    We had a wonderful evening with chef Veronica and sous Luka. The food was delicious and we learned many good tips. They made us feel very welcome and we enjoyed our lively conversations . A highlight was being driven by Luka back to the pick up stop and singing Beatles songs!!!

    This was a great experience, however, we had a cooking class in Rome and fell in love. The experience was a sit down, comfortable experience, with endless wine at the table and Italian music of our choice being played. It was $75 per person. We paid double for this experience to drive to a pickup spot to be transported 20 min away, no wine unless you asked for it, stood on our feet the entire time and watched "mama" cook the meal. It was just different. The friendliness of family ever, but not the same. Food was 4 compared to the 9 we made scratch to finish in Rome.

    We had a wonderful cooking class experience with Carolina and Simona! I travelled with my sister and our mutual best friend for their 40th birthdays for a fun extended weekend trip to Milan/Como. From start to finish our hosts were a pleasure to hang out with and learn from. The food was delicious and the company was even better! They were even so kind to give us a lift back to Como. Would highly recommend this experience and highly recommend this mother daughter duo! Thanks for an amazing and memorable night!
