Chef Luana is amazing! You really are transported to Italy with her class. I surprised my husband with the gnocchi class for his birthday and it was just us with Chef Luana. She even had a happy birthday sign hung up for him! Her knowledge and technique is amazing, which comes as no surprise considering she started making gnocchi with her grandmother at the age of NINE!!!! It was an honor to be taught by Chef Luana and we can’t wait to go back again!!!

Had a fantastic experience making gnocchi with chef Luana! My boyfriend and I took the class for a birthday celebration, and it was a perfect way to enjoy time together while learning something new. Chef Luana was very welcoming and patient as she taught us her gnocchi recipe, as well as showed us how to make an amazing cheese sauce to go with it. She also provided homemade bread with bruschetta as an appetizer, and ice cream for dessert. I'd highly recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to prepare a delicious dish or just celebrate a special occasion.
