Wonderful once schedule fixed - A great experience, with Luigi’s brother and nephew, Luca, running the event due to a scheduling error that meant the chef could not attend. Roberto and Luca were wonderful, gracious hosts. The stovetop cheese making was done at Roberto’s home as we sampled a number of cheeses and wine pairings as he explained the cheese-making process. Then we continued with a full cheese and meat board & wine as he shielded us how to make rossori, which we then enjoyed for lunch. Oh, and his home was atop a hill overlooking Lake Como…wow. Check dates and the agenda carefully given our experience and other reviews, but we had a great time.

Over priced and low on experience - This experience is nothing like its represented. The cheese tasting involved stopping at a local cheese shoo see the cheese but you don't actually taste any. The class is a rushed, simp!e execution of some pasta with very little of the chefs time. He is a character and amusing at first but then quite irritating. The salad served at lunch as well as the wine were the highlight. Do not spend your money on this.

Be in a larger group - With Luigi focused on a couple that was planning they're wedding we were left forgotten and the rest of the staff didn't really know what do do with us. All round, seeing that is was the off season and we where the only people registered for the class and the chef being busy with other things, the right thing would have been to cancel. Not terrible as the food was good but the experience was rushed and not worth the money paid.
