    I took Ivan’s 3 course cooking class where we made fresh pesto, pasta, and tiramisu! It was an incredible experience to cook with Ivan who gave us all his secret cooking tips. The class could not have been in a better setting. We cooked together in his historic home located in a lovely seaside town. We closed the evening dining in the home’s garden. I highly recommend this class!

    Words cannot describe how amazing our time with Ivan truly was. The food, wine, and hands on cooking was the experience of a lifetime for me and my family. The greatest thing however was Ivan’s warm personality, kindness, and him being a man who values his family and guests. The pesto was out of this world and overall it was stellar! Thank you again!!

    An amazing experience! Ivan and his family were amazing hosts. We learned how to make pesto traditionally and gnocchi as well. He has everyone engaged in helping make the dishes and then treated us to a beautiful lunch on his home in the garden area. There were 4 courses total, each was exceptional. What a wonderful experience sharing a meal with folks from around the world and having someone open their home for us to experience. I cannot recommend this enough - a must do if you are near Rapallo area!

    Fantastic! Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful experience with Ivan! We were so fortunate to spend an afternoon with Ivan and his friend Carla, as well as his wife Paola, and son Federico. Ivan showed us how to prepare several Ligurian dishes in their gorgeous 15th century home, which we enjoyed for lunch with some delightful wine from sommelier Paola’s beautiful Enoteca “Monna Bianca”. (Also very much worth a visit!) Highly recommend. We will return to Ivan for another experience on our next trip to Italy!

    Absolutely fabulous lunchtime experience. What a fantastic meal, beautiful house and most importantly, wonderful company. Ivan is a really great teacher and to top it all off his wife Paola runs the wine shop ‘Monna Bianca’ (via Dante, 56) below the apartment.
