We’re now pasta pros - Carolina and Simona made the night so much fun. One of our group had difficulty standing and they were so accommodating. We really enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot. Plus got to eat a great meal!

Wonderful experience for kids and adults - We had absolutely the best time with Sara! We came with two children ages 9 and 11 and she was absolutely perfect with them. She treated them with warmth and kindness and respect and included them in all aspects of cooking. We were so touched by how kind and understanding she was of our kids and their ages. We all had the best time. We learned so much. Sara had everything ready for us when we arrived. We were able to immediately get right into it and we got to chit chat and get to know each other while we cooked. She chose recipes that were perfect for our children and our dietary restrictions. She was patient and made everything fun. I would very very highly recommend this experience.

Wonderful Italian cooking class! - My friend and I took this fabulous class with Simona and Carolina. We had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed the warmth of being welcomed into a real Italian family's home. They were very well-organized and showed us great tips and tricks to make velvety and delicious tiramisu and the best pasta I've ever made! It was so good and we really enjoyed the kind and warm personalities of the mother-daughter team. They were great and I'd highly recommend this experience!

Fabulous food class - We were instructed but totally hands on - and the pasta and tiramisu were amazing. Loved talking to Simon and Carolina - they were delightful and made us feel so at home, in their home.

You’ll never take pasta for granted again! - Simona was delightful and her kitchen was spacious and bright. We felt like we experienced an authentic part of Italian culture in the beautiful hills above Lake Como.

Excellent Experience!! - We just finished our cooking class with Carolina and Simona, and we could not be more thrilled! This is not just a cooking class. This is a total immersion into the Italian lifestyle of our wonderful hosts. We talked, discussed, learned, prepared, cooked, and dined on our own creations of delicious meat & cheese filled ravioli, and tasty polenta and sausage dish, and a scrumptious Tiramisu dessert. Carolina and Simona were very patient and kind while allowing us to learn and helping us where needed (and we did need help along the way). We also got to meet Charlotte (Charlie), their 1 year old mini poodle, which was such a pleasure since we have two mini poodles of our own. To sum it up... Excellent cooking instruction, great conversation, and a wonderful evening spent with new friends. Thank you very much!!

Don't book it - The address that we were provided for the cooking class was bogus. Also the contact phone number was not helpful. We called the contact number 20 times and never received an answer. Thankfully, Viator did refund us the cost of the cooking class. The experience of going to a nonexistent cooking address was very stressful and it ruined our day in Como.
