Wonderful hosts, delicious food, beautiful setting!

We had an amazing experience with Barbara and Stefano, learning how to make authentic local food. They were so knowledgeable and shared their insights willingly, not just about the food we made with them but also on details such as what to look for when shopping for ingredients when we get back home. They were charming and witty and the experience is one we will fondly remember for a very long time. We would absolutely take another class with them!

Do not miss! A perfect taste of Ligurian cuisine!

We took the ferry from Monterosso to Riomaggiore for our class. It was a beautiful ride, but our time with Lucca was even more magical. Lucca is a delightful host. We learned history of the food and he was very funny and kind in his instruction. Our meal was perfectly delicious! It was our best night in Italy/CT so far. Would highly recommend this amazing class with Lucca!
