We had so much fun with Luana, we made a risotto and chili ate mousse. She was a great teacher and the food was delicious
Perry M.
I had a wonderful experience with Chef Luana! Not only did I add some healthy and delicious recipes to my repertoire, I learned a lot about the beauty and simplicity of authentic Italian cooking. I highly recommend Chef Luana!
Had a great time cooking and chatting with Chef Luana. Learned how to make healthy and delicious food in a realistic kitchen setting - can't wait to cook the amazing dishes at home. Pineapple with burrata was an amazing combo, and the homemade bread was great too! Risotto was mouthwatering, especially with a few tips from Chef Luana on how to make it super creamy and flavorful (and still healthy!). Chef Luana was very welcoming, and her place felt like home! We would love to be back for more classes. Recommend this class!

I had a wonderful time cooking with Chef Luana! It was an intimate cooking experience where we learned how to make a delicious saffron risotto and chocolate mousse. We also prepared a pineapple burrata appetizer and a cannellini bean bruschetta. It was very educational and a fun, authentic, and collaborative environment. It was great to hear Chef Luana's stories from owning a restaurant in Italy and her tips and tricks for Italian cooking. I highly recommend this course and I look forward to trying out her other courses!
Natalie R.
A wonderful experience! Chef Luana did a fantastic job of giving a very hands-on experience, and her recipes are delicious. Thank you!
Ali J.
What a wonderful experience cooking risotto with Chef Luana this evening. All the ingredients were fresh and some brought back from her hometown in Italy. I really love risotto and I could never make it to the quality of a restaurant at home, but now with her instruction, I am able to do it.
Trinidad B.
I bought this cooking class for my mom and her two girlfriends. They loved every moment of it. Hopefully, I can get her another class before she heads back to the east coast. I highly recommend Chef Luna
MaryAnn F.
Great chef. Food was delicious, light, and tasty. We enjoyed our experience.
Elinor B.
Chef Luana provided helpful, clear demonstrations and descriptions of how to cook delicious Italian foods with basic, but excellent, ingredients for a meal that combined delicious, inventive flavor combinations. She helped us understand the keys to producing such a meal in ways that gave us confidence we could also succeed at such cooking. Thank you Chef Luana!
Masato K.
We learned a lot, from the right ingredients to the right techniques, and the food turned out perfect. It was a very enjoyable experience, highly recommend.
Lindsey M.
I took the class “Food that Empowers Your Mind” with my two colleagues for a team bonding experience and we had a fantastic time! The food was fresh, delicious, and we learned valuable tips for making risotto. Chef Luana was a joy to be around. She has so much knowledge to share about cooking and it inspired me to spend more time cooking at home because it can taste better and be better for you than ordering out. We work at an environmental nonprofit and I appreciated the sustainability aspect of it as well. No plastic water bottles, she gave us each water glasses and had a water cooler, we each got our own hand towel for the bathroom, and the food is bought in larger quantities. I recommend Chef Luana to anyone wanting to learn or be inspired to cook more, and it’s a great unique opportunity for work/family/friend events.
Lynda C.
We had a fabulous time at Chef Luana’s class! If you always dreamed of being transported to Italy to attend a cooking class, book one with her first. We felt like we learned so much about authentic Italian cooking techniques, flavors and products. Our friend was celebrating her birthday and Chef Luana made it so special for her with birthday decor and a delicious chocolate cake. I would highly recommend her class to family and friends!
john b.
Absolutely one of our best ideas in a long time. The food, just like the conversation, was full of flavor and surprises. Chef Luana is the real deal. Full of stories, instruction and Italian soul. We weren’t sure how the evening would go but our highest hopes were surpassed 100x. Can’t wait to do it again. Wow.
Géraldine G.
Offering Chef Luana's class to my daughter was the best Christmas gift. She enjoyed the evening, learned a lot and felt like she was in Italy. She highly recommends the experience, as well as her friend who also participated in the class.

I chose to cook with Chef Luana with and for my nephews as a going away gift and they were amazed at the vegetarian dish created, especially by how simple it was! Cooking with Chef Luana is much like cooking with family. Her home is beautiful and inviting and she loves to help!
Rami H.
Chef Luana was amazing! Such a sweet woman and amazing cook / teacher
Great home cook and delicious meal. Will come back again
Leyla B.
Chef Luana was amazing. Very kind and lovely. Her risotto recipe was delicious, light and healthy. I usually don’t order this at restaurants because it’s too heavy. Hers was perfect. Highly recommend.
Julian N.
Chef Luana hosted my girlfriend and I for a private risotto cooking session and it was amazing. She took care of the prep work hours before our arrival and let us do the fun stuff of preparing our appetizers and cooking the dish itself. Chef Luana covered every detail to ensure a very private and exclusive dining experience! She is also a very pleasant person to be around. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
Our class was wonderful. As soon as we walked in, Chef Luana made us feel at home. She decorated the table for Valentines Day which was a thoughtful touch! There were two other couples there and it was just the right size group to get to know each other a bit and enjoy a meal with everyone together. We each had a few minutes to work with her in the kitchen, and the rest of the time we listened and watched as the recipe came together. The only thing that would have been nice is if we each had some food preparation task or something else we could do to participate more. Overall it was a really fun and interesting experience. :)
Mildred Grijalva .
Delicious and easy. Thank you for welcoming us to your home

Chef Luana was amazing!!! It was my mom's birthday and she surprised her with a cake in addition to the rest of the food we learned to make. The food was so good, she used fresh Italian ingredients, and her husband gave great service. Such a lovely experience and I will definitely be referring her to my friends.
Arun C.
After much anticipation for Chef Luana's risotto cooking class, I left feeling cheated of both time and money. What was advertised as a hands-on culinary experience turned out to be little more than an uncomfortable sales pitch with minimal cooking involvement. "Hands-on" apparently meant chopping an onion and dicing a pineapple. That's it. Nearly everything else was pre-prepared, leaving us as audience members rather than participants. I came expecting to learn techniques and timing for perfect risotto, but instead watched as Chef Luana worked with components she had already prepared before our arrival. Most uncomfortable was the relentless self-promotion throughout the session. Rather than focusing on our learning experience, Chef Luana continuously pitched her various side businesses—offering to meal prep for us weekly, showcase her crochet work, and repeatedly suggesting she could cater our future events. At one point, she even suggested that we should consider a smaller wedding so that she and her friend could handle the catering! This unsolicited advice and constant selling created an awkward atmosphere that overshadowed any culinary instruction. To make matters worse, Chef Luana repeatedly brought up tipping throughout the class, making awkward mentions of her Venmo account multiple times. The not-so-subtle hints about gratuity created additional tension in what was already an uncomfortable atmosphere. Being reminded about tips before we'd even finished the experience felt tactless and presumptuous. At the end she pointed at her venmo link that is printed out forcing you to tip. The overall unprofessionalism was staggering. From the lack of preparation to the blatant business solicitation and tip-hunting, it felt less like a cooking class and more like being trapped in an extended infomercial. Finally, Chef Luana didn't provide any written instructions or ingredient measurements for ANY of the dishes—making it impossible to recreate at home, which defeats the entire purpose of taking a cooking class. Save your money and look elsewhere for cooking classes that actually teach you to cook.

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!
Efrain M.
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.

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!

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!
Amanda G.
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

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.

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.

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.

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!

We made gnocchi with two sauces - four cheese and tomato basil for the first time. Chef Luana is very hospitable and her place feels like home. She taught me and my husband to make gnocchi from scratch (potato), and we are able to follow her techniques and recipe from start to finish. Chef Luana is very proud of her origin and homemade food and techniques and kindly share her culture, culinary knowledge and expertise with us. We are also surprised with some homemade bread bruschetta and tiramisu as desert. We highly recommend her cooking class & service to anyone who loves authentic homemade Italian food!

