Your experience
- Sciat
- White Pizzoccheri from Val Chiavenna
- Tiramisù with coffee
White pizzoccheri, are the signature dish of Chiavenna, they are called pizzoccheri because of their special method of preparation, which I will be happy to explain. They are not buckwheat pizzoccheri, but if you love the flavors of Valtellina, you must try this variant as well. Sciat are savory pancakes , impossible to make if you don't have the right cheese, I will explain the technique so you can make them at home, we will make them and enjoy them together. The recipe for tiramisu, the most desired dessert in the world will conclude our cooking class.

- Wonderful experience in Patricia's lovely home. Thank you for your expertise, hospitality, and patience.
- We had a wonderful time with Patrizia celebrating our anniversary. We cooked sciatt, pizzocherri, and tiramisu and everything was excellent. She welcomed us into her home with aprons and slippers. Her home is beautiful and we had a wonderful meal in her kitchen (it was raining outdoors). Because her home is about 15 minutes from city center Bellano, she gave us a name of a taxi driver she uses/recommends. She offered wine and coffee and showed us her garden. We will certainly be back with our family as she made us feel part of her own. Thank you Patrizia! Ciao
- Patrizia and Lica were incredible hosts. The recipes were easy to follow and being hands on was a ton of fun. Great conversation, incredible food, and many laughs were had. I would recommend this to anyone visit the Varenna area, as they host with an attitude to learn as much about their guests as they teach.
- Wonderful experience- husband and I took the fresh pasta & tiramisu cooking class and had such a great time with Patrizia. The house was beautiful with breathtaking views. Patrizia is an amazing person and very professional- super dedicated to us, teaching us everything about traditional ingredients, tips, seasoning, cooking times, etc. Coffee, and cheese & wine while cooking. Great time. I definitely recommend this class
- We has an amazing experience at the home of Patrizia on our visit to Varenna. She was such a gracious host! She demonstrated how to make fresh pasta, and shared her other cooking tips with us. We were so fortunate to have a private dinner in her lovely home. The food was delicious, and her home was warm and welcoming. It was such a unique experience. She showed us her garden, and we learned about her way of life. The evening spent with her could not have been better. It was the highlight of our trip to the Lake Como area.

Patrizia
Cesarina from 2022Location: Bellano Languages: English and Italian"My life is tied to the lake, this is where I have my roots and where I’m fine. I am a painter, my work allows me to manage time and the kitchen is for me my second workshop, where I can easily create dishes instead of paintings. My two children, now grown up and my husband were those who made me practice and love cooking. Hosting friends during the summer in the garden was an opportunity to understand that receiving guests is a pleasure and a personal enrichment. The ingredients of my recipes are all genuine, from local producers: honey, cheese, fish, directly from the fisherman in Dervio, and vegetables from my garden that my husband cares with passion for many years. Our house is a bit like the houses of the past, the fireplace and the stove allow us to warm up and cook with wood, and I must say that the result of the dishes cooked on the wood stove is very good. Also in the garden we have a kitchen and, in summer, we prepare, cook and always eat outdoors."
