Chef Marco is absolutely amazing. He cooked me and my friends a WONDERFUL Italian meal in Bellagio/ Lake Como area. He was so great to work with and offered lots... read more of different options for cuisine, dietary restrictions, etc. Everything we had was divine- including a wonderful chocolate birthday cake for my friends birthday (he even brought candles)! Great service, communication, food, experience, and price. Would 10/10 recommend. Thanks again Chef Marco! Such an unforgettable evening.

Idea diversa per passare una mezza giornata tra amici e mettere le mani in pasta. Sin dalla descrizione sul suo sito che al contatto telefonico e su Whatsapp, Marco è... read more stato molto chiaro su cosa avremmo fatto, cioè 3 ore di corso di cucina e poi la cena, al relativo prezzo ed è stato disponibile ad accogliere le nostre richieste in termini di preferenze sul menù e di modifiche dell’ultimo momento al numero di partecipanti. Il posto dove si svolge l’evento è l’abitazione privata di Marco ed è in mezzo alla natura e per questo un po’ complessa da trovare, ma Marco fornisce delle indicazioni e inoltre una volta arrivati nella via indicata è bastata una telefonata ed è uscito ad accoglierci. Essendo una strada di campagna non ci sono parcheggi ma ci ha permesso di parcheggiare le auto all’interno del suo cancello, dove c’è posto per circa 3/4 auto. Poiché è la casa in cui vive è possibile che durante le ore passate lì si incontri anche la sua famiglia. Ci è stato fornito un grembiule da cucina a testa ed una salvietta personale, ed è iniziata l’esperienza in cucina di 3 ore per la preparazione di un primo, un secondo ed un dolce e ritengo che sia un tempo più che giusto per i gruppi che hanno voglia di mettersi in gioco o con una buona passione per la cucina, mentre non lo consiglio a chi non è particolarmente appassionato o ai timidi che devono farsi pregare per tagliare una cipolla. Non è un corso dove ognuno ha la sua postazione, ma si lavora insieme nella stessa cucina pertanto le operazioni si effettuano in pochi alla volta, ed è quindi meglio essere una coppia o un gruppo poco numeroso, altrimenti per alternarsi al piano di lavoro si rischiano dei momenti morti. La nostra scelta è ricaduta su un menù di pesce e le ricette proposte avevano vari passaggi ma piuttosto semplici, quindi adatte al nostro gruppo di dilettanti in cucina. Ci è stato ben spiegato come pulire i pesci in questione ed oltre alle ricette abbiamo appreso alcune tecniche che potremo riutilizzare a casa. Al termine delle preparazioni, abbiamo apparecchiato e gustato insieme a Marco le pietanze, con acqua, vino, caffè ed amari compresi nel prezzo del menù concordato a priori, quindi senza pagare alcun extra. La nostra esperienza si è svolta a cena pertanto abbiamo mangiato all’interno, ma a pranzo offre anche l’opportunità di pranzare all’aperto nel bosco. È una buona occasione per imparare qualcosa in cucina, in un clima casalingo, tranquillo e rilassato.

Marco prepared a very delicious 3-course dinner for our birthday celebration. We were very impressed especially with the gluten-free gnocchi and the panna cotta. Can very much recommend!

Unique dining & cooking experience! - Marco was such a nice host, very patient with our levels of cooking, and answered all questions we had about food and Italy in general! For the menu, he asked... read more a couple days in advance what we would like and adapted a 3 course menu for us: ravioli filled with mushroom ricotta, veal as the main dish (Involtini), and for dessert - classic tiramisu.
We had a wonderful time learning from him and eating the delicious food. We stayed from 10a to about 4p so I would recommend blocking out a large portion of the day for the activity.
Great hospitality and unique experience.

From the very first moment I saw Marco on his door to receive us, I already felt at home. We were a family group of five including our baby and... read more Marco made our stay very comfortable, natural and simple. We all felt really safe and comfortable cooking with Marco. One of the things I appreciated and worths mention was the fact that Marco joined us during the meal and shared his experiences and knowlege about several topics. The feeling at the end for all of us is that we did not only learn and enjoy cooking but also we learnt and enjoy from Marco. If you are near Milano and have some time left, this experience worths your visit.

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... read more a fantastic teacher, making things very interesting and created a great learning environment. I would highly recommend him.

My wife and I had a fantastic day learning how to cook with Marco. He taught us how to make homemade Pasta, Involtini and Tiramisa, and we all sat down... read more and had a great meal together with everything we created. It's hosted at his home up in the hills, and made for a really personal cooking experience. We'd highly recommend it!

We gathered with friends at a villa outside Como to spend Christmas together and high on my list for our visit was to hire a local chef for an authentic... read more dining experience for our group. Chef Marco hit it out of the park! He was wonderful and easy to communicate with to arrange a custom menu and arrange the details. He then came to our villa and cooked and prepared a stunning 4 course meal that had us all so full and so impressed. We are still in awe of his amazing gnocchi and out of this world tiramisu. If in the Como area taking a class or enjoying a meal prepared with Chef Marco is a MUST!