We took a private Italian cooking class with Chef Luana and it was such a special experience. Cooking together as a couple made it feel intimate and fun, and Chef Luana was an incredible teacher—warm, patient, and clearly passionate about her craft. We made gnocchi completely from scratch, and I was amazed at how approachable she made the process while still sharing authentic techniques and tips. The gnocchi turned out absolutely delicious—pillowy, flavorful, and honestly better than any restaurant versions we’ve had. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable, hands-on culinary experience!

Walking into Chef Luana’s class felt like accidentally wandering into the kitchen of the Italian grandmother you wish you had—if your grandmother also happened to run a tight culinary ship and tell hilarious stories while brandishing a wooden spoon. She greeted us with this electric, generous energy that basically said, “You’re mine now, and I’m going to feed you properly.” Los Angeles disappeared; suddenly we were somewhere on the east coast of Italy where carbs are a love language and no one apologizes for butter. We dove straight into handmade gnocchi, learning exactly how the dough should feel—soft, pillowy, and just this side of dangerous. While our little potato clouds were resting, we shifted to bruschetta: golden toast piled high with colorful, gorgeous toppings, all narrated by Luana’s running commentary on real Italian cooking (and what absolutely does not count). When the gnocchi finally hit the table with a silky white sauce and a bright, rich red sauce, there was this collective silence around the room—the kind that only happens when everyone’s too busy having a minor religious experience with their fork. And then came dessert: tiramisu so good it has personally ruined every restaurant version for me from this day forward. The real secret, though, isn’t the recipe—it’s Chef Luana herself. The essential ingredient in every dish she teaches is a huge, unapologetic love for the food and for the people she’s cooking for and cooking with. You don’t just leave full; you leave feeling adopted.

What a lovely evening with an amazing chef! This was our first time doing a Cozymeal class and had no idea what to expect. Cooking class at someone’s place I never met? Ok. Chef Luana was warm and welcoming. We walked in and she had everything set up so nicely with our working spots and the dining table. Then she explained how the evening would go. I immediately fell in love with her Italian accent and felt like I was back in Europe. The class was fun as we joked around, and chef was very patient with us. The gnocchi was easier to make than I thought!! Once it was made and cooked we got to eat the fruits of our labor, including amazing bruschetta which I loved the eggplant, the gnocchi in tomato pork sauce and 4 cheese sauce. It was soooo delicious! We capped the memorable night with ice cream. Chef Luana will be seeing us again!!

Our experience with Cozy Meal and Chef Luana was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly welcoming, making us feel right at home. Her passion for cooking and deep knowledge of pizza-making truly shined throughout the entire experience. We chose to make pizza, and Chef Luana guided us through every step with enthusiasm. She had everything prepped before we arrived, making the process smooth and enjoyable. Not only did she teach us how to make the perfect pizza, but she also sent us home with dough and instructions so we could recreate the magic in our own kitchen. Chef Luana’s expertise is undeniable—having learned the art of pizza-making in her home country of Italy, where she has been perfecting her craft since she was 18. She sources incredibly fresh ingredients, many of them imported from Italy, which made the flavors absolutely incredible. Beyond the cooking, we loved hearing Chef Luana’s stories and watching her in her element. The entire experience was engaging, fun, and delicious. We can’t wait to return with a bigger group so our friends and family can experience her warmth, energy, and passion firsthand. Highly recommend!

We had an absolute blast with Chef Luana! The whole experience made me feel like I was cooking with my Italian Aunt, who I miss so much. I felt very at home. The food was outstanding and we will most likely be taking a pasta class from her. I highly recommend cooking with Luana but, she doesn’t joke around this is the way you traditionally make Gnocchi. This is her family’s recipe handed down from generation to generation and it’s super delicious and very special.

My husband and I had an incredible experience with Chef Luana, learning how to make handmade spaghetti and fettuccine pasta from scratch. The process was both fun and educational, and Chef Luana was absolutely amazing! She guided us through each step with patience and expertise, making the whole experience enjoyable. The pasta turned out delicious—fresh, flavorful, and far superior to anything store-bought. Chef Luana's passion for cooking truly shines through in her teaching. We left not only with full bellies but also with a new skill we can't wait to use at home. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to take her Gnocchi class next.

Chef Luana's pizza class was an absolute delight. Her passion for Italian cuisine was infectious, and her expertise was evident in every step of the process. From the moment we started kneading the dough to the final bite of our homemade pizza, we were captivated by her knowledge and enthusiasm. The class was not only informative but also incredibly fun. We learned valuable techniques, such as the perfect ratio of flour to water and the importance of a well-fermented dough. Chef Luana's guidance was clear and easy to follow, making the experience enjoyable for both experienced and novice cooks. Who knew you could cut pizza with scissors. The pizzas we created were absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. We went home with more pizza than we could eat, as well as extra dough to experiment with later. Overall, Chef Luana's pizza class was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend. It's a fun, informative, and delicious way to learn a new skill and appreciate the art of making authentic Italian pizza. Joe

From the moment we stepped into her cozy, welcoming home, we knew we were in for a special treat. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for the evening.

She made sure we understood each technique, from mixing the dough to crafting the perfect pasta shapes. It was clear that she was passionate about sharing her love for authentic Italian cuisine, and her enthusiasm was contagious. The food was absolutely delicious. The chef went above and beyond to make our anniversary truly memorable, adding thoughtful touches that made the evening even more special. If you're looking for a unique, hands-on experience that combines learning, fun, and fantastic food, this pasta-making class is a must-do. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and a new appreciation for the art of pasta-making. Highly recommended!

The class was fun! I thought making pasta from scratch would be hard, but it was very doable. Chef went through each step and demonstrated how to do it too… we had 2 birthdays in our class and she was nice enough to bake us a cake and get us some appetizers and decorate the place accordingly too! It was a nice meal and nice conversation. We started at 6:30 and left close to 10pm :)

Chef Luana is a wonderful cooking instructor! We had a really fun time creating pasta from scratch- Chef Luana's own recipe from her restaurant in Italy. On top of that, we got to dine in her home and have her home-made tiramisu for desert after. It was truly a fun and unique experience. Would highly recommend anyone who is interested in learning how to cook an authentic Italian recipe to check out her classes. She hosts everything from 1:1 classes (what we did) to group birthday events. Thank you Chef Luana!!

Had such an AMAZING time! The instruction was easy to follow while being super informative (you could really ask Chef Luana any cooking question). And the food was 10 out of 10 the whole time. She baked the bread fresh herself, the red sauce was the best I've ever had and she had made a cake (fresh that morning) for the other couples 1 year anniversary and made us some coffee to go with it. Without a doubt will be back. THE best food I've had in a while (and now I can make it at home as well)

Chef Luana is the real deal, and even has her own restaurant in Italy! My husband and I took her pizza-making class and loved it! She was friendly, patient, humorous, and informative, making sure we learned but also had fun. And she infused some stories and tidbits about her Italian culture! Luana provided the perfect balance of giving us participation/experience at every level, but also having some items prepped because they take longer (ex: yeast needs hours to proof and and dough needs to rise, so we made our own to learn how but she had dough prepped and ready to use) We got to make 3 different pizzas, with some options to customize. They were all beautiful and delicious! The crust was light and crispy and unlike any other; we can't wait to try out what we learned, at home. We would definitely recommend Luana and one of her many Italian cooking classes!

