- We had an amazing time at Luca’s home and cooking lab! We learned to make 3 different recipes and enjoyed the meal with Luca and his family. His passion for cooking was obvious and he ensured that we were following along and could get involved with understanding important points in order to remake the recipe when at our home. Highly recommend taking a class with Luca! The food was also delicious!
- Highly recommend Luca as your Chef
- This was a highlight of our trip to Florence. Luca was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time preparing two types of fresh pasta, homemade tiramisu and sitting down and eating the meal we prepared with him. We would highly recommend this cooking experience.
- This was truly a memorable experience. Luca was a wonderful host and talented chef. He was very engaging and personable. We all enjoyed preparing the meal together and learned a lot. We felt very at home in Luca’s house. The meal was delicious and we will definitely try to replicate the meal at home. This was my children’s favorite activity on our trip through Italy. Thank you for a special night.
- Luca was a tremendous host. We started by going to the local market to buy our produce. This gave us a great feel for how the local people of Florence go about preparing meals for their families. Once we got the produce we went back to Luca’s home and started cooking our three course meal. Luca was very good at showing us how to prepare the food as well as explain why the food needed to be prepared in certain ways. After the meal was cooked we had a lunch with Luca and his wonderful family. After the meal we sat around the table in typical Italian fashion and had great conversation about arts, sciences, and difference/similarities between Italy and America. Overall excellent experience and highly recommend to anyone looking for a personal cooking class.
