Il Caminetto Di Maglia Moreno E C

My husband and I took this cooking class based on recommendations from the Rick Steve’s book. The class was great and Moreno, the owner and chef was wonderful! It was my favorite experience in Varenna. And I just made 200 tortellini and ravioli with his recipe. Outstanding! Highly recommended!

We always go to IL Caminetto whenever we're in Varenna because of the excellent food and hospitality. We've also attended their cooking class, and thoroughly enjoyed it. We highly recommend a visit here.

We took Chef Moreno’s cooking class. It was equal parts Italian cooking with life lessons beautiful conversation. The class is more of a demo, with Moreno doing all the “hands on” parts save for us shaping the tortellini. We thoroughly enjoyed learning from him, and the day includes a generous charcuterie, latte, and full lunch. Plan to make this your entire day! We were there from 10-3 and would have stayed longer if we didn’t have another tour booked. Moreno and Rosella were so kind. Favorite quotes: “Food is love— enjoy it.” “You can feed the belly and not be happy. You feed the soul, you can be happy.” 10 10 recommend!

After doing an organized tour of other countries, we were looking for a real Italian meal This did not disappoint. Rosella picked us up in Varenna and drove us to the restaurant. We had the fixed menu. It was served a a leisurely pace so we could enjoy every bite. The carafes of wine were delicious and the meal was topped off with shots of limoncello. It was a wonderful dinner. We were raised in the Italian tradition of family, lots of courses, wine and great food at a relaxing pace. This was everything we hoped for.

Really enjoyed our evening here. The owners are so friendly and the lift to and from the restaurant was an added bonus. We had the set menu and it was all delicious, the porcini risotto was amazing. There was too much food to fit in deserts but the complimentary limoncello was a nice end to a lovely evening. The food and wine was really reasonable too. Highly recommend this place but booking in advance is essential.
