Memorable & Fun 🇮🇹 Cooking Experience - I attended the cooking class and it was a fantastic experience!
The instructor was incredibly nice, gentle, & easygoing, creating a relaxed & enjoyable atmosphere.
He explained everything in a way that made it easy for us to recreate the dishes at home.
The setup was also perfect we’d prepare each dish, then sit down to enjoy it, rest for a few minutes, and move on to the next one.
I especially loved hearing his backstory about becoming a chef & learning more about Italian culture. It wasn’t just about cooking; it was a window into how Italian people live and do things, which made the class even more special.
The class really brightened my day!!
I would strongly recommend this class to anyone interested in Italian food, cooking in general, or engaging in activities with their loved ones.

Learning to cook pasta like an Italian - We had a great time making tiramisu, gnocchi, and a stuffed pasta with fresh tomato sauce. Everything was delicious! I can’t wait to try making these recipes at home. Francesco did a great job explaining the techniques.

Best meal on our visit to Italy!! - This was, hands down, the best meal we had in Italy. And we helped to make it! We attended the class with our two teen daughters on our first night in Milan. The kitchen was a 10-minute Metro ride from the city center (we easily found our train using apple maps) and an easy 4-5 minute walk from the Metro station. The space was very nice...air conditioned, with large, floor to ceiling windows surrounding us, and a lovely dining room.
As for the class, Chef Francesco was amazing! He was so friendly, and immediately put my daughters at ease. He explained everything, and kindly checked our work and made sure we were on track for a delicious meal. We made gnocchi with truffle sauce, ravioli with fresh tomato sauce, and tiramisu. And the entire group made everything (meaning that we didn't divide and conquer the recipes, so we all really felt like we made the entire meal). While we worked, he told us about his life in Italy, his progression as a chef working around Europe, his family, and asked us lots of questions, keeping my daughters happy and engaged. As the meal was being plated, he served us all in the dining room, providing both red and white wine for the adults.
This was absolutely our favorite experience in Milan. My daughters loved it, and we were still talking about our meal on the flight home....it was so delicious!! Chef Francesco sent us all of the recipes after the class, and we've already tried the gnocchi back home! I would recommend Chef Francesco's class to anyone!

Just do it - The experience was great and the food was even better! Sure our little raviolis didn’t turn out looking exactly like Chef Francesco’s, but the flavor was all there. Highly recommend this class to anyone who eats food.

Engaging cooking class with flowing bubbly - My wife and I had the chance to take a cooking class with Francesco and it was everything it was advertised to be and more.
First, Francesco was a great host. There were a few persons who ran a little late for the class and made sure those of us who were there had plenty bubbly to keep us entertained while we waited for the others. And when they arrived and we started, the class was great. Second, Francesco’s teaching style had us all feeling like professional chefs ourselves, and we enjoyed a delicious meal and delightful company.
Finally, it’s an incredible way to get immersed in Italian culture while spending time in Milan. If you’re on the fence - get off! Book the class - you won’t be disappointed.
