“Angela is an excellent host and an outstanding Italian chef. She and son, Victor, welcomed us into their beautiful home and were really engaging and patient. Angela took us through the entire process of making the pasta in a very artistic and creative way. The pear Bruschetta was not just a beautiful masterpiece, but also a gastronomic one. And then when we got to making the Ravioli, Angela was there with us at every step of the way, keeping it jovial and witty, with a keen attention to detail. This experience was made even better with the company of a Puertorican family. The pasta served with Sicilian wine was simple…”

The stories she told about her grandmother and the memories she has of cooking with her and her recipes were heartwarming. We truly enjoyed ourselves, the food was delicious, and the company even better. We highly recommend this experience!!”

I highly recommend this to anyone. She does live several kilometers out of Varenna, but the view from her home high above the lake is beautiful. (You can get a taxi to take you there, or if you have a car, bring it across on the ferry.”
