Giuseppe really knows how to entertain and instruct. We learned not only the specifics of the meal that our class prepared cooperatively, but also background information about the most critical ingredients that comprise true Tuscan cooking - olive oil, cheese, fresh vegetables, wine, etc. I signed up for the class by myself and was happy to be put in a class with 7 other perfectly lovely strangers, and we bonded quickly. Giuseppe packed a lot of activity into a short amount of time. He strategically pre-prepared a number of the ingredients that would otherwise take away too much time from the class thus maximizing time for learning. It's obvious that he has listened to his students and has continuously improved his sessions because it seems he's thought of every detail. He even provides a copy of his own recipe book and a list of his favorite Lucca restaurants to guests.

A local and personal experience. Giuseppe provided us with a tour of the best local providers of specialty Luccese food in the inner city. We then proceeded to cook the food in a beautiful setting within his apartment. The five hour session was complimented with tastings of local olive oils, cheeses, accompaniments and wine. It was unhurried and he was happy to share his expertise and answer our questions. Giuseppe was cheerful and kind throughout. Attentive to special dietary requests.

Giuseppe’s Extra Virgin Cooking Class was fantastic. We also made some gorgeous new friends from UK. I highly recommend anyone to do this class. 10/10

A fantastic day cooking and tasting Lucca’s finest food. Giuseppe is a brilliant host. We were made to feel so welcome in his home. We cooked in his kitchen and dined at a table that was set beautifully. Well worth it.

What a wonderful expeerience! Giuseppe was a gracious host. His home was beautiful and the food we cooked was delicious. I would highly recomend this experience. Lucca is a beautiful walled city and we enjoyed exploring after our class. Thank you Giuseppe for making my birthday one to remember!

So much fun! Whether you are a chef, a chef want-to-be or you just love good food -- you'll have an amazing time. Giuseppe, our wonderful chef and host, met us and led us to some of his favorite places to gather a few of the ingredients for the day's meal. We progressed to his very elegant and beautifully decorated apartment. Everything was set for our arrival -- from the stunningly decorated dining table (it would put Martha Stewart to shame) to the well-designed kitchen prepared for our day's adventure. Giuseppe was prepared to deliver an exciting and delicious meal excursion for us. Have a hand in the preparation or sip on your wine and watch a magical, multi-course meal unfold in front of your eyes. If you are a chef or chef want-to-be you'll be able to pick up some tips that you won't find in any cookbook. Each course was delicious and the day was a day to remember. Don't pass up this fun, and very tasty, adventure!

My husband organised this cooking class as a wonderful surprise. What a day! Really enjoyed walking around Lucca where Guiseppe our host showed us all the great little gems in Lucca to do your grocery shopping. How to pick the best fruit and vegetables. Then heading back to his house which is located in a beautiful old palazzo. We were welcomed in his beautiful home with an interior done to great taste. The table was layed out beautifully with great little musical details. We are in the city of Puccini after all. Then started our cooking class where I finally learned how to prepare a proper risotto. Thank you Guiseppe for the wonderful afternoon. I would love to do it again and this time bring my husband along. Denise