A group of friends and I attended Chef Luana’s pasta making class & we couldn’t have had a better time. Chef Luana is kind, charismatic, very knowledgeable, and downright hilarious as well as hospitable. The time we spent with her was as informative as it was wholesome and we shared stories, culture, information, and gut busting laughs the whole entire time we spent with her. Definitely will be attending again. Make sure to leave room for dessert & espresso and have space inside your refrigerator for leftovers. Ciao, - Joshua & Melody

I was only in LA for the weekend and Chef Luana accommodated me the best she could with a gnocchi class a few hours before my flight. Normally the class is taken in pairs or couples but I was by myself and because I was the only one who signed up for the class that day, I was able to get one on one instruction from her. Her apartment was lovely and very accommodating for a learning environment. For the sake of time, Chef Luana had already started some of the prep as I walked into her apartment. The class provided a three course vegetarian meal with the lesson: an appetizer of bruschetta (prepared in three ways-one traditional with tomatoes, basil, and onion; one with eggplant; and one with artichoke hearts), our handmade gnocchi from scratch with two types of sauces (traditional tomato and four cheese), and lastly, for dessert: affogato. I loved Luana’s hospitality and authentic Italian accent. I don’t hear that all the time, so it made the class more fun :) Everything was cooked efficiently and was very delicious. I highly recommend taking cooking classes with Chef Luana. She also offers pasta classes, bread classes, and possibly more. I had a great time and would love to coordinate with her if I’m in visiting LA again.

We had an amazing time learning to make gnocchi yesterday from Chef Luana! When we arrived, we smelled fresh baked bread that she had made herself, which she served as part of the appetizer (3 different flavors of bruschetta). It tasted delicious! And when it came time to learn how to make the gnocchi, she was a wonderful teacher. I felt as if I was learning how to cook from a family member. Luana was so patient and sweet. It was truly a pleasure to learn from her. The gnocchi came out sooo good and we had made so much that there was plenty left over for us to take home. To top it all off, for dessert, we had a delicious affogato. Yum! We love Chef Luana and I highly recommend her!

Chef Luana was WONDERFUL. My boyfriend and I had a great time! We were there with two other couples, and made fettuccine and spaghetti. Both pastas, one with meat sauce and one with veggie sauce, were some of the most delicious pasta I've ever had. More than that, Chef Luana is a wonderful person to be around. She is very kind, and makes sure you don't mess up, even if you no experience whatsoever. After making the pasta, we ate it for dinner, and then Chef Luana served us tiramisu and tea for free for dessert. She even showed me some of her crocheted bags after, and I am going to buy one! Overall, it felt like stepping into a relative's house deep in the heart of Italy. Thank you Chef Luana!

This class was so much fun, and Luana was amazing! My friends and I booked this class for a birthday celebration for one of our best friends, and it’s an experience we will never forget. The spinach ravioli we made was the best I’ve ever had, and the homemade sauces were out of this world! Although making ravioli is a time consuming process, Luana helped us every step of the way and she was very patient and kind. Luana went above and beyond as she knew it was a birthday celebration and she added beautiful touches to our experience. I highly recommend this class as Luana is the real deal…an authentic Italian chef who is passionate about her Italian roots and her Italian cuisine. I definitely have a new found appreciation for homemade ravioli and I will definitely be taking some of her other classes in the future.

One of the most fun culinary experiences I’ve ever had. Chef Luana is the real deal. To be making pasta from scratch in her own home felt like we were in Italy. She’s been cooking since she was 18 and was a great teacher. We could really feel the love for what she does and in the food. We loved sitting down afterwards and saying “we made this pasta!” And it was SO good. Highly recommend for a date night. We met some fun people. Overall a wonderful evening!

This class was amazing! I took my boyfriend for his birthday. It was a very intimate setting in Chef Luana's house. She was warm and friendly - it was truly like having an Italian nonna teaching you how to make pizza. She had everything staged wonderfully so that we could see each step of the pizza making process. She allowed us to take many pictures of each step so we'd be able to recreate it at home. She also had us take pictures of the ingredients she used. The pizzas themselves were incredible. The dough was chewy and crispy and just was the right texture. She gave us all the leftovers which were still amazing the next day. Great food, great conversation, and Luana has over 35 years of pizza making experience from her pizzeria in Italy - it was cool to hear her life story! I definitely would recommend this class!

Chef Luana’s class was amazing! From start to finish, she was communicative, kind, and an all-around joy to spend time with. I booked this class for my boyfriend’s birthday and she had a birthday sign hanging when we walked in. It was a thoughtful little touch. It was our first time making gnocchi from scratch. Chef made the experience fun and informative, and shared her stories of Italy, family, and cooking throughout our time together. The food was delicious (especially her homemade eggplant toppings for the bruschetta). We had so many leftovers to take home with us too, and she also sent us home with a jar of fresh tomato sauce. Not sure why there’s a negative review on here given so many positive ones. Overall, would recommend for date night, a group experience with friends, or even something solo to treat yourself to!

Great class! Chef Luana was very knowledgeable about the pasta and explained to us the reasoning behind every step. The instructions were very easy to follow and the results were phenomenal. The class was held at her place, which was very cozy. If you are looking an activity you want to for 2-3 hours, I recommend taking a class with her. For 4 people would be perfect, due to limitation of class size.

This class is an authentic Italian experience taught by an Italian chef. Luana is very sweet and professional. The best part about this class is that I learned how to make fresh pasta and how to make ravioli in one class. Although that might seem overwhelming, all the instructions were really easy to follow. Luana also showed me tips and tricks along the way that I could only learn from such an experienced Italian chef. The end result was absolutely delicious. I’ll definitely be making ravioli at home now. I’m planning to try other classes with Luana. You can’t go wrong with this class.

So much fun! Luana was a wonderful chef who was just a joy to be around. It is quite exhausting, cooking all of that pasta, but it was delicious! I wish I could have taken some of the sauce home with me because it was just so yummy. Would definitely book another class with Chef Luana again!

This was a Christmas gift for my two teenage boys, ages 19 and 13, and bday gift for my older son’s gf, age 20. My kids had a great time! Chef Luana was wonderful with them, even the difficult one :-). The kids really enjoyed her sense of humor and her Italian sensibilities. She even made a special bday cake for the girlfriend. She felt very special. Overall, a memorable experience. Kids want to do a family cooking class with Chef Luana next time.

Never made pasta from scratch before and after this class can’t wait to make it again. Chef Luana was a great instructor and having her explain all the nuances in person was so valuable. The whole experience was a lot of fun. She welcomed us graciously into her home and got us set up with proper hand cleaning and work stations. She has a lot of energy and the time flew by. Very engaging and comfortable. We made two types of pasta and learned lots from trying it ourselves AND watching others. Her sauces were delicious. We were also treated to tasty dessert and limoncello. I highly recommend it!

Our pasta making class with Chef Luana was fantastic. The directions to her apartment were very clear. Her apartment was clean and organized with lots of work space. The class was small, only consisting of four of us, which catered to her providing us with individual attention. She had previously prepared two different sauce types that we got to try. Once we prepared the two different pastas she cooked them up and we ate a delicious meal. You could tell Chef Luana was very passionate about her work for cooking and teaching. This was a great activity and I would definitely come again in the future.

We had a great experience with Luana at the Fundamentals of Handmade Pasta Cooking Class! Luana welcomed us into her home and taught us how to create a delicious Italian meal. She taught us step by step how to make spaghetti and fettuccine from scratch and graciously gave us small bites in between. In addition to the pasta, we had bruschetta and salad to start and a slice of cake for dessert. We even had leftovers to take home with us. Her home was clean and professional, and we were very pleased with the fun, authentic experience Luana gave us. Looking forward to trying other classes in the future.

