We had an amazing time making fettuccine veggie and spaghetti ragu from scratch! My favorite part was folding the dough and running it through the pasta roller. It was such a fun, hands-on experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone who loves Italian food or wants to learn how fresh pasta is made from start to finish!
Booked the class Pizza With Pizzazz with Chef Luana in Los Angeles (Central LA)
Chef Luana’s pizza class was fantastic! The first thing you learn is that great pizza is all about the dough, and Chef Luana does an incredible job explaining every step of the process in a way that’s both detailed and easy to follow. I had no idea how much craftsmanship goes into making the perfect dough until taking this class. Chef Luana is a wonderful teacher and is clearly passionate about what she does. My wife and I loved hearing her stories and learning the “why” behind each step, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The pizzas we made were absolutely delicious, and we left feeling excited to recreate them at home. We can’t wait to put our new skills to use and are already looking forward to taking more of Chef Luana’s classes. Highly recommended for anyone who loves pizza or simply wants to learn from an exceptional instructor!

My husband and I loved this date night. We took a cooking class in Italy for our honeymoon but class with Luana in her apartment felt even more authentic than that - it was like cooking with Nonna. Everything was delicious and I’m excited to make more gnocchi at home. Will definitely be booking Luana again.

This was a birthday surprise for my partner and we had such a good time! Chef Luana was warm, welcoming, and hilarious. She was very detailed and hands-on in teaching us how to make spaghetti and fettuccine, and you can really sense her passion! The sauces she made to go along with the pasta (vegetable and ragu) were both so fresh and delicious. We were so proud of how our pasta came out lol, it was harder than we thought but such a rewarding process. Chef Luana also gave us super yummy brioche for dessert, and a little birthday gift for my partner which was so sweet. Overall, such a fun and special experience, and we had an amazing meal - thank you Chef Luana!

Chef Luana was a very gracious host (she made us cappuccinos and tiramisu!) and taught us everything there is to know about her background and the pasta making process. We made spaghetti, fettuccine, and vegetable sauce (but we got to try ragu as well!). We had such a lovely time and would highly recommend for date nights or a gift to a loved one! She even brought us a birthday banner and sash :)

We had a great night with Chef Luana. We made spaghetti and fettuccine and it was amazing. She showed us how to make the pasta and how she’s cooks it. We will definitely be back to try the gnocchi. Great time!
Booked the class Succulent Handmade Gnocchi with Chef Luana in Los Angeles (Central LA)
Chef Luana welcomed us as family for an unforgettable cooking class. Her love for cooking and years of experience was shared with us as we made the most delicious gnocchi. We enjoyed a homemade ragu gnocchi and a cheese blend gnocchi - both were so yummy, we couldn’t pick a favorite! We also indulged in bruschetta, and dessert. Chef Luana grew up in a part of Italy not far from where my grandfather grew up, which made the whole experience even more special and we felt right at home! Thank you, Chef Luana, for the most wonderful time and new culinary skills to last a lifetime. Hope to cook with you again soon! - James and Amanda

Chef Luna gave us an unforgettable experience. I will never look at pasta the same way again. I walked away with a deeper respect for the craft and can’t wait to start making my own at home.

Highly recommend to anyone who loves great food and a truly special culinary experience.

Chef Luana was great from start to end. I surprised my wife with a fettuccine and spaghetti making class and the experience overall was super great.

We started by making the pasta sauce, then moved on to preparing two types of pasta, spaghetti and fettuccine. Chef Luana guided us every step of the way, making everything easy to follow, and both dishes turned out absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this class—the chef is genuinely one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and the food was amazing.

This Gnocchi cooking class with Chef Luana was absolutely incredible a truly authentic Italian experience from start to finish. From learning traditional techniques passed down through generations to understanding the heart behind each dish, there is truly nothing like being welcomed into an Italian family kitchen. The ingredients, the stories, and the hands-on process made everything so special. The gnocchi we made was beyond delicious, and the entire experience was thoughtful, intimate, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a genuine, traditional Italian cooking class that goes far beyond a recipe, this is it. Highly recommend to anyone who loves food, culture, and meaningful experiences.

