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 was amazing! Not only is she an incredible cook and teacher, but she was such a delight and her personality makes the experience even better. This was truly an authentic adventure and the food was so good. My wife and I will definitely be back for more classes!

Chef Luana was an absolute joy and I learned so much from her class. I had been trying to make pasta on my own with very poor results. Chef Luana is unpretentious and down to earth and explains the process and nuances for making pasta and associated sauces very clearly so that a novice cook can understand them and put them to practice. The three of us in the Saturday afternoon class - a married couple and me as a single - made a simple tomato sauce, spaghetti and fettucine. Our lunch and dessert were wonderful - I wished I could have stayed there all day! She has a very charming apartment and has many stories to tell of her family in Italy and here in the US. Chef Luana can customize classes around any aspect of Italian cooking - I will be back!

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.
