Roll pasta by hand and master tiramisu in a Cesarina's kitchen

A hands-on cooking class in Como where you learn to make fresh pasta and tiramisu from scratch in a local home, guided by a Cesarina—one of Italy's network of home cooks who teach family recipes passed down through generations. The class runs three hours with a maximum of twelve people, includes an Italian aperitivo to start, and ends with tasting your dishes paired with local wines. English and Italian guides available.

The Experience

You arrive at a local home in Como and step into a Cesarina's kitchen—not a cooking school, but the actual place where these recipes live. The class starts with prosecco and nibbles, then moves straight to the pasta. You'll learn to roll sfoglia (fresh pasta sheet) by hand, the foundation for two different pasta types you make from scratch. The Cesarina walks you through the technique, shares the family method, and you work alongside other guests—the group stays small, no more than twelve. By the time you've shaped and cooked your pasta, you've picked up something you can actually do at home.

After the pasta comes tiramisu: the layering, the coffee-soaked ladyfingers, the creamy middle. You make it yourself, tasting as you go. Then you sit down to eat what you've made—your handmade pasta dressed with a simple sauce, the tiramisu you just assembled, all of it paired with local wines. The Cesarina shares stories about where these recipes come from and what they mean in her kitchen. It's the kind of meal that sticks with you because you know exactly how it got made.

The whole thing takes three hours. Water, espresso, and the wines are included. If you eat vegetarian, vegan, or keep kosher, let them know when you book and they'll adjust the recipes—the core technique stays the same. Public transport runs near the location, so you don't need a car to get there.
