Learning from Chef Luana was such a fun experience! She's a master of her craft and is passionate about her recipes. And yes, the pizza was AMAZING! This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience (only because I live across the country) that I will never forget. I hope I can return to learn more from Chef Luana someday!

What a great class! My partner and I went for a date night and it did not disappoint. Chef Luana’s class was the perfect mix of learning to make a dish and having the “hard parts” done for us (making up the appetizer, cooking the pasta, etc.) although this was done in a sort of demo style. Who knew gnocchis were such hard work! We brought some leftovers home and look forward to enjoying them in the future. The dishes were beautifully displayed and tasted delicious. She was mindful of dietary restrictions and offered great alternatives so everyone could enjoy their meal without having to make a sacrifice. I highly recommend this personal class, it was quite the memorable evening.

Chef Luana inherited her culinary passion from her grandmother. Born and raised in Italy, she found success as an entrepreneur after establishing a beachside restaurant in her home country while mastering the time-honored art of pizza oven cuisine. She is one of Italy’s precious few professional female pizza makers who utilizes wood-oven cookery. Chef Luana’s classes breathe new life into old-world recipes and traditional techniques as she passes her considerable knowledge to her students.
