I have a real passion for quality food and I am impatient to share it with new people. Cooking and eating all together is such a good experience that I don't want to keep it just for me! I'm realy enthusiastic for the genuine italian cuisine since childhood and I look forward to meet new "lovers" every day!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely incredible experience!

Luca is an exceptional chef, passionate and above all very available to his customers. He makes a huge effort to make everyone feel comfortable and he speaks perfect French, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. We discovered the real way to prepare ravioli, fresh pasta and homemade tiramisu... everything was just amazing. Luca takes the time to teach us real techniques, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The time of the meal shared with him is a real plus: we exchange, laugh, lea...read more

Cooking with Luca a Florence Experience

Luca was not only a great instructor, but he was a gracious host inviting us into his home. He prepared a small appetizer before we got started and share a bit about himself and his family and how he got into cooking.

Outstanding evening, add this to your itinerary immediately!

Absolutely fantastic night! Luca is a delight and we had so much fun learning how to make two different pasta dishes and tiramisu. I have never liked tiramisu until this evening --I am a changed woman! Such a wonderful experience, and I'm sure the techniques we have learned will be one of the greatest souvenirs we will take home from this trip!