Chef Luana is the best! We had a great time making risotto with her. You can tell she is exceptionally passionate and knowledgeable, and she really wants to share her expertise with others. We made 2 types of risotto: mushroom + shrimp and zucchini. I rarely eat seafood, but WOW - that shrimp risotto was excellent! She also helped us make beautiful pastries with homemade jam, and even prepared extras for us to take home; it was such a nice touch to a great evening! In addition, Chef Luana prepared a delicious salad and authentic, homemade bread for us to enjoy alongside our risotto dinner - we could not have asked for more. Go take her class, make some new friends and eat some amazing food! We'll be back to do it again!

FIVESTARS for Launa's enriching kitchen; Would urge you to book Hello chefs! YOU are IN for a thrilling night. I had no idea what to expect of my evening as I was gifted this experience. I am writing this review from a surprised, un expecting point of view. From the start Launa was kind, and patient when we phoned to tell her we would be a few minutes late. ((learn from us; leave 5-7 minutes earlier)) Once we arrived I was greeted with the airy aroma of freshness. It was such a thrilling experience being handed a apron and our own prepping station. I was able to work alongside my partner making valuable memories in teamwork. Throughout the process I was able to learn facts, and hacks professionals use for the making of pizza which was great because they later make for great conversation starters. I got to ask my burning questions. However, I didn't get to ask ALL so I would encourage you to write questions in advance; taking advantage that you are asking a master! If you bring your bottle of choice, you are able to dine more comfortably, but if you are like us and did not. Chef Launa has just about everything. Also, if you happen to like her authentic Italian drinks, she has more for you to take home! The dining part happened to be my favorite favorite. Chef Launa has a passion for what she does, it is o so obvious and contagious. Chef Launa structures her life around this lifestyle because of that we are all brought a little closer; She is dedicated, inspiring, and has so much knowledge to offer you. It is rare to find a genuine teacher who paved a way for themselves. Nobody will be able to take away chefs knowledge for her specialty, and neither will they from you once you take this amazing class. I am so thankful for this opportunity, Chef makes your life easier so all you takeaway from this experience is the lost calories from laughter, and delicious airy pizza. At the end of the night just when my partner and I were ready to head out for dessert; she offered just as she had all evening. Overall, the evening was a fantastic experience. Launa was so encouraging and urged you to take food home. This was such a refreshing experience for the mind, soul, and belly; A mighty per-fect afternoon.

My mostly remote team got together in person and took the pasta making class. This is a perfect team experience because after making the pasta together, Luana paired the pasta with two different sauces during which time we were able to catch up. The pasta was perfect and Luana's instructions were so simple and easy to follow I'm confident we can replicate it at home as well.

Chef Luana was amazing. We had two other couples with us and the whole experience ended up being great. It was like going to your friends mothers Italian household and being invited to get a lesson in the true traditional ways of making pasta. There is no messing around when it comes to pasta, and if you are doing it incorrectly, Chef Luana will smack you into your place (not literally). Respect for the food is key. At the end of the dinner you feel like you have made a friend. Oh and there will be plenty to take home for later.

The highlight of this experience for me was being able to sample Chef Luana's green spinach Tagliatelle - it was one of the best plates of pasta I've had in the 4 years that I've lived in LA. Of course, the plate of pasta my friend and I made was delicious as well, and Chef Luana sent us both home with some extras. Couple the time block of education with a three course meal and some leftovers, and I'd say you're definitely getting your bang for your buck out of this Cozymeal.

Wonderful experience. Chef Luana really goes all out. Very welcoming and very kind to a novice like me with questionable egg scrambling skills who accidentally let one of the pasta sheets go through the machine before it was ready. Experience includes a fabulous multi-course meal, plus pasta to take home. Lots of fun and great value. Highly recommended.

I wasn't sure what to expect walking into my first Cozymeal experience. I see the emails all the time and finally decided to try pasta making. Then, I arrived late; but, by the end of the night, my anxiety had melted away. I made and ate some amazing pasta and found some new friends. I’ve watched pasta making online, but it’s not quite the same. Chef Luana took care in guiding us through the process of making pasta from beginning to end (mistakes or not). We cooked and shared stories with each other. I felt welcomed and full with food. It was a great experience! Grazie!

This was an amazing experience! My boyfriend had booked this session for our anniversary and we had a blast! Chef Luana is a delightful person and she had everything prepared and ready to go as soon as we arrived. We made the gnocchi dough from scratch and shaped it during the first past of the experience. We then helped her boil the handmade pasta. Afterwards, she prepared them in two different sauces. We had bruschetta first, followed by the gnocchi, and then ice cream. The whole meal tasted amazing. It was better than even the restaurants I’ve been to around the Hollywood area. This experience is a must to enjoy! We will definitely come visit Chef Luana again.

What a fantastic experience learning from Chef Luana!! I never had an Italian mother to teach me how to intuitively cook homemade food...but if I did I could only hope she'd be like Luana. She's so charming, knowledgeable, and talented that you can't help but enjoy the lesson...and then when the food is ready to eat, you're knocked back in your chair by how simple and delicious everything tastes. This was the perfect experience for my anniversary!

We did this as a birthday present for my brother, and it was a fun and delicious treat for all of us! There was 3 in our party and we had the whole class to ourselves. The spaghetti we made was so delicious! I had never had pasta that fresh before! It was a great balance of her teaching us and helping us through the process, and her having some stuff pre-prepared so that it didn’t actually feel like a ton of work and we could relax and enjoy ourselves. In addition to the spaghetti we made, Chef Luana made an arugula caprese salad, some fried eggplants and zucchini, a second pasta with a sauce we helped make, and ice cream adffogato for dessert! Needless to say we were stuffed by the end. We also got to take all the leftovers and extra pasta that we didn’t cook home, so that will be several additional meals worth. Chef Luana was very friendly and chatty the whole time. We learned a lot about her background and family. It was a cozy intimate experience that felt very unique and special. We are planning to come back for her gnocchi class when my partner’s parents visit. We highly recommend!

We would highly recommend Chef Luana and her class! Chef Luana prepared a wonderful evening for my brother-in-law’s birthday. She even put up Happy Birthday decorations in her home to make the night special for him. We enjoyed learning about making tomato sauce and spaghetti noodles from scratch. Chef Luana also prepared several appetizers, an additional main to accompany the spaghetti, along with affogato for dessert. The food was delicious - none of us had ever tasted pasta so fresh. Chef Luana created a very warm and welcoming atmosphere, was very accommodating of our learning pace (my brother-in-law has autism), and made it a wonderful evening to remember! We will definitely be booking another class with her in the future.

Thank you to such an amazing class of delicious authentic ravioli (much better looking than what's pictured!!). Luana is from Italy and one of the first women to make and sell pizza in Italy! So many stories she has to share about her experiences. Nothing like restaurant because her stories really make the experience. Also, she's had a restaurant for decades before moving to America. We had such a lovely time in her warm and familial atmosphere of a home! It was wonderful getting to know her and her light-hearted soul. She's focused on good and warm energy and very detailed in her techniques. The ravioli was AMAZING. The best Italian I've had thus far, simple and full of rich flavor. She's a wonderful woman and with so much energy! I'm recommending her and her food to my friends. Can't wait to see her again.Soo grateful to have met Luana ❤️

At first the price may seem steep for a simple lesson, especially for a dish as simple as Pasta. (and don't get me wrong! Pasta can be a very simple dish). But I wanted to take my girlfriend to Chef Luana's course just for the experience at first. It was only after that I realized that making simple store-bought pasta at home (boxed pasta, tomato sauce, etc) is entirely different than having the chance to learn an AUTHENTIC recipe, passed down through a real family, cooked for generations by real people. It was hands down, the best pasta I've ever had. And it was just 4 ingredients. Definitely worth it, and now i'll be able to make this food for the rest of my life!

