Fantastic afternoon in Como
What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and learning how to make pasta. Beatrice was fantastic and so much fun She had lots of patience with those of us who don’t cook. She provided lots of good personal stories. And she accommodated a food allergy in the group.
Loved the tortellino stuffed with ricotta and lemon.she also taught us how to make cavatelli rigati (the secret is in the rolling the dough)
It was a fantastic time and ended with home made tiramisu. Which was awesome.
This is the best cooking class we have ever done.
Thanks again Bea
Operator response
What a lovely tribute to Beatrice! We’re delighted that her patience, personal stories, and hands-on guidance made the class so enjoyable, even for those new to cooking. The ricotta and lemon tortellini, cavatelli, and homemade tiramisù sound like a delicious combination, and we’re glad the dietary needs of your group were taken into account. Thank you for choosing to spend your afternoon with Bea and for calling it your best cooking class yet!

We Came, We Cooked, We Ate!
Our pasta-making class with Chef Beatrice was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Como!
Beatrice is clearly an expert in the kitchen, but what made the experience even more special was her wonderful energy and enthusiasm as an instructor. Tammy, Kelly, and I had such a great time learning, laughing, and creating our own pasta together.
And the best part? Our meal was absolutely delicious! We were all quite proud of what we created. 😊
The three of us agree that this experience was one of our favorite memories from our time in Como. I will definitely be recommending Chef Beatrice's class to friends, and if I ever have the opportunity to join one of her classes again, I certainly will!
Thank you, Beatrice, for such a fun, memorable, and delicious experience!
Operator response
What a joy to read! Beatrice will be so happy to know her energy and enthusiasm made the class such a highlight of your Como trip. We love that you, Tammy and Kelly enjoyed learning, laughing and creating pasta together, and that you were proud of the delicious meal you made. It sounds like a truly special memory. Grazie mille!

Awesome master cooking class!!!
Beatrice was wonderful!!!! This was a great and fun class where we made ravioli and tagliatelle. I have never tasted better pasta and I will never buy pasta in a box again! Beatrice was a great teacher guiding us in all the recipes and techniques to make these wonderful dishes. She also shared her homemade tiramisu and gelato that was molto delizioso!!! I highly recommend this for anyone that loves to cook.

Pasta was superior using fresh ingredients!
You join Bea at her quaint home to learn and experience hands on Italian cooking. She is very talented, efficient and fun. She gifts you the recipes afterwards. Growing up learning how to cook from her grandmother has proven to be a gift! We left the experience with much appreciation and gratitude.
Operator response

It’s heartwarming to hear that Bea’s authentic family traditions and expert teaching made your experience so special. We love that you can now recreate these traditional recipes at home!

Excellent, FUN, informational!
Absolutely wonderful experience! We made egg pasta my favorite tagliatelle!! We felt like we had met a family member as our gal welcomed us into her home and taught us how to make the pasta and how to enjoy the meal afterwards:). She gave us sightseeing tips and made us homemade gelato for dessert! Book the class:). So glad we could do this while in Lake Como!
Operator response

We’re happy you enjoyed the homemade gelato and our local tips for Lake Como. We hope to see you again soon!

My husband and I took the pasta making course with Bea and we had a wonderful time. Recipes were delicious and easy to prepare. I will definitely make the recipes again. Bea was welcoming and very friendly. We stayed talking with her after the course about the history of the recipes she gave us but she also provided great restaurants suggestions for our stay in Como. Thanks again Bea for the wonderful experience that you gave us!
