Learn How to Make Homemade Pasta in Bellagio Area
We had a great time with Paolo and Sara, from learning to make pasta to talking about Italian food and culture more broadly. Paolo is an excellent teacher/chef and both were so friendly and welcoming. We learned a lot and truly felt that they went above and beyond with their hospitality. Sara even made sure to take photos for us throughout the class, since I wanted to capture it but my hands were covered with flour and dough. :) This is an experience we won’t soon forget and we would highly recommend it to others visiting the area. You will leave full and happy! Thank you!!
We had a lovely time with Paola, Sara and the team at Slow Lake Como and Hotel Loveno learning how to make pasta. We were looking for a fun activity that could be enjoyed by our party of 5, ranging in age from 11 - 71, and what is more Italian than learning to make pasta? This class did not disappoint! Having been to a pasta-making class many years ago (not in Italy) and having tried our hand at making fresh pasta a few times since then, we picked up a number of useful tips that will surely help our next effort and will inspire us to make it more often as a family. We opted for a dinnertime class. The evening started with a warm welcome from the Hotel Loveno staff, including water all around after our 15-min walk across town to the venue from our accommodations (we were also thrilled that the class was in Menaggio and close to where we were staying - what a bonus!) We had the option for an aperitivo but decided to defer until later in order to be as focused as possible for the class! Paolo was a wonderful teacher with many entertaining stories, and we learned many helpful tips from him, from the different types of flours used to make pasta, to the regional origins of the different types of Italian pasta, to the optimal consistency of pasta dough, and how to clean a pasta maker. We also learned about some pasta types we didn’t make, as well as tips on making the perfect bolognese ragout! The kids had a fabulous time mixing, rolling and creating the tagliatelle and we all enjoyed the lesson in making orrecchiete and butterflies (formerly known to us as bow ties or farfalle!) All in all, we made two types of dough and 3 pasta shapes during the 2-hour class. Then we ate our creations for dinner al fresco while looking out at the beautifully kept gardens at Hotel Loveno (Paolo is also the head gardener, we learned!) and the amazing landscape of Lake Como beyond. Paolo and Sara joined us and shared some great tips on Lake Como that have enriched our vacation. There were two things that would have made this class even better: having a filled pasta as part of the class, such as ravioli, and helping to make one of the delicious sauces we enjoyed with our tagliatelle. With the class already filling two full hours plus eating dinner, I’m not sure how that would have been possible and may have felt rushed and hectic. As it was the experience was fun, relaxing and the lowest stress cooking class I’ve ever taken. Thank you, Paolo, Sara and team for a wonderful experience!

Wonderful Experience...

My wife and two friends of ours had the pleasure of taking this wonderful cooking class with Paolo and Sara in Menaggio. They made us feel so welcome and at home right away by making us delicious cappuccinos upon arrival. The class itself was very fun and educational, Paolo know so much about authentic Italian cooking and shares his mother's techniques, and his, while teaching you to make two different types of pasta. The class ended with us all enjoying our home-cooked meal together, sharing good conversation, mouth watering pasta all while admiring the gorgeous Lake Como view. Paolo's own Basil Pesto sauce was the best we all had ever tasted. I highly recommend you book this Italian cooking class with Sara and Paolo.