Chef was incredible! It was the definition of a cozy meal. Upon leaving, we felt like we were departing from the warm comfort of a grandmother‘s Italian household. We learned how to make spaghetti and fettuccine. We ate delicious sauces without and had fun conversation. She is an accomplished chef with many wonderful stories to share. What a wonderful evening it was for our family. We highly recommend it.

My wife has always gone out of her way to demonstrate her love and care for me, including taking me on a trip to Italy last year, my first time in Europe. So, when it bame time to celebrate her 60th birthday, I wanted to make it something that would touch her heart. She loves Italy and she loves cooking shows, so I thought that she might really enjoy some up close and personal time with an expert in preparation of Italian cuisine. I was blessed to find Chef Luana, a restauranteur from Italy with over 50 years of experience and someone who is committed to making time spent in her kitchen is joyous and scrumptious. Chef Luana walked us through the steps to make gnocchi, dressed three different ways, all while also making brushetta for us to nosh on. After the gnocchi Chef Luana brought out a cake that she made specially before our arrival to celebrate my wife's birthday. After three hours of cooking, eating, and listening to the chef's tales of running a restaurant in Italy we left feeling well satisfied. It was an event that helped jumpstart a full day of activites to bring a smile to my wife's face and heart and Chef Luana got the ball rolling. I highly recommend takng any of her classes. I intend to take both her pasta class and her pizza making class in the not-to-distant future.

The entire experience was extremely easy to follow and really fun! Me and my girlfriend both agreed that the food was amazing. We made spaghetti and fettuccine pasta from scratch and ate it with her vegetable tomato sauce and ragu sauce! Her hospitality and experience was a moment to remember. Can’t wait to come back again in the future!

Chef Luana gave us an unforgettable experience in her pasta class. Not only did we learn how to make incredible pasta, but we were treated to a meal constructed only from Italian ingredients. Everything from her olive oil, flour, and cheeses, down to the white pepper and salt (no joke!) she either brought home from her last visit to Italy or sourced from her importer so that the food she prepares is as authentic as it gets. While our sauce cooked, before we prepared our pasta, Chef Luana made us a simple salad, which was divine. My mom and I were both in awe of how delicious our vegetable pasta with fettuccini was. We were practically licking our plates! And after our meal, she made us an espresso (also brought to us from Italy!) and it was the perfect end to a perfect meal. Thank you Chef Luana for a fabulous mother-daughter class!

Such a fun and memorable experience! Chef Luana was warm, engaging, and made the whole pizza-making process so approachable—even for beginners. We made our dough from scratch, learned helpful tips on toppings and baking techniques, and got to personalize our pizzas. The class was super hands-on but still relaxed, and Chef Luana created such a welcoming, social vibe. It honestly felt like being at a friend’s house for a homemade pizza night—except with a pro guiding us every step of the way. Perfect for a date night or just something fun and different to do with your family. I’d definitely take another class with her!

It was such a fun filled class with Chef Luana. It was our mother's day celebration, child free time learning something new and Chef Luana made it very enjoyable. She warmly welcomed us in her home and in her kitchen and walked us through the pasta making effortlessly. The cooking and the stories made the experience feel like a Sunday dinner with your family. I definitely highly recommend Chef Luana for anyone who wants to learn how to cook or bake and I will definitely come back for more of her classes in the future.

The gnocchi class with Chef Luana was absolutely fabulous. My better half and I had the best time learning and experiencing true Italian cuisine from this master chef! Her authenticity and detail to creating the meal made us feel as though WE were Italian chefs. We have not stopped bragging about our experience with Chef Luana and how amazingly good the food was. We look forward to exposing our friends and family to the gifts of cooking/preparing meals that she offers. Needless to say, I highly recommend Chef Luana's cooking class! I've uploaded a few photos, but don't judge us too harshly. We are not quite at Chef Luana's level just yet!
