"I love good food and I have been cooking for a lifetime! For years, I have also been dedicated to the search for cuisine that is not only delicious but also health-conscious: low-cholesterol and low-sugar desserts, and homemade pasta made with stone-ground flours from small mills... In many cases, it is possible to cook great dishes with local ingredients, without compromising on health." However, this should not be an excuse for creating mediocre dishes: if they are not good, it's pointless for them to be healthy!

- Amazing! We would def recommend… the food was beyond outstanding! Carlo was extremely thorough and great at explaining all of details about making the pasta. It was very hands on and he patiently answered all our questions. It was also so cool to be in an actual local’s home. It was a beautiful kitchen!! We would def take another class from Carlo!
- What a wonderful evening! The food was amazing and the experience was perfect! Thank you to the host!
- Fabulous home based and authentic cooking. Cacio e Pepe now a favourite and will try at home
- Our cooking class with Chef Carlo was one of the highlights of our Italy trip! The food was incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and Chef Carlo's teaching style made the experience both fun and memorable. We learned so much, enjoyed a fantastic meal, and appreciated his generosity in sharing his recipes with us. We can't wait to try them at home. Highly recommend!
- We had an excellent and memorable experience with Carlo, learning how to prepare tiramisu and 2 pasta dishes. Carlo is patient--explaining clearly and demonstrating fully his techniques for preparing the dishes, while giving ample opportunity for us to have a full hands-on experience. We were able to eat the dishes we had (with help) prepared. We very much enjoyed our time with Carlo and look forward to trying his recipes in our home. We highly recommend a session with Carlo for anyone interested in learning about and experiencing preparation of classic Italian dishes.
