Wonderful experience!!!

Our cooking experience with Lorenzo was spectacular. We started at the Rialto market buying everything fresh then went back and spent hours preparing and cooking a delicious authentic Italian meal. He was patient and friendly and his hospitality was warm and welcoming! Would highly recommend
