Ger and myself had great fun with Salvo, he was a great teacher, we loved every minute of the course, from the market and all its riches, to the great cooking class, to the conversations and great insight into italian to the fabulous meal afterwards. It was excellent, highly recommend it

Filippo, the Chef, was amazing. He was fun, friendly, and gave us an incredible cooking experience. The food was delicious!!! The market tour was a bonus with a small tasting and we are bringing home some great olive oil and spices.
