Amazing food, An amazing family, and what a viewBeverleyA_M
This was an amazing experience. Chiara and Alfredo were so wonderful. We felt like we were just having dinner with old friends. They were so accommodating and just fun to be hang out with. The interactive cooking part was very special as well. My daughter-in-law is not a big cook , but Chiara walked her through the process and she thoroughly enjoyed it and excited about re-creating the menu when we get home. Sitting down with them and having dinner that we made was just the best. Their home is lovely and their view is breathtaking. We will definitely be back for another class in the future and just spend another evening with which we feel our new friends.
Great cooking class in gorgeous setting. Gregory_B

Fabulous day with Anna!!kevlindeman
We will be talking about this special day for many years! Omg so good! When you first arrive, the view is breathtaking, and we enjoyed a lovely conversation with our host in the sun looking at the lake. Moving to the kitchen, we made several dishes and had a beautiful meal, again overlooking the lake. One of the highlights of our trip, and a chance to go where we could not have gone and learn about the Cernobbio way of life. Our chef Anna was amazing! Great day! Book this!!!
DO NOT BOOK - they’re not located in CernobbioA894KJericv
This company’s highly misleading title advertises “cooking classes in Cernobbio”. They’re not in Cernobbio. You don’t find out the address of your cooking class until the morning of (inside the 24 hour no cancellation window). When we got the address of our cooking class, it turned out to be south of Como. I contacted the operator and the chef to cancel and get my refund. The chef was accommodating and understanding but couldn’t do anything from a refund perspective. The operator wouldn’t answer my calls. I submitted a claim through TripAdvisor, and they denied my request for a refund because the operator said no. These extremely disappointing and predatory tactics are why I will also never recommend trip advisor ever again. I’m still working on getting my money back, but save yourself the pain and money. Don’t book these guys.
A class in Italian cooking a view of Lake ComoCompass434725
Wow! The cooking, the friendship, the views were spectacular! This was the highlight of our trip! You won’t be disappointed.
**"We had a wonderful experience at Anna Maria’s house.
The hospitality, the home, the family, the food, and the entire atmosphere were lovely.
Although it’s not right on the lake, the house is located in a quiet area with great views and surrounded by nature."**
Most amazing time with Anna and her family!Brendan W
Amazing evening of cookies with friends. Beautiful house overlooking the lake, amazing food, and a relaxing time!!!!
Cooking Class with Anna and CrewJennifer_D
We had the most amazing time cooking, laughing and dancing with Anna and her lovely group of ladies. They were all so welcoming and generous. 10/10 recommend an evening with them!
Amazing Experience with Terrific Host Debora! Emma_W
This is such a unique, fun way to experience lake como. We were so lucky to have Debora who welcomed us into her lovely home and taught us so much about Italian cuisine. She had the most beautiful garden and a terrace where we had dinner with a beautiful view of the lake. She also had great enthusiasm for teaching! Our group didn’t have dietary restrictions, but she has an extensive protocol ready if we had. Couldn’t recommend this more!
Our experience cooking with Margherita was delicious in all ways. She taught us a lot about Italian cooking, Italy, and gave us recommendations of where to go. She was very patient and encouraging to me and my husband as we learned. The food was amazing, communication and instructions clear. We also very much enjoyed her and her boyfriend’s company. We sat, ate and talked just laughing and having a great time. One of our favorite experiences on our vacation! Highly recommend.
Margherita is the bestKirk_G
My wife and I had an excellent time. Margherita was the best and we will stay in touch with her for sure. Thank you and we will be back
The best culinary experience in Cernobbio!aguiang4
Jul 12, 2024, 10:24:48 AM If we could give SIX STARS to this experience with Anna, we would! It was the best thing we did in Como / Cernobbio and the entire experience was AMAZING! The environment, the food, and the people were truly incredible. If you are in Como, you MUST do this culinary experience with Anna. Highly recommend!
The BEST experience EVERJosephine_M
Jul 10, 2024, 11:57:49 AM This was the best experience my friends and I did during our 10 day trip exploring Greece and Italy. Anna made us feel so welcomed in her beautiful home. The food we made was so delicious and I’m excited to try her tips in my home. I cannot stress enough how much I recommend this experience!
The highlight of our trip to Italy!Stay318666
We had an amazing experience with Anna and Terry at their fabulous home. The setting was ideal, the class was superb, they thought of every detail. We enjoyed a welcome coffee on the terrace overlooking the most magnificent Lake Como with cookies and traditional cakes. We learned how to make ravioli, tiramisu, and wow was it delicious!! The highlight was the time spent with these wonderful ladies including meeting their incredible parents, both in their 80s, so vibrant and so gracious. We spent 2 weeks touring northern Italy and this experience was by far the highlight of our trip. The beauty of Lake Como in the background made for pure joy. I can’t wait to go back to this area and do it all over again! Thank you Anna and Terry!
You gave us an unforgettable experience!bellaluna4e
This was the highlight of our trip! What an amazing experience my daughter and I had with Anna and her family. We felt so welcome and everyone was so warm. What a beautiful view of the lake while we sat and sipped champagne and cheese. We made delicious ravoli's and tiramisu. We had a great time and we highly recommend Anna. We wanted to go back again the next night. It was absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for an amazing experience and opening up your home to us. We will never forget it. And then there was the full moon to top off the night....bella luna! :)
Perfect experience!Marcus_D
This was an amazing experience for our family. Debra opened her beautiful home and shared her knowledge and love of Italy. The food was great and we made a wonderful memory.
Wonderful experience in ComoLilyfromSydney
The experience with Anna and her family was so amazing. We felt like part of the family and it was such a fun and relaxing experience.
The food we prepared was wonderful but what really made the experience were the fabulous hosts. Would recommend for any groups wanting a cooking experience in Como
Private Cooking Lesson with Deboracarolinat315
Debora has touched my heart with her cooking and with her personality. She is simply fantastic and thanks to the experience that made us live cooking alongside her, my husband had the best birthday! Thank you Debora for your generosity, for your passion, for all the details during the experience, It has been unforgettable.
