    Lorenzo is such a lovely host! He showed us how to make tiramisu, ravioli from scratch and baked fish. He gave as a lot of recommendations to enjoy our next days in Venice, too. So glad we did this experience!!

    We had the best time with Lorenzo! This was such a fun and learning experience. We made pasta, which will be easy to do at home; made Tiramisu, which I will be making for a dinner party on Friday night; and a delicious sauce with eggplant. Lorenzo made sure everyone had a chance to try each activity and participate. The food was delicious! I would recommend cooking with Lorenzo!

    Four of us booked this class with Lorenzo and we're so happy that we did. From start to finish, this experience was everything we'd hoped for. We learned about Venetian cuisine, culture, and life along with learning techniques to make delicious food. Lorenzo taught us how to make 3 kinds of pasta, an incredible vegetarian sauce from scratch, and even tiramisu. This class also allowed all attendees to share life experiences (and we also learned some about Norway from other attendees), it was exactly the type of warm and friendly experience we were hoping to have.
