We couldn't recommend this enough to ANYONE who likes food, good service, or just vibe.”

Luca was both hilarious and a brilliant teacher, and Erika was so encouraging and kind, and all of the food the group made together was delicious. As someone who is not a confident cook I learnt so much and really enjoyed the day, and have the confidence now to try making tagliatelle back home. Thank you Luca and Erika!”

“I don’t remember our chefs name but she was fabulous. We started at the Centrale Market and did a truffle, balsamic and olive oil tasting and it was wonderful. After the market we walked to the cooking school which was about a 10-15 min walk. The school is lovely and our group was 4 of us so it was a more intimate cooking experience. We made 4 courses and everything was so simple to make and turned out delicious. My favorite course was the chicken, it was exceptional. My Mom and I enjoyed this class so much and would do it again.”
