Experience Details

Step into a beautiful penthouse with stunning views of the Swiss Alps, Lake Como, and Monte Rosa. Immerse yourself in the flavors of Lombardy as you learn to work with traditional local flours—polenta, buckwheat, and "fioretto" yellow flour. Under expert guidance, create a delicious appetizer, fresh pasta, and a mouthwatering dessert.


Enjoy the process while savoring red and white wines perfectly paired with each dish. The experience culminates with a glass of homemade limoncello made from organic lemons.


Leave with not only newfound culinary skills but also authentic recipes to impress friends and family. This is more than a class; it’s an unforgettable culinary journey that brings the true taste of Italy right to your table.


Hosted by Cesarine, Italy’s oldest network of passionate home cooks, this unique class offers an authentic perspective that no restaurant can provide. Join us to cook, taste, and experience Como like a local!
