Found Il Caminetto via Trip Advisor and cannot recommend it enough. We spent a wonderful day with Moreno at his restaurant which has been in the family for 8 generations and because we went off-peak it meant there was just 4 of us in the class - rather than the usual 10-12. This was perfect because we got to eat... more

I have just returned from a wonderful visit at Il Caminetto with Chef Moreno and Rosella. I had decided to find a place to take a cooking lesson in Italy after a business trip in the Lake Como area. I found Il Caminetto on Trip Advisor, and I’m so glad I did! The service Moreno and Rosella provide to their... more

We highly recommend taking advantage of this great opportunity. Chef Moreno has a passion for cooking and a love for teaching. We enjoyed every minute of our 5hr lesson and learned so much about preparing, cooking, and eating Italian cuisine. more

I took Chef Moreno's cooking class and loved every minute of it. This experience is amazing and is great for those who love to cook and for those who love to eat! Chef Moreno's class is very affordable and is worth more than it costs. We paid 34 euros a person and had four courses and a 6 hour long... more

This cooking class is a wonderful way to truly experience food, culture & incredible sights of a tiny Italian village placed in the mountains on Lake Como. I wasn’t sure a cooking class is how I wanted to spend my time, but I am without doubt thankful we did this. We were picked up in the village square in Varenna,... more

We enjoyed the cooking class on a recent trip to Varenna. The class is only given 2-3 days a week. You should call ahead to check on availability. We went on a Tuesday and were picked up in the town square. We could have been brought back to town but opted to be dropped off near the castle and visited... more

We couldn't agree more with the positive reviews on this experience. Chef Moreno was a joy--entertaining, informative and gracious. He demonstrated risotto, gnocchi and tagliatelle pasta making (all with sauces), and served with generous portions of wine. Don't miss this experience--at 34 euro each, it's a bargain! We were at his ristorante from 10:30 a.m.until about 4:30 p.m., and the... more

This was the absolute highlight of our week long stay in Lake Como. Chef Moreno picked us up from the ferry in Varenna, and drove us up a steep winding road to his restaurant in a small village high up the mountain. We spent most of the day (10am until about 3pm) with him and 5 other guests. We made... more

having missed our ferry from Menaggio we arrived at the restaurant a little late. After getting a little telling-off on the phone we were welcomed warmly on arrival and offered an excellent coffee. The other people on the course were lovely. the group had divided into Americans and English. On the english table we enjoyed the cooking descriptions and demonstrations... more

Pre-arranged collection and return to Varenna ferry landing worked perfectly. Along with three friends and six other students, we enjoyed Chef Moreno's entertaining cookery demonstration and then lunched on the four dishes (pate, gnocchi, pasta, risotto), accompanied by ample quantities of young red wine that was included in the very reasonable cost of 34 euros/head. A very enjoyable four hour... more
