A highlight of Como - Our family was so sincerely and warmly welcomed into Anna’s home in Como! The food that she taught us how to prepare was delicious and we left with many tips on how to recreate such magic when at home. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend to anyone traveling to the area!

Amazing sister cooking duo with a beautiful view! - We had the best time with Anna and Terry. They were so welcoming and hospitable. They taught my husband and I how to make tiramisu and ravioli. We enjoyed our time getting to know them and learning a little bit about their lives as much as we enjoyed the cooking, wine and view.

Our favorite night! - This pasta-making class in the heart of Lombardy, Italy, was the highlight of our trip to Como. From crafting appetizers to dessert and various pasta types, every moment was a celebration of Italian cuisine and culture. Our hosts' warmth and hospitality made us feel like family as they shared stories and insights about the region. This intimate experience, filled with laughter and learning, quickly became the favorite part of our bachelorette celebration. Grazie mille to our hosts for an unforgettable evening!

Cook with Carolina and Simona - So much fun cooking with Carolina and Simona. Their tiramisu recipe is the best. I’ve made pasta before, however, you can never have enough experience making and perfecting your dough making skills. We also made a basic sauce which was served with polenta balls. A wonderful evening in a beautiful apartment and kitchen.
