We had a great time. Our Chef was very friendly and informative. The food turned out delicious and now I know how to make Lasagna and Tiramisu like a real Italiana.

Great experience. authentoc, educational and fun at the same time. Both chefs were warm, friendly and with great sense of humour. Was my husband's birthday and they even made the effort to put a candle on the gelato! Thank you! Highly recommend this class.

This was so much fun! Salvo and Marcelo were fantastic, the quality of the ingredients made for some tasty lunch and I learned some new techniques for doing this at home. Even my four year old daughter who’s a picky eater had a blast and even enjoyed some pizza she made herself. Would definitely go back and either do it again or take one of their other classes.
