We had an absolutely incredible evening with Luca, making two different types of past and tiramisu. He was a very kind and knowledgeable instructor, and we got to enjoy our dinner with his wonderful family. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence!

Luca was very gracious and accommodating! He is a wonderful chef and really made us feel comfortable in his home. We were there with our four kids (14-21). We had a great evening learning, chatting & laughing! We will cherish the memory!

We spent our last night of our trip cooking pasta in Luca’s home and it was the best way to end our trip! Him and his family were so welcoming! We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu and then gathered together to enjoy the meal to end the evening. Very authentic experience and definitely recommend!

Nora R

Luca made us feel welcome and gave us every bit of cooking knowledge and tips he had. The experience was structured and fun. We liked the private experience and it allowed us to just chat. Highly recommended to everyone.

This class was amazing! Luca is awesome! My family (wife and two children; 8 and 12) and I, had the pleasure of getting a cooking class with Luca. He was knowledgeable and patient. He was engaging with my children and really amazed them. They felt comfortable around him and had them making pasta quickly. Luca had my wife and I working alongside our children. He provided background on what the food we were making and why we were doing the process. He gave my children confidence that they could make the pasta. He was patient and guided them throughout the whole dinner preparation. Luca also guided my wife and I through the process. We needed more instruction than our children! The dinner was delicious. We felt like part of his family. We could have spent hours just talking after dinner. We felt so comfortable. I STRONGLY recommend a cooking class with Luca!

Luca was a phenomenal host and the food was delicious. He gave us several tips that will help us make pasta and tiramasu so much better in the future. The session is perfect for 4 people and we had the privilege of eating with his family, which really makes the whole home cooking element come together.

This was a wonderful experience. Luca’s home is a short walk (20-30 mins) from the center of Florence in a quiet residential neighborhood. We were 3 people and there were only 2 other guests, so a very intimate and manageable size for a cooking class. Luca was warm and welcoming and the recipes were easy and delicious. If you’ve never used a motorized pasta machine before, you’re in for a treat. The tiramisu was the show-stopper. So creamy and delicious…. Loved eating the meal with Luca’s charming wife and young daughter. Great conversation, great food. What more can you ask for?

Mark_C

An amazing cooking experience with Luca! We learned about making fresh pasta and tiramisu! We created handmade ravioli and spaghetti; it was delicious! This is a great opportunity to learn and have fun! Highly recommend to take this class and learn about pasta!

Carole_M

Luca was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We had a great hands-on experience and the food was delicious. Can't wait to try out our recipes at home.
