What a wonderful experience. Niccolo was a fantastic chef and host for all of us, the timing of all the activity was perfect, no glitches. My family and I walked away feeling very happy for having participated in this. Thank you Niccolo, you’re awesome!

This class was fantastic. Alice was our instructor and she was phenomenal and is very passionate about what she does. We had great results and would highly recommend taking this class. The class was well laid out and even though we had a full class, everyone had ample space to work with, and we even made some friends! It is located in the perfect location, close to a wonderful little market so after we were finished, we even did some shopping there. If I could change one thing, it would be getting there on time as we were a little delayed since we had to travel from our cruise ship stop in La Spezia. We highly recommend this class. I only wish we were closer so I could take it again 😊

Lisa is an amazing funny chef who loves to teach people how to make pizza. I loved the cooking class and learned a lot. The best part is that you get to try your pizza at the end with a glass of wine and choc gelato to finish it off. It was a great hands on experience and I had so much fun! :) Kind regards, Bianca
