Amazing Experience - I hosted my intimate rehearsal dinner here in June, and it was the most memorable/special experience. Everything is taken care of for you, the cooking was super fun, and the food was so tasty. They go above and beyond to ensure everyone is happy. It was my favorite event of my entire wedding experience :)

Italien cooking experience - This is better than 5star… I’ve done many cooking classes when I travel and this is the best. You will have a intimate group with history great technique and wonderful ingredients from their own farm. The views are spectacular. I look forward t coming back❤️

Wonderful Cooking Instructions in Sala Comacina (Lake Como area) - The setting is beautiful, and the kitchen is perfect for a group. Genevieve and Bruce are wonderful instructors and hosts. We learned how to make stuffed ravioli and lemoncello tiramisu. Our meal was rounded out with wonderful appetizers and side dishes prepared by the hosts, along with wine and other beverages.

Amazing Cooking Class with Breathtaking Views - We loved our experience cooking at Lake Como Kitchen with Geneviève & The Lake Como Kitchen Team! The passion and enthusiasm everyone had during the class made for a perfect experience with breathtaking views. The team shares fascinating insights about the Lake Como area and are exceptionally helpful with transportation to and from the class. We will be booking again the next time we come to Lake Como!

Great experiences with Genevieve and Lake Como Kitchen! - I'm a Travel Advisor based in California, and I've had the pleasure of working with Genevieve for two groups I've sent to Lake Como—a group of 14 in September 2024 and another group of 10 in July 2025. Both enjoyed her Cooking and Spritz demo experience, and the feedback has been nothing but glowing. My clients raved about the food, the views, and how much fun they had! Genevieve is also a dream to work with—responsive, organized, and thoughtful. She even helped with ferry schedules and arranged transportation, which made the planning seamless. I look forward to continuing to work with her for any future groups heading to Lake Como. Thank you again, Genevieve!
