A Fantastic Four Hours - My wife and I looked at the weather forecast for Stresa and saw three days of straight rain. With that in mind, we sought something indoor and found this cooking experience. We are glad we did. Gisella welcomed us into her home and we immediately got busy making dessert, spinach pasta for our main course, and then an appetizer. It was so fun making the pasta (and who knew I was so GOOD at it!) Then we sat down to eat. As Gisella cooked the pasta and finished the sauce, we enjoyed the appetizer and some bread and wine. But the pasta was to die for! Delicious! As we finished the pasta, we were joined by Gisella's husband, who declared our pasta delicious! Gisella, a photojournalist, documented out experience and sent us pictures of our wonderful, exceptional experience. Grazie mille, Gisella!

Home made Ravioli!! - My wife and I enjoy unique experiences when we travel. Being invited into a local’s home to cook and chat was very special for us. Gisela was a wonderful hostess. She said most people want to make Pasta, but we asked about one day out for ravioli’s. She has premade the veal pate that would be the meat for the raviolis. But we did almost all the rest of the prep under her supervision. Her home was walking distance from our hotel on the main strip in Stresa. It was just a wonderful evening. Highly recommend this event.

Cultural Cooking Experience - Incredible experience. Beautiful home with incredible wood furniture pieces and chandeliers. Took time to not only teach us the techniques but also explained the cultural significance of the dishes we made. One of the best things we did at Lake Maggiore

post card dinner - What an experience.. Gabriella was fantastic. We learned making pasta from scratch and even did this back home. The dinner itself, after all the hard work, was delightful and in good company. If we lived in Stresa we would have new friends instantly. We love her home with a rich history to Gabriella's family and the view on Lago maggiore she has should be on a post card. Thank you again dear Gabriella and F.

Unfortunate booking experience - We were so happy to find a class in Stresa with an interesting menu for us. We booked online, provided all information and received a confirmation. Then, we were asked to take the classe later in the day or go to another town. We were disappointed, but decided to make arrangements go to the other town. We asked abput the menu but were informed it was a totally different menu. We then had no choice, but to cancel. Very very disappointing……. Why offer the booking and confirm if the service cannot be offered because « other clients have our time slot »?
