Como aperitivo fun - We enjoyed our evening with Damien at his place. It was so kind of him to pick us up and return us to our hotel. The aperetivos were excellent and we had a great variety. I can now say I will eat anchovies. We had more food than we could it, and he outdid himself with teaching us certain skills in the kitchen. I would recommend this to all

Wonderful local cooking and eating experience in the perfect venue! - This was an awesome experience. The venue was the hosts' home in downtown Como, looking out over a busy square. Giusy and Elena were warm and wonderful hostesses and made so many delicious aperitifs that we did not need to go to dinner afterward. We were stuffed! Giusy's husband joined us to eat and he made authentic Spritzs for us, as well as sharing his own homemade limoncello, which was the best we have ever had. We are so grateful to have had the chance to experience a slice of local Italian life! Thank you!
