Thank you, Luigi—so much fun and delicious! :) Learned a lot, so much fun! We loved your humor, your food and your mom! The pasta making was soooo great!

This was an experience we will never forget! Chef Luigi, wife Camilla, and the rest of his family and staff were amazing. We registered for the pasta cooking class. This started out with a tour of his garden, and then the kitchen. We made our own pasta, we’re able to take lots of photos, and then ate, and ate, and ate some more! The food was beautiful and delicious, and he and his staff were most gracious. At the end of the evening, the kitchen was busy, and we asked them to call a taxi for us so as not to disturb them. They wouldn’t hear of it, and insisted on driving us back to town! If you have a chance, take this class!!

Novel and interesting tour of the gardens with a lesson in how to prepare homemade pasta. Fun to see the kitchen in operation. Delicious lunch included! Will definitely return!

We loved the chefs personality. We learned about making pasta and ragout. We would have liked to know the recipes of the other sauce he made. It was delicious.

Chef Luigi (& wife Camilla) are an awesome couple with a fantastic restaurant & cooking class going on. Camilla was the sweetest person I’ve met! The class was “hands on” ‘ a ton of fun! We made tri-colored pasta & panacotta! We also got a chance to eat our creations as well! For our class - we got an embroidered apron & a small bottle of olive oil to keep!! The 4 hours flew by the group of eight was just the right size. The chef & his kitchen staff are rockstars…. I’d do it again for sure!!

I was on my own and It was so much fun. I was really early so they put me to work in the kitchen don’t think that’s normal but made this lady so very happy! I enjoyed learning and eating the fruits of our labor. Be prepared to be very very full! The family restaurant was so cute 🥰 and we got to meet everyone even Mama! Only thing is if you need a ferry on a Sunday be careful they don’t run the same as the rest of the time - Leason learned!

Great day! Learning, cooking, and eating a great lunch we all help make was very satisfying. Luigi brings a great personality, energy and passion to the class. Very special day, highly recommended.

Agin like another one star review, they cancelled on us the day before on the day they took our payment and scheduled the class!!!! And have kept my payment even still today almost 24 hours later! Understandable if it was emergency but the explanation was “not available must cancel and will refund.” Canceling the day before either because you can’t count or you just don’t want to cook today is not acceptable. Now we cannot book another as it is too late and you have not refunded my payment. If I cancelled for any reason this close, you would not have refunded me. Per usual and always, Caveat Emptor! Buyer Beware!!!

Not only was I able to experience a one on one cooking class, the experience was run in a functioning commercial kitchen of a family owned restaurant. Chef Luigi's family has owned and run their beautiful restaurant for 50 years. The class was informative, fun, insightful, and delicious!