Great class. My bf wanted to learn how to make pasta from scratch so we took a pasta class with chef Luana. It was us and one other couple. We were grouped in pairs of two and we both got to make our own dough. Then each individual took turns running it through the machine. We made two different kinds: Spaghetti and fettuccini. It was easily the best pasta we had ever had. We took home the leftover uncooked pasta (there was quite a lot!), which made for an easy lunch/dinner the next day. :)

What a wonderful experience! We attended the pizza making class with Chef Luana and, seriously, we made the best pizza we have ever eaten! Chef Luana has over 30 years of experience making pizza (most of that time at a popular pizzeria + ristorante in Italy) and you will notice that. The process of making good pizza dough is complex and Chef Luana walks you elegantly through ever step of the way. And, at the end of the class, she also had two nice surprises for us: one special dough with the shape of a ravioli (sorry chef, I forgot the name) and a delicious tiramisu. All in all, 5/5 stars! Thank you Chef Luana!

Chef Luana introduced us to the wonderful world of Italy. She was very good at giving tips and instruction on secrets to Italian cooking. The mushroom risotto is underrated and a great dish to learn! We meticulously went through all the steps to cook it al dente and I loved her story behind her opening of her restaurant in Italy. She is a very knowledgable chef that I can see myself continuing to learn from!

Chef Luana shares her traditional Italian pizza secrets. I booked her pizza class for my nephew’s 13th birthday and boy did she go above and beyond for us. She taught us everything we needed to know and we were able to sit and enjoy our very own delicious pizza at the end. She even baked a cake for my nephew and had a gift for him. She made the class a fun, covid safe and educational class. My nephew absolutely had so much fun and hearing him giggle throughout the class gave me so much joy. I can’t wait to take her pasta making class. She has inspired and has awaken the inner chef in me. Thank you so much Chef for everything.

This was such a fun experience! We made the best pizza dough from scratch and learned a lot about the art of pizza making from Chef Luana, who has a ton of knowledge and a great sense of humor. You can’t find authentic Italian pizza like this anywhere in L.A. and we can’t wait to recreate Luana’s pizza at home. Highly recommend this class!

We had such a great experience with Chef Luana and by far exceeded all of our expectations. The process of making the pasta was simple and fun and the final product was the best pasta we've ever had. What makes her class so unique is that not only do you learn to make the pasta, but you learn so much about the culture as she had her own restaurant in Italy. She shared personal stories and made us feel completely at home. Chef Luana provided complimentary appetizers (the best bruschetta we've ever had) and homemade tiramisu. This classes was definitely worth it and you make enough pasta to bring back home and make another meal on your own.

We had an amazing time with Chef Luana. She teaches everything clearly and the pasta we made was incredibly delicious. We made extra servings, so she wrapped it for us to take home, complete with instructions on how to prepare it if we won’t have it immediately. Chef Luana made the class very fun. Looking forward to booking another class with her soon. Highly recommended!

I wanted to find an engaging and interactive activity for date night, and I am so glad I came across Chef Luana. My date, who is also Italian, really enjoyed the authentic Italian food experience. The pasta making process was very fun, and Chef Luana was very informative and helpful every step of the way. She was also very friendly and made us feel comfortable in her home. She served us a light appetizer and also included her famous homemade Tiramisu for dessert. Once the food was ready, we were seated at a beautifully decorated table, almost as beautiful as my date, with an awesome view of the city. For dinner we prepared spaghetti and spinach mushroom tagliatelle and it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going back to try Chef Luana's authentic Italian homemade pizza. Anyway, if there's one thing I can take away from this experience, it's that I love all things Italian. Please note - Chef Luana followed all CDC protocols with face masks and gloves and her home is very clean.

Highly recommend taking this pasta class from Chef Luana! It was such a fun and comfortable learning experience :) Chef Luana is so kind and hospitable and shares her knowledge graciously about making pasta! In this class it’s amazing that you get to try two different types of pasta. I highly suggest trying the mushroom and sausage pasta with the green pasta. It’s the best pasta I’ve ever had! It’s so joyful and satisfying being able to make your own pasta and sauce from scratch - to making the dough, kneading it, rolling/cutting it, and even cutting everything to make the sauces! You’ll love it so much! Appetizers and even a coffee and sample of some tiramisu dessert was included. You can’t beat this pasta experience with Chef Luana! She’s so experienced and it was the most authentic Italian meal I’ve ever had. LOVED IT! TAKE THIS CLASS :)

Wow! What an experience! We loved Chef Luana! She is a real, italian chef who owned an amazing restaurant in Italy. She opened up her home to us and made us feel welcomed. You can feel her passion for cooking - she uses the highest quality ingredients (some imported from Italy) and pours love into each dish. We learned so much (she called it "Luana's tricks") that we'll use forever. Each dish was delicious- it was the best risotto we've ever had, and she even made a cake from scratch for my sister's bday! It was incredible. We loved our experience.

From the second the door opens, you feel like you’ve arrived at a family meet. Chef Luana made us feel welcomed and immediately comfortable during these times of Covid restrictions. My date and I are both in healthcare therefore Social distances and cleanliness was A priority. This was highly visible and applied by chef Luana. Go see her, she’s got it down for sure. Complimentary apps and bread was supplied much to our surprise. DELICIOUS stuffed olives!! We had a dietary restriction and chef even provided an option for that!! Her interactive teaching methods made our date extremely rewarding. We worked individually and as a team testing that ability in our early relationship. The pasta...OMG the pasta. Finger licking good!!! Chef Luana and her husband really bring a taste of authenticity with their stories managing a restaurant in their Italian coast hometown. I now have a new destination for travel. Overall, i would highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking a fun culinary evening. There’s even a surprise cappuccino in the end. Yummy yummy yummy.

Chef Luana is hands down (pun intended) one of the most hospitable people we’ve got to meet. She made us feel very welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived until we left. The second she opened her door, she greeted us warmly and invited us in. She had us hang around her living room and added that she had made us some appetizers to try. We were able to taste some of her best samples that was passed through her family recipes from the Tuscany village, Castelvecchio Pascoli. One of our favorites were her deep fried breaded olives that she prepared for us in advance. After chatting with her about her hometown and getting settled in, she got us into our CozyMeal aprons to start the class! We were fortunate enough to have her teach us how to make amazing pasta dishes. We started off with learning the ingredients for the beef ragu which incorporated us prepping carrots and celery alongside her showing us how to season the sauces. We used spaghetti noodles to stir those all in together. The second pasta we were happy to learn was the spinach tagliatelle with pan fried sausage and mushrooms! It was an interesting twist to most Italian pastas we tried and the spinach noodles had a chewy texture that was hard to pass up. The cooking class spanned up to 4 hours and we were happy to learn how to properly make handmade pasta from just flour and eggs. She provided all of the equipment and food, all we had to bring was our curiosity to learn and empty bellies. I encourage anyone who wants to have an authentic experience with Italian cooking to try learning with Chef Luana! She was so warm, friendly, and led the class with confidence so those who are not too comfortable with the kitchen yet is encouraged to try starting it off with her. We experienced her passion for cooking which made this class memorable. Highly recommend taking one of her classes, not only did we learn how to make delicious handmade pasta but our time with Chef Luana is something we will not forget.

