My mom and I LOVED our cooking class with Luca! His personality was so much fun and we learned so much about the food we cooked and how to make it at home. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Italy and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Luca was an exceptional host and guide. He went above and beyond for our experience more than I have ever experienced in any other host. He taught us pasta pesto and tiramisu that I can make at home and it all tasted incredible.

Luca is an incredible host, storyteller, and chef. My 2 friends and I were paired with a small family for our class (6 total) and we had an amazing time chatting together and eating DELICIOUS food. Luca walked us through each of the steps, taught us the cultural/historical significance of the regional ingredients we used in each of the plates and included us in the instruction process. He demonstrated how to make the pasta dough, shape, etc. but then allowed us to try and make mistakes as we went along. I'm so glad we got to meet and experiencing cooking with Luca. He's truly a gem!

Luca made us feel like we were his best friends as he taught us how to make pesto pasta and tiramisu! The pasta was so fun to learn to make and even better to eat! The tiramisu was some of the best we had too! And it’s even great that we all felt confident walking out that we will be able to try and make this again at home! Thanks for all the fun! Highly recommend!

We had a great time cooking with Luca! He has a lot of passion for food and our dinner ended up tasting fantastic. Look forward to making pesto and tiramisu at home!! The pasta I will probably buy fresh - it was a ton of work!!

Luca's cooking class was a ton of fun, very informative, and very delicious. Luca was well-prepared for a big group, knowledgeable about the dishes and their histories, and made sure we had a lot of fun.
