Experience Cooking Classes in Milan with Withlocals

"My friends and I were honored to join Francesca and her sister in creating a lovely dinner at their home. As soon as we met them, we were instantly drawn in by their warm welcome and adorable home. My friends and I were looking for something to make us feel apart of the Italian culture and this dinner was the perfect fit. We shared laughs, stories, and were able to make a delicious meal between strangers who made us feel at home. I am so excited to take these recipes and share them with family in Florida. They gave us great tips and really taught us how to create our dinner in a fun way. If you are ever in Milan and looking for something fun to do, this is definitely what you’re looking for. "

"My wife and I took a pizza making class with Armondo, he was very personable and friendly. We had a great couple hours and were able to taste our creations. Learned that pizza dough and Focaccia dough are very similar but Focaccia dough takes 24 hours so not possible for a 2-hour class. "

"My husband and I took my parents to Italy for their first Europe trip, and they said this was one of their highlights! Francesca and her sister were so lovely and welcoming, and we had so much fun talking with them. We learned to make fresh pasta, and my family really enjoyed getting to use the "guitar" tool! We ended the evening with a delicious flourless chocolate cake. The meal was so yummy and we all learned a lot. Lovely people, a lovely kitchen, and a lovely meal--wonderful experience all around!"

"I recently had the pleasure of attending a cooking class hosted by Francesca in Milan, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment my friend and I stepped into her home, we were welcomed with open arms, creating an atmosphere that felt both inviting and safe. Despite being in a new environment, her warmth and friendliness immediately put us at ease. It's not every day you enter a stranger's home and feel as comfortable as you would in your own kitchen, but Francesca made that happen effortlessly. What set this cooking class apart was the personalized touch that Francesca brought to the table. She allowed us to choose the dishes we wanted to prepare, tailoring the experience to our preferences (tagliatele with fresh pesto, eggplant parmegiano and tiramisu). This not only made the class more enjoyable but also ensured that we were learning and creating dishes we were genuinely excited about. She guided us through each step of the cooking process with a calm demeanor, answering questions and providing helpful tips along the way. The food was absolutely delicious ! Meeting Francesca was truly a pleasure, and her passion for cooking and teaching is shone through every moment. I can wholeheartedly say that this cooking class comes highly recommended. If you're looking for a welcoming, accommodating, and patient host who allows you to choose your culinary adventure, look no further. Thank you, Francesca, for an unforgettable experience! We will definitely be returning for more culinary adventures in the future if we find ourselves in Milan once again. Marisa + Farah from Montreal, Canada "

"We had a great time with Francesca and learned a lot about the dishes we made. She is knowledgeable and very personable. The food was fantastic as well as the conversation. Highly recommend! "

"My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Francesca and Alessandra on our first trip to Milan. They were so welcoming and knowledgeable and the food was absolutely delicious. They also took the time to put together a reel of our experience so we can remember it forever. Highly recommend! "

"Francesca and her sister were the best during this cooking class. My wife and I enjoyed our time with them and got to learn three Italian recipes! We also enjoyed time together while eating the food we cooked. We would definitely do this again!"

"Francesca and Alessandra were the BEST. I went with my group of 5 to take a cooking lesson and the two of them were not only incredible teachers with generations of culinary wisdom, but some of the most genuine people we’ve met. The food we made was incredible and they were extremely hospitable throughout the entire experience. They also so kindly share their recipes so you can take your new skills back home with you! Absolutely would do this again when back in Milan and would recommend to anybody💛"

"Francesca and her sister did an amazing job! The food, hospitality and their knowledge was amazing! Thank you for such a wonderful lunch all made from scratch and we were able to be hands on as well as observe. This is a must if you are in Milan!"

"Before the booking, it was really easy to talk to her about our desired menu incl allergies/alternatives and she always responded very quickly. Francesca is such a sweet and caring person - when entering her beautiful home, you immediately felt like visiting a friend instead of „a cooking class with a stranger“. Everything was ready and set up and we were able to start cooking (with a glass of wine :)) right away. She explained everything nicley and responded to our questions very patiently. It was also one of our best food experience in our 4 day trip to Milan. All in all, highly recommended and once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH, Francesca."
