Superb! Great teacher and now forever friend! - This was fabulous! The he was like family and he taught us so much more than we ever imagined! We didn’t want to leave his wonderful country home! He taught us how to make different sauces out of things you have in your refrigerator and pasta from two ingredients. We made bruschetta with simple but delicious items and pecorino cheese young to aged. Drizzle of honey and grated nutmeg! Superb! We will definitely come to learn more again!

Fun while cooking - I would recommend this class to anyone, from beginners to people with some cooking experience...or anyone who just wants to have a fun and enjoyable experience. Chef Fulvio was amazing as he provided such insights to perform practical experiences. They have an incredible amount of knowledge for cooking styles and processes, you will come away with new ways to take your cooking to a new level at home.

Warm and welcoming small class - Katye was our instructor snd she made the experience TERRIFIC! As I was in left arm cast and sling (beware of all those steps in Italy) she immediately said “I will be your left hand!” The setting was wonderful- a family farmhouse with a view! The invaluable Tuscan cooking tips we were given as we prepared each course were eye opening, such as the difference between an American pinch of seasoning, and an Italian pinch of seasoning! Who knew? The informal, hands on experience was priceless, and right at the top of my memories of our Italian adventure.

Luigi was awesome - it was a little hard to find the house but the experience was fantastic. Luigi was extremely knowledgeable about Italian culture, cooking and why some items go together and others actually counteract each other, taste wise. His personality was awesome as he was very funny and entertaining through the class. the food was fantastic to eat and i learned so much from him about how to cook Italian and things i have been doing wrong all my life. Thanks, Luigi, for a great time.
