“We had an amazing private class with Beatrice. It was located in her home. Very homey, welcoming and cute. We loved her personality and the patience she had to teach. You can see the passion she has for cooking. We cooked the pasta we made and had the tiramisu for dessert. Oh, fantastic wine and appetizers as well!! We couldn’t have asked for a better cooking class. And it was our first cooking class ever. Thank you for much Bea!!”

3.Bellagio Cook With a View + Villa Melzi

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 98 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $338

Cook fresh pasta and tiramisu at a hilltop Bellagio restaurant, enjoy lunch with wine, then visit Villa Melzi gardens with a small group.

“The setting is incredible- a lovely little hotel and restaurant perched above the lake. Very nice that they provided transportation up the hill. The meal was delicious and the wine pairings excellent. The only thing that would have made it better is if they had space for everyone to cook all at once rather than taking turns which made the cooking part a bit long and less interesting. Be sure to ask for the Villa Meltzi tickets- we forgot and didn’t get them.”

Handmade egg pasta class in Menaggio on Lake Como. Small group, wine and coffee included. Choose lunch or dinner.

“This was the most expensive cooking class I have ever experienced, and a total rip off! After they changed our location 3 times, we finally made it to the class. Lake Como is very expensive to get around, and the tour operators should know this. Where we ended up was someone’s kitchen, and our chef wasn’t familiar with it at all. He had already made the sauces, ( Why couldn’t we make them), so it was just a pasta class. There were 9 of us, and he only brought 2 bottles of wine! So much for the wine flowing while you are cooking. We are in Italy for heavens sakes!…”

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!”
