We continue to prepare the food that he taught us to make and tell everyone we know that they should experience his classes. Just the best experience you'll ever have, so sign up and make some memories... More

Two of us attended the half day Tuscan cooking course and it was incredible. As it happened, we were the only two there so it was like attending a cookery masterclass for 4½ hours. Chef Paolo is an amazing teacher and, despite living in Tuscany most of the year, I learnt so many new cooking techniques and have now cooked... More

Chef Paolo's class was a truly enjoyable culinary experience. During the course of the "Basic Sauces" class we learned about the history of food in Italy and olive oils and their distinctive qualities. We then went on to make 5 different sauces, 3 bruschetta toppings, chicken cacciatore, then topped off with tiramisu... we sat down to a lovely lunch of... More

You get to get hands on experience with Paolo who is a fantastic chef that speaks great english. The class took around... More

This cooking class was great. I loved learning about regional Italian food, how to properly make fresh pasta, and working with Chef Paolo Monti. We made at least 6 dishes with multiple components, and then enjoyed it all for lunch. Defiantly worth the money, if only I had a week to spend in Lucca I would of taken the weekly... More
