Get food and couple.
Luca met us at the hands monument (Monumento le Mani) and drove us to his and Francesca's beautiful home. From the very beginning it felt like we were visiting with friends we'd known for years; friends just working around the kitchen together to create a delicious lunch. They taught us how to make cheese and speck croissants, fettuccine with minced meat sauce, gnocchi in oil and garlic, and Tiramasu. It all turned out wonderfully but just getting to know Francesca and Luca was the best part. Something special about breaking bread together. The best of our day in Como.

First Time Making Pasta. Nailed It!
Morena was such a warm and welcoming host, we were the only ones in the class, which made it feel so personal. She walked us through everything clearly and jumped in with help exactly when we needed it. It was my first time making pasta and tiramisu, and I left feeling like I could actually do it again at home. Highly recommend this experience!

Disappointing experience
The description and photos said that we would be cooking gnocchi, but we ended up cooking ravioli. Anna explained that gnocchi was complicated to make and that she didn't have the right ingredients, so she always makes ravioli. I was disappointed because I really wanted to learn how to make gnocchi. The description and pictures should be updated. Also, I don't think you can really call it a cooking “class”. Often, Anna didn't tell us how to do things. For example, for the tiramisu, we had to mix the egg whites. There's a technique to keep the egg whites from breaking, but she didn't show us. Sometimes she didn't give us any instructions at all. For example, when we had to make pizza, we had a ball of dough in front of us, but she didn't tell us what to do. She was often on the phone and left us alone at the work surface without any instructions. We didn’t know what to do and were just waiting for her. Instead, the social media girl would tell us what to do. I thought we were going to cook, but Anna did a lot of things herself. For example, for the ravioli dough, I would have liked to use the machine to roll out the dough, but Anna did it and we just watched. We also had a little aperitif during the “class”, but we were seated in...the garage! It wasn't quite the view of Lago di Como we were expecting… Besides, we didn't know we would be filmed/photographed so much. It was annoying sometimes and made the whole thing feel fake.
Response from the operator: Dear Madam, Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion with us. It is always important for us to listen from our customers in order to improve our service. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet our high standards. You are right to require the best from Cesarine and we're sorry that you didn't have what you expected. We investigated the issue with your Cesarina Anna, who confirmed that you prepared ravioli, but she told us that, upon knowing you would spend some time in Italy, she had offered you a free gnocchi class anytime you were available. She also explained the guests sat for a while in a sheltered part of her beautiful garden, only while having aperitivo and she showed us pictures of it - we are sorry you felt that was a garage :)) We do appreciate your feedback and thank you very much for your patience, we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Italy. Warm regards,

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cesarine: Small group Pasta-Making class in Como: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lake Como.
How much does Cesarine: Small group Pasta-Making class in Como cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lake Como usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cesarine: Small group Pasta-Making class in Como take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lake Como is not rushed.
Is Cesarine: Small group Pasta-Making class in Como worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lake Como, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cesarine: Small group Pasta-Making class in Como?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cesarine: Small group Pasta-Making class in Como suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cesarine: Small group Pasta-Making class in Como?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lake Como can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lake Como and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cesarine: Small group Pasta-Making class in Como start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lake Como within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lake Como?
+
On Outty we rank every Lake Como experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Lake Como & Lugano: 2 Countries in 1 Day, Boat Cruise, Como, Bellagio & Varenna: Small Group from Milan with Boat Cruise, Small-Group Lake Como: Bellagio, Varenna, Hidden Gorge & Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lake Como?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lake Como?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
