An immediate sense of family!

A last minute booking that added so much joy and authenticity to our trip! My husband and I were only in the area for a few days and wanted to take advantage of all that we could. Carolina and Simona were the most gracious and professional hosts. They taught us with such wholesome love for their dishes. We were welcomed into their home and blown away by the immediate sense of family. The food was outstanding but the company was the cherry on top! Thank you Carolina and Simona. John and I are...read more

Home cooking at its finest!

From the start, Simona was very helpful with our travel to their lovely home. She and her mother, Carolina, were very welcoming, patient, and so fun! We learned so much and they shared some of their favorite food and recipes that we will definitely make! We came in as tourists and we left as “family”!

Last minute request turns into a wonderful experience!

My husband and I were only in Como for a couple of days and wanted to make the most of our time there. So we booked the experience very last minute - just the night before. Simona was quick to reach out and help coordinate the location. She was so helpful with all of her information. We were surprised to learn when we arrived that we were the only 2 in the class, so we basically had a private lesson. Simona and her mom were wonderful hosts. Their apartment is beautiful and the food was amazing!...read more

Fantastic food and hosts with a penthouse view of Como

We had an absolutely fantastic evening with Vincenzo and Stefania. Great cooking, great food, and even greater company. Everybody in our group was thrilled with the experience and excited to bring some of our new skills back home!
