I am a sucker for cooking classes and I had to get others to be involved. I wrote Gusto Italiano a…read morefew months before my trip to Italy. I learned that classes are for 3-6 people, 120 Euros per person for 3 or 90 per person for 4 to 6. Eric R. had no choice so he was person #2, and then David S. from Vegas volunteered. Luckily, Kendra M. joined so we had the lower price. The day before the class, I talked a couple who was also attending the same wedding as us to join, and we had 6. Silvana was very accommodating and told us - no problem! We arrived at 9:30 AM and the class plus lunch was slated to go until 2:30 PM. Elisabetta, Silvana's daughter, was our instructor. We were given a choice of tagliatelle and ragu sauce or spinach and ricotta ravioli with sage and butter. We opted for ravioli but learned tagliatelle anyway! First, Elisabetta took us around to different shops to buy bread, cheese, and produce. We also stopped at a garden in La Limonera (owned by co-owner Daniela) to pick sage. We returned to the shop and made tiramasu first since it had to chill in the fridge. She really made the class hands-on so everyone got to contribute. We learned how to make coffee with a Moka using Illy coffee. Everybody dipped lady fingers and people made the cream in different stages. After we put the tiramasu in the fridge, it was time to prep bruschetta. We learned the proper way to prepare tomatoes, toast the bread, and rub garlic on it. Then we made pasta dough, which was quite challenging. While letting it rest, we sat outside on the patio to enjoy prosecco with our bruschetta and some cheeses that we dipped in thick, aged balsamic. Then, Elisabetta showed us how to make the spinach-ricotta filling. We used hand-crank pasta machines (the real deal!) and rolled out lots of dough. She had different tools to make ravioli so we tried them all (the press that looks like an ice tray, the hand carve tool, and the ravioli stamp). She provided us with water and a brush too. She had the water boiling and started to cook our pasta. She also put a big hunk of butter and the sage leaves to make our sauce. With our leftover rolled out dough, Elisabetta showed us an easy way to make tagliatelle! She recommended making a lot of fresh pasta and freezing the leftovers. She provided a clipboard so I could take notes. After all of the cooking, she set the downstairs table and we all sat for a wonderful meal of our ravioli and tiramasu. She opened local red and white wines for us to enjoy as well. We paid at the end of the meal (cash only). She will email us the recipes soon. It was a fantastic experience and worth every Euro cent :) I highly recommend this when in Bellagio!

Clara's class provided a great opportunity to experience Milanese culture from the unique…read moreperspective of a local's kitchen. Her attention to detail is impeccable, from the drawers of flour separated by grind, to the personalized recipe book that was waiting for us on her coffee table upon our arrival. After a quick meet and greet, we donned our aprons and went into the kitchen, where a schedule listed the various tasks needed to prepare three courses plus dessert by 2pm. The environment is fun and casual, and everyone becomes friends while rolling out fresh pasta dough, soaking lady fingers in espresso, and preparing the mise-en-place for a bolognese. While a lot of the prep work was done in advance of our arrival, I think Clara did a nice job finding a balance between keeping it hands on and maintaining a reasonable pace. Admittedly, there were a couple of points where I was just "helping mom" with dinner and doing scut work, but in all fairness, in a kitchen of seven people, without a clearly designated leader the morning would quickly devolve in a literal case of too many cooks. Clara is totally receptive to questions the entire time, and her pedigree as a chef, baker, and sommelier adds a high degree of credibility to her lessons. The class is appropriate for people at every skill level. Newcomers will feel at home chopping carrots while experienced cooks are given the chance to man the stove and adjust seasonings. For me, the highlight was the meal itself, and not only because the food was excellent (fresh tagliatelle were perfect, homemade tiramisu was the best I've ever had). At the end of a long day that begins in a kitchen full of strangers, you sit down at a table with friends. To me, this is the whole point, and Clara hit this mark perfectly. I'd highly recommend this class to anyone headed to Milan, and plan to seek out similar opportunities in my future travels.

Amazing experience in Milan to cook with Aurora! We booked directly through her and had an amazing…read moreexperience alongside 4 other guests. Upon arriving, we were greeted with appetizers (chestnut rolled in pancetta, smoked tomatoes, bread and cured garlic) and some prosecco. After doning our aprons, we got to work chopping, mixing and preparing the food under Auroras tutelage. On the menu was risotto with osso bucco, tagliatelle noodles with a meat sauce and dessert was tiramisu! The wine was flowing all night long! The coolest part was making fresh pasta- it's actually so easy to make with just some flour and egg. Will definitely have to try at home! Seriously guys- sign up for this experience. Aurora also let us "play" with the dough and make some tortellini and had an extra mid meal snack of some fruit marzipan and almond Nougats. At the very end- you get a certificate of completion, an email with the recipes and a very full belly! We also brought home the leftover tiramisu!
