My house is very colorful, welcoming, with a kitchen and a dining room designed by me to be welcoming, practical and functional".

- We all had a great time cooking with Luca. He was a great host and instructor. We can go home and make our own pasta now. It is so much easier than one could imagine. And who knew tiramisu was so easy to make. Cooking and having dinner with Luca has been one of the highlights of our trip for sure and we would recommend this experience to everyone.
- We had a great time with Luca! He is a very personable host and an excellent cook. I would have liked to spend a bit more time actually shopping for the food in the market and for him to have had a few less components of the meal pre-prepared; however, he explained what he'd done, and it was delicious! Luca also indulged with me by providing recommendations for products I wanted as gifts (olive oil, wine) and took me to a most wonderful wine shop on our way to the class location, where he facilitated my purchase with the staff. All in all, a fabulous experience!
- Definitely a highlight of our trip to Tuscany. This is a real deal cooking class. It's hands on and Luca is your teacher. He will give you more than any book will teach you. More importantly, you can see that Luca loves family and he was the perfect host for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it.
- 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
