Overview

Discover Italian cooking inside a stunning 19th-century villa overlooking Lake Como — a setting rich with history, elegance, and charm. Your journey begins with a welcome glass of wine before meeting our Chef, a culinary expert with decades of experience who will share techniques, stories, and timeless secrets from the Italian kitchen.

You’ll prepare fresh tomato sauce with seasonal ingredients, craft handmade pasta from scratch, and create the beloved tiramisù with expert guidance at every step. Then, relax at the table and enjoy the full feast you’ve prepared — from antipasto to dessert, followed by espresso — all accompanied by unlimited wine and great company.

Not just a cooking class, but a true taste of Italy to remember.

What's included

  • You will eat the meal we prepare, all accompanied by wine. This includes a welcome sparkling wine and wines served during lunch.

What to expect

Your class begins with a warm welcome drink from our expert chef, who introduces the menu, fresh ingredients, and professional techniques.

The passionate team guides you step-by-step through authentic Italian dishes, sharing insider tips on local ingredient selection and handling—skills you can use at home.

We start with the foundation: the tomato sauce. You’ll work with fresh tomatoes, focusing on timing and temperature control.

Then it’s hands-on to make fresh pasta from scratch by kneading, rolling, and cutting the dough the traditional way.

The finale is tiramisù. You’ll prepare this iconic dessert layer by layer, mastering the subtle tricks for a perfectly creamy, unforgettable result.

At the end, we gather around the table to savor the exquisite meal you prepared: your handmade pasta with your sauce, concluded with your homemade tiramisù.

An authentic cultural experience to live, taste, and fondly remember.
