beautiful class - We had a wonderful time! The kitchen is beautiful and the hosts were very knowledgeable and friendly! It was many of our first time in Italy and also making items from scratch and I could not ask for a better experience. You should definitely try this out! Even after many dining experiences it felt so good to end our time here with a home cooked meal. 100000/10 would do again!

Cooking class during Honeymoon - Vincenzo was so so wonderful! My wife, Jessica and I were on the third day of our honeymoon and wanted to try a cooking class. We couldn’t have been more happy with the experience we had with Vincenzo, his wife and his friend! They taught us how to make homemade Italian pasta and Tiramisu. The food was delicious, his hospitality was so gracious and the wine he provided for us matched perfectly! Tons of fun and lots of laughs! Thank you Vincenzo for an amazing experience! We will see you next time we are in Como!

A golden, gluten free time! - We absolutely loved our morning with Anna in Como! We made golden risotto and tiramisu, both of which were done gluten free to accommodate my celiac disease. Anna was so thoughtful and diligent about avoiding cross contamination, which was much appreciated. We will be making the tiramisu for thanksgiving this year to show off our new skills to family! Thank you Anna! 😊

This was a great... - This was a great experience, however, we had a cooking class in Rome and fell in love. The experience was a sit down, comfortable experience, with endless wine at the table and Italian music of our choice being played. It was $75 per person. We paid double for this experience to drive to a pickup spot to be transported 20 min away, no wine unless you asked for it, stood on our feet the entire time and watched "mama" cook the meal. It was just different. The friendliness of family ever, but not the same. Food was 4 compared to the 9 we made scratch to finish in Rome.

Great start disappointing finish - Monica was very personable and helpful. The whole experience was enjoyable. The only issue was the recipes were not printed out to make at home or any way to write down notes about the dishes. She said she would send them and have not even after asking a second time
