Lake Como Cooking Class: Make Fresh Pasta & Tiramisu

Make pasta by hand, then taste it with a view of the lake

A private cooking class on Lake Como where you learn to prepare fresh pasta, seasonal sauces and tiramisu from scratch, then eat the meal you've made together with wine. The three-hour workshop teaches traditional Italian techniques hands-on, ending with lunch or dinner overlooking the water.

The experience

What separates this from a cooking demonstration is that you're the one working the dough. You'll learn to shape traditional fresh pasta by hand, guided through each step, and prepare a seasonal sauce to go with it. The class also covers tiramisu made with fresh, high-quality ingredients: the kind of detail that changes how it tastes. By the time you sit down to eat, you've made every dish on the table.

The meal happens in a lakeside setting with views across the water, and it includes wine, water, liquor and coffee. The whole experience runs three hours, which gives you time to work without rushing and still have a proper meal at the end. The class is private, so you're not cooking alongside strangers, and the space is wheelchair accessible with nearby public transportation if you need it.

What exactly do I learn to make in the cooking class?

Lunch or dinner is included in the class price. You eat the pasta, sauce and tiramisu you've just made, with wine, water, liquor and coffee provided.

How long does the whole class take?

The class runs three hours from start to finish, which covers the cooking instruction and the meal at the end.

Can I do this if I'm traveling with a group, or is it just for couples?

The class is private, meaning it's just for your group, whether that's two people or more. You're not cooking alongside other bookings.

Is there parking or public transit nearby?

Public transportation options are available near the location. The space itself is wheelchair accessible, and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children.
