Born and raised in Italy, Chef Luana inherited a culinary passion from her grandmother. She has enjoyed entrepreneurial success at a beachside restaurant in Italy mainly due to her mastery with the pizza oven, as she is one of Italy’s few professional female pizza makers working with a wood burning oven. Chef Luana's old world recipes and techniques find new life in her classes with quality ingredients and genuine flavors.

I had the absolute best time cooking pasta with my two gal pals and Chef Luana! She went above and beyond, making the experience feel just like cooking with an Italian family—though I’m not Italian, it was exactly how I imagine it would be! Luana was not only an incredible teacher, but she also surprised us with free cake and tea at the end. If you're looking for a fun, authentic, and heartwarming cooking experience, book with her! Luana was very good at teaching as well as gave us free cake and tea at the end. Book with her!

I had an exceptional experience in the pasta-making class led by Chef Luana. From the outset, she was highly responsive and communicative, ensuring all details were clear prior to the class. Upon arrival, she warmly welcomed us into her home, which provided a comfortable and inviting setting for the session. Chef Luana's teaching style was both informative and engaging, and the class was well-structured and thoughtfully organized. The food was absolutely delicious, and the class duration of approximately 2.5 hours was perfectly paced. I highly recommend this class!