My husband and I had an amazing time learning from Chef Luana! She is such a delightful person who immediately made us feel right at home. She had made us appetizers to enjoy when we arrived which were delicious, and then we got to work on the pasta making process. Chef Luana was a wonderful teacher, she explained everything very clearly and I am confident that we will be able to replicate the recipe on our own at home! She not only taught us how to make pasta, but also showed us how to make 2 delicious sauces to go along with it. She was very thoughtful in asking about dietary restrictions, I don’t eat red meat but my husband loves it so we made one fresh, bright and delicious tomato sauce and then a rich and flavorful mushroom sausage sauce. We were so excited and proud to eat the pasta that we made from scratch and let me tell you, it was DELICIOUS! After our pasta, Chef Luana served us dessert of delightful Italian cake and cappuccino. We also loved that we got to take home the pasta that we didn’t finish. Chef Luana showed us a lovely night of Italian hospitality, and we had so much fun learning from this incredibly knowledgeable and skilled chef. We will be back for another class with her in the future! I highly recommend you do the same!

I love to cook and have wanted to learn to make pasta for quite a while. My husband and I took Chef Luana's "Fundamentals of Handmade Pasta" class yesterday and it was an amazing experience! Chef Luana was so warm and welcoming when we arrived and she prepared appetizers while she shared stories about her background and her restaurant in Italy. During the class, we learned to make two types of pasta and two sauces and the instruction was spot on - I learned so much and feel absolutely confident that I could recreate these dishes in my kitchen. The green pasta with sausage and mushroom sauce was one of the most flavorful things that I've ever eaten. I know that we'll be returning for other classes in the future and I would highly recommend taking a class with Chef Luana to anyone who loves to cook!

My fiance and I were fortunate enough to take a Pasta Making class from Chef Luana a day after Christmas and it was SO much fun and really delicious. I learned so many new things about making pasta and the sauces to accompany. Chef Luana was very accommodating in making sure to omit any ingredients we didn't like and worked around that. As we ate, she cooked another meal for her Italian guests in town and with everyone speaking Italian we felt immersed in her beautiful culture. We even got homemade bread and ravioli for an appetizer and a yummy dessert at the end. We felt like we were in her house in Italy -right here in LA!

Our experience with Chef Luana was amazing. My daughters were visiting from out of town so I thought this would be a good experience for us to bond over. We all love to cook. The night at Chef Luana's place was the highlight of their visit. We learned a great deal about making Risotto and the food was beyond fabulous. If you are familiar with making Risotto you know that it's a slow process. We were in the midst of adding broth to the Risotto when an earthquake struck. Everyone in the class ran down 9 flights of stairs with the exception of the Chef who stayed back and kept a watchful eye on the pot. Needless to say, both Risottos turned out perfectly. I highly recommend this class!!!

Chef Luana was a wonderful host for our party of 4. Our Cozymeal time was quite an eventful experience. Not only did we learn the tradition of risotto, but we learned earthquake evacuation and safety strategy during the 7.1 Los Angeles earthquake! Chef Luana and her husband were prompt responders and supportive of us. When I booked the class, I told her this was for my sisters 30th birthday celebration. At the end of the class she had a cake; which she said she typically makes for classes, and with her own dough! But for us, she had gotten "3-0" candles and joined in our celebration by going a step above her typical closing routine. I thought this was a genuine, thoughtful gift from Chef Luana and I know our family appreciated her effort.

This experience was slightly different than I expected but overall, a wonderful learning opportunity! I thought each person would be given ingredients, tools and space to follow along with the chef and create/eat their own dish. Rather, Chef Luana explained her path and experiences with Italian cooking and showed us how to make the risotto dish, which was absolutely delicious! There was a part of the class that was more hands on during the prep, but most of it was observation and listening. I recommend taking a note pad to remember all of the wonderful tips and tricks we learned! Overall, the experience was enjoyable and we learned some great "rule-of-thumb" tips for a variety of cooking (not just risotto).

She had delicious home made appetizers (which are her grandmother’s recipes) waiting for us when we arrived. The food was delicious and we really felt like we were transported to Italy for the night! We were a party of 6 people, a large group for her small apartment/kitchen, but she was very well organized. As it was for my husband 50th birthday, she surprised us with an extra special treat! Thank you again so much Chef Luana for hosting a wonderful dinner and class. We will hopefully be seeing you soon for more experiences like this. The BEST risotto my friends and I have ever had!

Chef Luana is an amazing experience. Would recommend to anyone. She has tons of knowledge of recipes and fun stories about Italy. The pizza you learn to make is very authentic and delicious. I would definitely take more classes when I come back to LA.

Chef Luana was fantastic! We went to Chef Luana (an authentic Italian), for my gf’s bday. My gf is a devout hater of mushrooms, but LOVED the chef’s mushroom tagliatelle and even ate it for the following day’s lunch. The Chef’s attention to detail and all other facets of the dinner preparation were superb and we hope to work with her again soon!! Couldn’t recommend her more highly

Chef Luana helped my family have the most amazing mother's day experience. She greeted us with appetizers and helped us learn how to make the most amazing authentic pasta. We definitely will be coming back. Absolutely delicious!

Wow, this was more than a class. First time I’ve used cozymeal. My daughter, girlfriend and I enjoy Italian food and we picked the perfect Chef, Luana. She went beyond what I was expecting. Chef Luana made the evening into a great experience for everyone. Chef Luana had appetizers waiting for us when we arrived. One of them was Piconi. They were so good. My daughter enjoys baking and Chef Luana took the time to explain the steps and why the steps were necessary. Chef Luana has been making pizza for over 40 years in Italy and she arrived with her husband just a few years ago. So, she still has that authentic way of making pizza. After multiple pizzas, Chef Launa treated us to a wonderful dessert, crostata (with homemade orange jam on top) with a scoop of ice cream on it. To die for! Highly recommend. Thanks, Chef Luana.

Chef Luana was so warm and gracious. She was able to set up the meal to accommodate a vegetarian and lactose intolerant client (which is hard for Italian meal). We had everything from appetizer to dessert in a very relaxed environment. The view of the city was wonderful as was the meal. Her teaching style is very hands on and gives you confidence that you can learn. The food was excellent and was a great Mother's Day experience. I would recommend this for a class or private meal which she also offers. Looking forward to returning to learn how to cook a few more challenging dishes. Also her lemon tart was fantastic.

I booked Chef Luana’s pasta making class for my boyfriend’s and I anniversary. We were looking for a unique and fun experience and Chef Luana did not disappoint! She greeted us with open arms, and delicious antipasti which are her grandmother’s recipes. The two different pastas we made from scratch were some of the best we had and, to top it off, she presented us with homemade tiramisu and cappuccino. It was a lovely (and delicious!) experience. We will definitely be booking another class with Chef Luana soon!

We recently visited Chef Luana who hosted us for a pasta making class, and her food and expertise was nothing short of excellent!

So it was a few weeks before valentines and my girlfriend and I wanted to have a unique experience, so we decided to try a cooking class and learn to make pasta. Hands down, one of the most intimate and fun experiences I’ve ever had. Chef Luana was very personable and a warm and inviting and professional. We were given very precise instructions on how to get to the class site (her home) and was warmly greeted by her at the door. Once our entire party arrived, we were sat and given some delicious traditional Italian appetizers. It was my first time to have stuffed olives and they were delicious, and that’s coming from a guy that dislikes olives. We then proceeded to learn about a couple of sauces that are used in today’s meals and proceeded to begin the pasta making. Chef Luana was attentive and provided us great step by step instructions to start making the dough. One of the most exciting parts was the rolling and cutting of pasta. After cooking the pasta and combing all of our hard work we all sat down to enjoy the fruits of our fun labor for the day. With all the information and instructions from Chef Luana, everyone in our group feels a lot more confident in making our own pasta. We so happy with the class we are planning to take another course with Chef in the near future.

We really enjoyed Chef Luana's pasta making class, it was like stepping into a little piece of Italy in LA. We had fun making both green and yellow pasta and we are looking forward to trying to make the ragu sauce again at home. I liked that told us in detail about the ingredients and what stores in our neighborhood had the best ones. It was also a pleasure to meet her husband Giancarlo and practice my rusty Italian with them! Grazie!

