Como: Home Dining & Live Show Cooking with a Local by Cesarine

We traveled to Anna Marie’s lovely home where we were treated as family. She and her son (who is also a chef) prepared a delish meal which I’m guessing was 5or 6 courses. Loved every minute of it and would highly recommend.

My husband and I started out our wedding anniversary with a cooking class in Como, having the beautiful Morena Menegazzo showing us the pinnacle of Italian hospitality and cuisine. She welcomed us into her home and took her time with our class, truly encapsulating her kindness. She was so open to showcasing amazing produce she grew or made. I recommend this service to those wanting a genuine experience of meeting locals and being involved in the culture.

My daughter and I took the train from Venice and had quite the day of it. They made the pick up and drop off seamless. The hospitality was felt immediately. Coming from the U.S it would seem strange to have a complete stranger in your home within minutes of meeting them. We were met with genuine Italian hospitality. The polenta cookies were something I’d never made or had before and were excellent. The use of buckwheat in the pasta was also a first for us. Very educational, informative and if you have some time in Como I would highly recommend experiencing this class. Good luck with your residency Simona

We loved our evening and our host Bea was superb. The food she prepared that we helped a little to prepare was so delicious. She was excellent company and gave us some great recommendations too.

I had an amazing time with the hosts! It was accompanied by a bottle of prosecco, homemade pie and pasta. Highly recommended🙂

Vincenzo and Stefania were so lovely and entertaining. We felt at home with them. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We rarely cook as a team, Vincenzo and Stefania made it a very special night. Tiramisu and pasta making was the experience we will never forget.

I would rate this experience 10 stars if I would! The cooking class was incredibly easy to follow as Carolina and Simona are great teachers. Their family is extremely friendly and amazing people. They picked us up from Como Historic district, took us to their beautiful home, and taught us how to make an incredible dish & dessert. Carolina also made us a surprise and it was one of the best things I've had in all of Europe! Highly highly reccomend taking their class.

We had a wonderful time with Carolina and Simona! They were gracious hosts and provided a great experience in pasta making and Italian culture. It was one of the highlights of our trip! This is a must do activity if you are visiting the Como area!!!

Wow, what an absolutely amazing experience to learn from and dine with Carolina, Simona., and Antonio (Carolina's very kind husband) We were welcomed into their beautiful home with open arms and loved every minute of the experience. Carolina is an incredibly talented chef and explained what she was doing with every step. Simona speaks English eloquently and was able to translate everything with ease. We learned about the history of Italy and many wonderful things about the Italian culture. The food was absolutely delicious and wasn't like anything we had ever tasted before. If you are in Italy and want an authentic and lovely Italian experience, I highly recommend spending an evening with the Falcos.

Lake Como's hosts bring visitors together for an authentic Italian dining experience. The chef is a key person, who brings traditional methods to bring pesta recipes on local food tours. Special pasta dishes are made with legendary ingredients for cooking and dining. Salad welcomes guests, who eat a traditional American thing to precede their main course. By the way, chocolate desserts such as Tiramisu are good to finish off your lunch or dinner.
