Cooking class in Varenna

We are looking to do a cooking class in Varenna while visiting in early June.
Any suggestions of one you have actually done? I know there are many we could choose online but I’m looking for someone who has done it for a recommendation.

Thank you!!

In 2018 while staying in Varenna, a group of 4 of us took a short train ride to Mandello del Lario and did a class at Mama Ciccia's Cooking Academy. All of us had a wonderful time! In my opinion, you do this for the experience.

We just went today to Marco Sala’s Chef’s Table pasta making class. It was fabulous! We made 8 types of pasta and ate the pasta with a full lunch including wine, appetizers and tiramisu for dessert. Marco was fun to learn from and very patient with my poor listening skills! He is a fully trained chef and also has a restaurant called Locanda Cavallino beside the ferry terminal. His cooking classes are beside the train station so easy to walk to if staying in Varenna or coming from somewhere else. Highly recommended!
