Sylivia was a wonderful teacher and Anita was a great assistant! Learned so many little secrets to cooking pasta we never even thought of and tools to use to make it easier! Was a great experience!

Very nice hosts and learned some life skills in pasta making and tiramisu.
You get a nice booklet to take the recipes home with you which is a great touch
Cooking at the Lakes

We spent four hours with Sylvia making pasta and tiramisu. She was a patient instructor as we chopped, rolled, filled and shaped pasta. We had a great group of 8 working together. It was the best day on our trip to the lakes. The location was an hour from Como.
Great experience.

Outstanding experience. Great fun, great food, great people. Must do this! Sylvia was the best along with her master chef!
Absolutely lovely time cooking in Lake Como.

I had a wonderful time cooking with the expert Italian chef during this cooking class. It is absolutely worth doing and when you realize what you get, it is worth every penny. We made tiramisu, ravioli, tortellini, and a noodle pasta. Then you eat everything at the end! It was a wonderful opportunity to meet other travelers and develop a new skill. Highly recommend this activity and Lake Como Food Tours for hosting it. Thank you so much!

It was fantastic. Everyone was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We had to young children 3 and 5 years old. She went out of her way to make this a fun experience for our grand-kids. The class was great and we learned a lot. The lunch following with what we made was also fun.
Great day had by all

Our partner and I did this cooking class and it was wonderful. We learnt how to make pasta and turn it into tagliatelle and ravioli in addition to learning how to make tiramisu. Sylvia was very friendly and approachable and overall the time flew by. Would definitely recommend
Great value!

Sylvia was so fun and generous! Started with a coffee while we waited for the others to arrive at their cafe. Cooking school was set up well! Made pasta, 2 kinds of ravioli and a great sauce and desert. Then got to enjoy the meal we made in their outside cafe seating. A lively day!
