A wonderful experience. My group of five friends, mostly retired, spent 4 to 5 hours in Marco’s kitchen learning and cooking the perfect three course traditional Italian lunch, which we then enjoyed with some good wine. Getting our aprons on and doing the preparation and cooking ourselves under Marco’s expert guidance was very relaxed and great fun. Before leaving Italy back to Switzerland we all shopped for the ingredients at Esselunga supermarket to repeat the experience once home with our families. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend a visit to Marco’s kitchen which can all be booked online.
We had an amazing experience during Marco his cooking class.
Culinary Inspiration! We enjoyed the day with Marco! We loved his dinner ideas
Fantastic!
We have booked a cooking class and it was an incredible experience.
We met Marco in his house deep in the woods in a nature national park. After a welcome coffee we prepared the three dishes we have discussed and decided in advance (ravioli, tiramisu and involtini). Marco explained the how and why of making in depth and answered all of our questions. He is a great chef, teacher and host!
After cooking we enjoyed our creations at a lovely table in the forrest with a great bottle of wine.
It was delicious and a delightful experience.
Totally recommended: 8 out of 5 stars
Thank you Marco, it was an amazing experience, the vegan and gluten free traditional italian dishes were delicious . Looking forward to attending the cooking classes 🥰

Perfetto! Marco is an excellent chef. He’s not only professional but extremely patient and kind. His place is heavenly. I loved his house, the garden, and the table was literally set up in the woods. Absolutely stunning atmosphere. You can hear the birds chirping while you eat. We had an interesting conversation over lunch which I thoroughly enjoyed. His family is just as kind. I couldn’t have asked for more. I got beautiful pictures in his garden with different flowers in the background. I learnt to make authentic southern and northern Italian dishes. We prepared a three-course meal (Pizzoccheri, Caponata and Torta Giulio). Before dropping me back to the station, Marco showed me River Ticino. I’d say it was a well-spent day. It’s a great learning experience and I definitely recommend it to everyone and hopefully I’ll be back another time.
My daughter and I spent a great day cooking with Marco. We cooked a great 3 course meal and then enjoyed eating it in the garden with him. Marco was a fantastic teacher, making things very interesting and created a great learning environment. I would highly recommend him.
Our group of friends were renting a villa at Lake Como and we prepared a totally fantastic meal together with Marco! We all had a fantastic day learning how to make pasta and cook with Marco. He taught us how to make homemade pasta, ossobuco and tiramisu, and we all sat down and had a great meal together with everything we created. Marco is probably the most patient man alive and was very knowledgeable and friendly. He even stayed to clean up which wasn't necessary. The cost and value for what we got was excellent and if we were to return to the area we would get Marco again rather than eat out. I'm glad we found Marco because this experience was the highlight of our trip.
Marco came to the villa our family was renting, and together we prepared a totally fantastic meal! We were having a celebration for our 50th wedding anniversary, and there were 12 present. Six of us worked with Marco on the dinner.
Marco was so patient with us! And so knowledgeable to answer all our questions about ingredients and techniques. The cost was entirely reasonable--and Marco did the clean up. Should we have opportunity to return to Italy, we will most definitely ask him again!
We had a great time and we were able to recreate the dishes at home. Really enjoyed this experience and loved meeting Marco and his family. Here's a picture of one of the dishes I made at home after following the directions from Marco.
