Why go
About PastaClass.it Como Cooking Class
PastaClass.it is run by Beatrice, a former Bake Off Italia contestant who learnt to cook from her grandmother and aunt. She has focused on handmade pasta since 2016 and once led a well-known pasta shop in Como for about four years. Today she teaches small groups what she has learnt.
Experiences take place at Beatrice's home in the historic centre, around 50 metres from the Duomo. Guests learn tagliatelle, ravioli and other regional shapes with seasonal ingredients, then sit down to eat what was made, with local cheeses, wine and coffee at the table. Classes are offered in English or Italian.
Main services
What PastaClass.it Como Cooking Class offers
Services from the official website.
Cooking demo
Beatrice cooks while you watch, ask questions and sip a drink, then you sit down to a three-course menu built around fresh stuffed pasta. A relaxed choice if you prefer tasting to kneading.
Class for groups
A hands-on fresh pasta class for five to ten friends, family or travel companions, held in the historic centre of Como. Booking needs a little more notice because an outside venue is used.
At-home experience
Beatrice brings a hands-on class or a cooking demo to your own home, taking care of everything for two to eight guests. Also available as a personal chef service for private dinners.