My husband and I loved Chef Luana's pasta class! She was welcoming from the second we arrived and prepared many delicious appetizers for us before we learned how to make pasta. She was patient, kind, funny and a wonderful chef. We loved the pastas we made and had so much leftover to take home too. She also surprised us with a little dessert at the end of the evening. It was a great date night and we can't wait to go back for her pizza class!

I knew I made the right choice in Chef Luana the second we walked through the door! I wanted to surprise my Italian boyfriend with an authentic Italian cooking class, and Luana did not disappoint. We were greeted with appetizers and a wine opener for the bottle we brought, and she had everything timed perfectly so the class and lesson flowed seamlessly. We were a solo couple, but she can entertain up to 3 couples, or groups with enough warning! The ingredients were incredibly fresh, she explained everything with ease, we had a blast with the pasta machine, and we left with full stomachs and happy hearts. We can't wait to return for another recipe lesson, or else hire her for a special occasion!

My boyfriend and I had such a fun and educational experience with Chef Luana! From the start she was welcoming and kind. We started the day with delicious appetizers that she had prepared for us in advance. This gave us a chance to hear her story and all about her extensive experience and love for Italian food. This was followed by a breakdown of the tasks we would be completing and then we started to get our hands dirty. After the raviolis were complete, we shared a lovely meal! The ravioli was delicious. My boyfriend is still dreaming about her marinara sauce. We can’t recommend her class enough. We both hope to take another one of her classes in the near future!

We are recommending Chef Luana to friends and we can't wait to be a guest again.

What a wonderful evening! Great food and great company. My daughter and I were looking for a different experience over her holiday break from school, and this could not have been better. In honesty, I was slightly hesitant when I realized we'd be coming into Chef Luana's home to not only learn the skills to make fresh pasta, but to share dinner with the other guest who we did not know. It's a bit out of my comfort zone...but, Chef Luana instantly made us feel at home, in her home. We were (3) couples, with neither knowing each other, and through Chef sharing her history of her restaurant in Italy as well as her life overall, we soon were all sharing our histories with each other. It was a full evening of learning, cooking, with wonderful conversation, and amazing food. I can't recommend Chef Luana's class enough. She's so knowledgable, but she's just a joy to be around. Her full focus is her students and guests. I'll be back for her other classes. Thankyou Chef!

Luana was wonderful! If you are looking for an authentic Italian cooking experience this is it. Upon arrival, there were freshly baked Italian goods to snack on...and within minutes we were making pasta from scratch. Luana provided great guidance and is focused on making this a fun evening. After cooking we had a delicious birthday dinner in her cozy dining area overlooking the city. She even surprised us with a freshly baked birthday cake :)

Luana was an amazing chef, teacher, and host. This is an authentic Italian experience that is simultaneously educational, inspiring, and fun. The setting is perfect and makes you feel as if you are in Ascoli Piceno with Italian family for a moment, forgeting that you’re in LA. Luana goes above and beyond the proverbial call of duty and provides delicious homemade appetizers - then, the sleeves get rolled up and Luana walks you through how to handmake pasta. She takes the time to not only explain what to do, but why you’re doing it...she also taught us a few Italian words here and there. As a bonus, we were lucky enough to learn how to make two types of pasta. After you make the pasta, you sit down and enjoy the incredible meal. As far as taste, this is the real deal - Luana uses authentic, fresh, and even imported ingredients for her dishes. The only downside here is that you’ll probably never be able to go back to out-of-the-box pasta again. After we ate (both) of our pastas, Luana surprised us with a little dessert and cappuccino - this was the perfect cap to a perfect evening. Overall, would 10/10 recommend for a date night, group activity, educational experience, or whatever the occasion may be. Thank you Luana and can’t wait to come back for more.

I booked this class for my boyfriend's birthday celebration. We had such a great time making authentic pasta! We made everything from scratch and Chef Luana is the real deal from Italy. She and her husband showed us such warm hospitality and even created a romantic dining ambiance with fairy lights overlooking downtown LA from their residence. Making dinner takes time and preparation so I appreciated that Chef Luana provided us with appetizers in which she made beforehand and we got to sit down and eat those before we started preparing the pasta. You will not regret booking her!

Chef Luana is absolutely amazing! I couldn't ask for a better chef, a better teacher and better experience, it was hands down the best experience I have had since I moved to LA. She is so kind and genuine and is a master chef! I highly recommend Chef Luana and any class she offers! She spent 30+ years as a chef of her own restaurant in Italy, so she REALLY knows how to cook! She goes above and beyond what is expected of the cozymeal experience, to make sure each class is catered exactly to the guests needs. I am allergic to dairy, and she was so kind and conscious the whole time, she changed my recipe slightly from everyone else, so that I could participate AND eat the food at the end! PLUS she made extra appetizers to start, she surprised us with a home made pie at the end with her delicious marmalade made from scratch.

I really didn't know what to expect as this was my first time doing a cooking class. My wife always wanted to learn how to make pasta and so I had booked this class as a surprise to my wife for her birthday. Upon arriving, Chef Luana had a nice surprise and greeted us with appetizers so we had something in our stomachs while we cooked. She was very entertaining and she took time teaching us how to make fresh pasta, carefully explaining each step. We enjoyed her stories of Italy and welcomed any questions we had. She served us two different types of pasta with two different sauces, both very delicious! The pasta was so fresh and light, it was amazing. Her home made recipes were exceptional and we were very happy. After our meals we were extremely full and very satisfied. Chef Luana surprised us with tiramisu as a nice special dessert. It was a nice touch and something extra that she didn't need to do but that was very thoughtful of her. Overall, my wife and I really enjoyed learning how to make pasta with Chef Luana. We recommend her to anyone thinking about making fresh pasta. I would definitely book with her again in the near future. Thank you Chef Luana for making our experience wonderful!

My husband and I LOOOOVED learning how to make pasta with Chef Luana. We recently came back from a trip to Italy and have always wanted to learn how to make pasta from scratch. Taking this class with Chef Luana literally felt like we were back in Italy, enjoying nothing but delicious, gourmet Italian food. Chef Luana was so inviting and welcoming, and we learned so much from her about the art of pasta making. We even learned about some of her own culture, as her and her husband are from Italy themselves and own their own ristorante. I can’t rave about this experience enough and think anyone who is wanting to experience a little bit of Italy should go and cook with this amazing chef!!

Thoroughly enjoyed Fundamentals of Pasta Making with Chef Luana! She was so warm and welcoming, it felt like I was learning from family. Chef Luana greeted us with appetizers she had prepared for us. Not something I was expecting, so it was a nice surprise. She demystified an intimidating subject, demonstrating every step of the process and generously shared her ingredient sources. It was fun to create the pasta from scratch and practice her techniques under her watchful eye, and she nudged us in the right direction when we needed it. Of course, the best part of the evening was sitting down to eat our creations. Two types of pasta and two different sauces. Both delicious dishes that I feel confident I can recreate at home. Thank you, Chef!

