Hire a Private Italian Chef in Lake Como & Lake Maggiore

The cooking class with Marco was great. He was very explanatory, welcoming and kind. We ate the best tiramisu ever! Also his house is in a great area in the forest and nature. The location was the most beautiful and all the nature near you (birds, quiet, green)! I will definitely visit Marco again.

We had a fantastic time cooking with Marco. His communication was prompt, and directions to his house were easy to follow. We created a pasta dish (including a different one for the vegetarian!), a delicious stuffed pepper dish and a very tasty fig tart to finish with. The three adults and the kids (14 & 16 yrs) loved it. The crusty fresh bread and family pressed olive oil was also a winner! There is heaps of room in the kitchen and the other food preparation area. Sitting at the dining room table looking out at the bush while enjoying the food and wine was perfect. Thank you Marco x

Our group of 5 had a wonderful day with Marco He met us at the market to select a menu and then guided us through the preparation of a 3 course dinner at his home. He was a gracious host, answered our many, many questions and was lovely company while we all enjoyed the meal. We would be very happy to spend another day learning from Marco.

We recently went to Italy for a family holiday and had never hired a private chef before. Marco was fantastic. He had an extensive list of potential meals and communicated well in advance. He was kind, courteous and everything was doe to an exacting standard. We would definitely recommend Marco and if we are to return we would strongly consider using him again. I still want the tiramisu recipe though! It was simply phenomenal

We spent a wonderful time in Marco’s house in Sesto Calende where we celebrated bachelorette party of our friend. We learned how to cook Italian pasta, Involtini and tiramisu. He’s very flexible, we could choose the meals according to our preferences. We cooked in the group of 10 and he was very patient in explaining all the details. The quality of ingredients was excellent, we even used local olive oil that is produced by his wife’s family in a village nearby. At the end everything turned out super tasty (tiramisu was my favorite). Marco also helped us a lot when we missed the train back to Milan, which was supposed to be the last in this day, but it didn’t arrive… Without his help we wouldn’t leave Sesto Calende this day, but thanks to him we all made it back! I truly recommend the class, it’s such a great experience!
