Verona Cooking Class

Hello!
My friend and I are doing a girl's trip to Italy this summer, mainly to trek in the Dolomites but we are ending our travel in Verona. A few years ago my husband and I were in Varenna in Lake Como and did a cooking class with Moreno and Rosella at Ristorante il Caminetto - this was the best class we have ever attended and I stumbled upon it through a random blog. It was in their restaurant in a small town just above Varenna and was more of a demonstration than anything, but we felt like we were part of Moreno's family. We went back twice for dinner and the restaurant was 30 minutes away - it was just that lovely.

My goal is to find something similar in Verona - maybe attached to a restaurant that is family owned. It can even be outside of the city. I know it is a long shot, but wanted to reach out to see if anyone had suggestions. Thanks for any suggestions and help!

This won't be helpful but my family and I did the same class with the Moreno family in 2015-it is one of my most precious memories of Italy. I called last year when I took my nieces to Varenna last year for their graduation gift because I wanted them to experience it as well but sadly Chef Moreno has passed away. Heartbreaking for sure. My partner and I will also possibly be traveling to Verona area in June so would also love to find something similar. I hope you are able to find such a special experience there as well!

I did not know that Moreno had passed away, that is truly heartbreaking. He was such an amazing person, thank you for your response! I will keep you posted if I find anything similar - but I do have a feeling that Moreno and Rosella's class was one of a kind simply because of their personalities!