Booked the class The Rich Tradition of Risotto with Chef Luana in Los Angeles (Central LA)
I recently booked "The Rich Tradition of Risotto" with Chef Luana. The experience was a complete disappointment. The menu and the experience did not match at all. The appetizer was store bought arugula, burrata, and Parmesan. I did not get to choose the risotto. She picked mushroom and there was no truffle. The dessert was made with store bought jam One of which had mold, which she insisted was fine. I was rushed and belittled for the entire 1.5 hours when the class was advertised for 2.5 hours. My class was scheduled for 6:30. I received a text message from chef at 6:08 including all the information to get to her apartment. By the time I was able to read how complicated it was to get there, it was already 6:20 since I was already on the way driving. While I can accept fault with not arriving sooner to find parking, I cannot accept the fact that all the information I needed was provided 22 minutes before the scheduled time. If I had known, I would have headed over earlier. I arrived to her apartment by 6:50. Although I was the only booking for the evening, she already started cooking the mushrooms for the risotto I didn’t get to choose the flavor of. Appetizer was “Fresh Burrata With arugula and shaved Parmigiano Reggiano.” Burrata was out of a store bought container and arugula was from a store bought pre-washed bag. The only good thing was the Parmigiano she said was from Italy. It was a dish I could prepare on my own at home. Once we finished making the salad, we left it on the table for the remainder time we were cooking. Entree was supposed to be “Homemade Italian Risotto” with the choice of “Mushrooms and black truffles” or “Shrimp and zucchini.” I had no choice. By the time I walked through the door, she was already cooking mushrooms. It was regular button mushrooms and dried porcini from Italy. On top of not being able to choose the type of risotto, there was no truffle. Dessert was “Classic Crostatine Mini Italian pies made with homemade preserves.” Nothing was homemade about the preserves besides the thick layer of mold on top. She insisted that the jam was fine despite the clear layer of mold on top. She simply scooped it off and asked me if I still wanted that one or a different one. I politely asked for a different one and she brought out a new jar from her pantry. Aside from the utter disappointment of a menu, the whole “cooking” experience was underwhelming. If I wanted to be belittled as I was taught a recipe, I would go home to my mother. Nothing was prepared beforehand. She hastily opened bags and new packages throughout the night. She was annoyed with every little thing and kept mentioning how she needed to clean. I understand the language barrier, but no instructions were given. There was no demonstration to follow. While rolling the crust for the crostatine, I was lectured because I rolled it too thin. She did not mention a thickness or what I’m rolling it for specifically. While cooking the risotto, she kept repeating how at a certain time we need to do what for the risotto as if we should know already. She did not explain what to look for when cooking, only belittling us for not being mind readers. She also kept taking the spatula out of my hand to do it herself. The repeating theme of the night was grabbing things out of my hand to do it herself. There was no room for error. When there was about 15 minutes left of the 30 minutes risotto recipe, she shooed us away to eat the appetizer that has been sitting on the table. She finished off the risotto and served it to us. The pie she baked it and served it to us. If I wanted to be served my dinner, I would go to a restaurant with better service and experience. We were shooed off by 8:30 as if we didn’t pay $200+ for an intimate 2.5 hour cooking class. For the left over food, she gave us a parchment paper to use to layer in between. It was the same parchment paper we used to roll out the raw dough made with raw egg. I received no compensation for the experience. When CozyMeal asked chef about what I stated, she denied everything and said the preserves were homemade. Apparently she just made the exact same flavor as the store bought jars. Nothing was stated about the lack of truffles and the price point being far from what was advertised. She pushed me to write a review, here’s my review.

I had recently booked a cooking class with Chef Launa, on May 14th, 2023 for 11:30am via Cozymeals. There are no words that describe how DEVASTATED, DISSATISFIED AND DISAPPOINTED I was when I walked out. I booked this class for my mom and I as a Mother’s Day present. Paying a total of $300 ($125/class + taxes and fees) for the tickets I thought it’s going to be a wonderful experience. I thought VERY WRONG. The pictures advertised look NOTHING like the kitchen we worked at. We went to a very small and dirty apartment with worn-out supplies. She barely allowed us to use supplies. I cut 1/2 of an old, soggy onion that had gone bad and she took the rest and put it in her freezer for later use….I’m paying $300 for this… Once we made the pasta, she told us to sit down at the table to “take pictures” until she brings us appetizers. She brought a plate of bread with soggy tomatoes AND MOLDED ARTICHOKE PASTE ON IT! I WAS EATING THIS….i was so scared that I told my mom NOT to eat the artichoke without admitting what I had just seen. When she brings out the pasta, half of it is cold, cut into small pieces and smushed. IT WAS NOT THE PASTA WE HAD JUST MADE. (I posted the pictures on yelp)) Not to mention it was 1/2of the serving…. What happened to the rest? I was shocked and asked to go watch how she makes the next batch. Once I entered the kitchen, the were NO signs that the pasta had been drained, no strainer. We were eating old pasta that she had brought out of her fridge and warmed up on the stove in a different pan that we were originally cooking in. I SAW the aluminum that was covering the pasta in the fridge)). I also saw her tasting it by putting it in her mouth with the spoon she was cooking with…. The next batch looked nothing like the first, since we were in the kitchen watching everything. I also saw the molded artichoke paste in her trash can. THIS WAS SO EMBARRASSING! I felt horrible not only for the experience but the fact that this was happening on Mother’s Day!! Launa IS A SCAM, SAVE YOUR MONEY! ALL THESE REVIEWS ARE MADE UP!! I know for a fact because I was there on May 14th and there was no one named “Rebecca” (who has attended the class on May 14 and left a 5 star review) to be seen.

Although this was a nice experience, I don’t think my partner and I would do it again. The food was incredible and chef Luana did a great job authentically teaching us how to cook pasta from scratch, but there were a few misses. I’m a big proponent of being on time. I know LA on time standards varies and I’m flexible, but we arrived and waited 40 minutes to start. All the while Chef Luana greeted us by continuing to speak ill of a past guest that left her a negative review from the previous day. Kind of a vibe kill. The other couple arrived and we began and I almost felt like I had to bring up the vibe of the group. A 2 1/2 hour experience turned into 3 1/2 hours. We had plans for the Super Bowl after, so we ended up not even being able to stay for the end of the meal because it was running so behind. The pasta was plentiful, but the sauce for both pastas was on the skimpy end. For the price of the experience it felt a little underwhelming. All my best to the chef and I hope this honest review can be taken constructively and help her provide better for future guest.

This class was not what we expected. Upon exiting the elevators, there was huge blood stains on the walls. Chef Luana was welcoming upon entering, but we found her instruction style to be very harsh and impatient. While making pasta, instead of showing us what to do, she would grab the cooking utensils out of our hands and do it for us, which is not helpful for learning. The types of pasta we were making were not exactly what was advertised. Also, we learned we would not actually be eating the pasta we made, but instead everyones food would be combined together before serving. This was a big turn off for us! We wanted to eat the food we prepared, not everyone elses. She also wanted to split the class into two different groups, men and women, at one point. I attended this class to learn to cook pasta with my wife, not work with strangers. We ended up leaving halfway through the class, so i cannot comment on how the food turned out.

I wanted to thank Luana for the wonderful class I took on making risotto. I finally learned the secrets on how to make the perfect dish. Thank you Chef Luana!

My husband and I, along with our two children, love Chef Luana’s cooking! Her raviolis are fresh and light, with a tomato sauce that is delicate and refined in flavor. I’ve had the good fortune to eat many of Chef Luana’s specialties, including gnocchi, spaghetti and meatballs, pizza, focaccia bread, quiche and more. Chef Luana uses the freshest and most flavorful ingredients to make traditional Italian dishes come to life in a new way!
Phyllis
Luana is a true expert chef. Being a native Italian, she specializes in regional cooking from her areas of Marche and Abruzzo. I have taken a number of her classes and I give her 5 stars. Her bread, pizza, risotto and pasta are unbelievable. She is an experienced professional chef using authentic Italian family recipes. It doesn't get any better than that.
Steve
Delicious. Authentic. Homestyle Italian food. Can you ask for anything more?
Amy
I had chitarra and panzerotti tonight from Chef Luana and they were absolutely marvelous! She loves cooking and this comes across in her food - always the proper balance between fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. I look forward to more of her meals. I can easily give her five stars.
