We had an amazing time! We made the most beautiful and tasty raviolis and learned a lot about real Italian life and culture. We will come back again and bring our daughters the next time we are in Como!

Cooking class

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and learning how to make pasta. Beatrice was fantastic. 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.
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

We had a lovely experience learning how to make pasta from scratch. Beatrice was very flexible about the type of pasta we wanted to make and surprise us with appetizers and wine while the pasta was cooking. Highly recommended experience.

I hardly ever, ever leave reviews, but today at Beatrice's pasta making class was just FIRST class. Take some flour, eggs, great company, a patient, fantastic teacher, with an extra helping of fun... and you have the perfect day in Como.

My husband and I booked a pasta making cooking class (ravioli and pici) with Beatrice at the end of the high season 2026 - throughout the whole experience she made sure that we had the correct amount of attention and guidance - allowing for mistakes and teaching how to correct them. She was very fun and easy to interact with. Also her soundtrack and space made us feel very comfortable and a very legit Italian experience. We can highly recommend her cooking classes for everyone that wants to improve their pasta making skills from an excepcional Italian chef!

It was one of the best and funniest part of our trip to Como. Bea is so kind and so attentive! She gave us a truly warm experience centered on sharing and togetherness, and taught us how to make pasta in the most delightful way. On top of that, it was EXCELLENT! We absolutely loved it... we made ravioli and pasta, and she was kind enough to answer all my follow-up questions even after the class ended

Cooking class

An absolute highlight of our trip to Lake Como! We had the most incredible experience in her beautiful home learning to make authentic Italian risotto and tiramisu. The food was absolutely delicious, but what made this experience truly special was Beatrice.

Her home was immaculate and welcoming, and she was so knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about cooking. She shared wonderful stories about her grandparents, her upbringing, and her own cooking journey, which made the class feel so much more meaningful and personal. And her English was beautiful- communicating with her was effortless!

By the end of our time together, I honestly wanted to put her in my suitcase and bring her back to the USA!

If you are visiting Como, DO NOT miss this experience. You will leave with delicious recipes, new cooking skills, wonderful memories, and the feeling that you've spent time with someone truly special. One of the best experiences of our entire trip!

We had an awesome experience learning how to make 2 types of pasta and 2 sauces. Our personal chef, Beatrice, was excellent. She was very knowledge and organized. She demonstrated every step of the cooking process and allowed the entire group to share in the cooking experience. We sat down to a great dinner made by us. We all highly recommend this cooking class for an unforgettable experience

Vicki Duran

Cooking class

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!

One of the absolute highlights of our Italy trip! Chef Bea welcomed us into her home and made us feel like old friends from the moment we arrived. With drinks, snacks, and so much warmth, she made cooking pasta and ravioli feel easy, fun, and completely unforgettable.

We had the best pasta and ravioli of our entire trip right in her home - followed by the most incredible homemade gelato.

Such a special, authentic experience. We couldn't recommend Chef Bea more!

Cooking class

We had an amazing evening of pasta making with Bea!! Bea was an excellent host, full of energy and great stories! She taught us how to make two pasta dishes - lemon ricotta ravioli and tomato tagliatelle. Both were delicious and we can't wait to try them again at home. Her homemade dessert was also amazing! It was a brilliant and fun evening - highly recommend the experience!

Luca Piccolo

Cooking class

Excellent experience. Bea was very kind and professional. We cooked tagliatelle and tortelli. The service was 5-star. We will definitely be back to try another cooking class.

Harry Bell

Cooking class

We spent the most incredible evening at Beatrice's home. She made us feel very welcome and was fabulous company. She was also an amazing chef and teacher. Her useful pieces of advice as we went through the class were great. All of the food produced was delicious and that wasn't down to us but to Beatrice's guidance and support. The wine choice and appetiser matched the food perfectly and the dessert was fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend this experience and would most definitely come again if I came back to Como! Thank you Beatrice.

Class for groups

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the pasta-making class with Chef Bea! She was incredibly informative, patient, and made every step easy to understand. Her warm personality, sense of humor, and enthusiasm made the class both entertaining and fun from beginning to end.

Chef Bea created a welcoming atmosphere that made my husband and me feel comfortable asking questions and getting involved. We learned so much while laughing and enjoying every minute.

One of the highlights was that the restaurant cooked the fresh pasta we had just made and served it to us for lunch. It was paired with delicious wine and finished with a wonderful tiramisu, making the entire experience feel authentic and complete.

The pasta was outstanding, but what really made the experience unforgettable was Chef Bea herself. If you're considering taking this class, don't hesitate - you'll leave with new skills, wonderful memories, and a full stomach! Thank you, Chef Bea, for such a delightful and memorable experience!

Beatrice was extremely knowledgeable and patient with my family especially and 2 grandkids. The hands on experience was top notch and her ability to communicate was spot on. I strongly recommend her for cooking class and yes the final products were top notch.

I've known Bea for a long time and I can say she's incredibly talented and knowledgeable! I've been fortunate enough to participate in a few masterclasses, and Bea expertly led us into the world of pasta! We learned so much and had so much fun! Highly recommended, always!

Deana Hughes

Cooking class

Our cooking class experience with Beatrice "chef B" was fantastic from start to finish. We have done multiple cooking experiences in Italy and in other countries, and this was our favorite. She was so patient and knowledgeable and even gave us some great recommendations for the como central area when we were finished. The location was great, the preparation and organization were top notch, and she was professional and fun all at once. I highly recommend this cooking experience !

Wonderful experience in the heart of Como! The pasta-making class was fun, well-organized, and a great way to learn authentic Italian cooking. The instructor was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience enjoyable for everyone. We had a fantastic time making fresh pasta from scratch, picked up useful techniques, and, of course, enjoyed a delicious meal at the end. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Lake Como!

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.

I did the cooking class with Bea! It was a fantastic experience. I was with my little daughter and she enjoyed so much the experience. After cooking pasta and ravioli we ate them and they were amazing. Bea also gave us an ice cream. Really suggested.
