I had the absolute best time cooking pasta with my two gal pals and Chef Luana! She went above and beyond, making the experience feel just like cooking with an Italian family—though I’m not Italian, it was exactly how I imagine it would be!

Luana was very good at teaching as well as gave us free cake and tea at the end. Book with her!

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

My experience with Chef Luana was amazing! I wasn't sure what to expect as this was my first time ever doing a cooking class through Cozymeal. Chef Luana's hospitality was incredible she made me feel very comfortable and even through mistakes made while learning how to make pasta she patiently explained how to fix my mistakes. The bruchetta she made us was PHENOMENAL!!!! I would definitely book another class with Chef Luana the experience she gave me and my girlfriend on our anniversary was top notch.

Wonderful time and the food we made was delicious, thanks Chef Luana.

Chef Luana was amazing, her food is delicious and had the best attitude. Will definitely be coming back. The experience was amazing!

My wife and I came to her for a date night. We had no idea what to expect. This is by far the most authentic Italian meal you will ever have. Not only was the Chef welcoming, but she truly cared to teach us how to make the authentic dishes. Her recipes are past down from her grandma to her when she was a little girl growing up in Italy. What a fun experience.

We recently attended Chef Luana’s pasta-making class through CozyMeal, and it was absolutely phenomenal! Chef Luana is truly a pasta genius—her passion for Italian cuisine shines through every step of the process. She explained techniques with such clarity and patience that even beginners could follow along effortlessly. The hands-on experience of crafting fresh pasta from scratch was both fun and incredibly rewarding. Plus, her tips for perfect sauces were game-changers! The final dishes we created were not just delicious but beyond restaurant-quality. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to elevate their cooking skills or simply enjoy a fantastic culinary experience. Thank you, Chef Luana! Protect your pasta! Secure your spaghetti!

Delicious pasta and fun to make with Chef Luana!

Fantastic experience, delicious pasta, and friendly host.

Chef Luana is the sweetest, we loved learning from her and chatting about her history and family. Her knowledge and love for her craft is so special. We learned how to make fettuccine and spaghetti, which came out delicious! Can’t wait for the next class!

My girlfriend and I attended Chef Luana's pasta making class and couldn't recommend it highly enough! Chef Luana went above and beyond to make us feel at home, showing us step-by-step how to make pasta from scratch, sharing her family recipes, and treating us to homemade antipasto, espresso, dessert, and pastries (in addition to the two pasta dishes we helped prepare). Chef Luana is endlessly entertaining and overflowing with energy; her food is delicious, authentic, and made with fresh ingredients sourced from Italy; and her home is charming, cozy, and clean. A 10/10 master class in Italian cuisine and hospitality presented in an intimate setting that makes you feel like you're spending an afternoon with your nonna.

So much fun! And we learned a lot. 10/10 and we would come back for another class. Thanks Chef!

Best pasta in LA! Great experience, great food, very authentic - feels like cooking with your grandma! Chef Luana is very knowledgeable on all things Italian and answered every question. We had a fantastic evening!

We had a fantastic time with Chef Luana and enjoyed the experience very much.

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.

My partner and I had a fantastic experience in Chef Luana's pastamaking class! The kitchen was spotless, she was so patient in explaining the techniques every step of the way, and the food came out delicious. Would very much look forward to doing more classes with her in the future!

We had an amazing time! Highly recommended. She is very informative, funny and obviously blessed with a special cooking talent!

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!!

Amazing course! Chef is wonderful! She takes her time to explain everything and makes making pasta seem incredibly easy. Made some of the best pasta I have ever had. Would highly recommend taking this course if you love Pasta and having a good time!

We had an amazing experience with Chef Luana! I wish we could give more stars. We loved learning how to make pasta from scratch. We even had lots of laughs throughout the process. Real ingredients from Italy and being taught by the best from Italy! Luana went above and beyond to make it a great experience and we’ll definitely be back for another class! Thank you!

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

Chef Luana is a great host and we had a really fun time learning how to make some of the best pasta we’ve ever eaten!

Amazing! My wife and me took this class while we were on vacation for our ten year anniversary. It was our first cooking class together and it was amazing. Luna was so helpful and so patient with us and also was very knowledgeable on Italian cooking. It was one of the funnest experiences I’ve had. I recommend this class to anyone who wants a laid back fun experience. The food was absolutely amazing and it was so intimate. It was definitely better than any Italian restaurant I’ve had, it was so authentic.

I booked this class for my boyfriend's birthday last weekend & we had the best time with Chef Luana! We still can't stop talking about the pasta we made, it was the best either of us have ever had. Definitely recommend bringing a bottle of wine if you'd like to enjoy it with your meal.

Luana was the most welcoming. Her kitchen is yours. She made us feel apart of the culinary experience. We prepared two pastas, tomato spaghetti was out of this world. Coming back just for the pasta

This is by far the best cooking experience me and my boyfriend have ever had . This is our second class with Chef Luana and is just as special as the first . We will definitely be back to continue to learn the art of pasta making . She is lovely , has much experience and is a great teacher ! The food is amazing , out of this world .

Chef Luana was absolutely wonderful. My wife and I had a great time making pasta and when it came time to eating it, it was DELICIOUS!!! Chef Luana did not disappoint.

We would definitely recommend Chef Luana and we will be back again soon.

Chef Luana provided a wonderful experience and delicious food. My wife and I took the Fundamentals of Pasta class and thoroughly enjoyed the Chef Luana's presentation, guidance, and personality.

It was great, clean and homey

Had so much fun learning how to make pasta from scratch with Chef Luana! She taught us the proper technique for rolling out fettuccine and spaghetti. The pasta was so silky smooth and the sauce she served it with was delicious. Thank you for having us in your home even in the middle of a hurricane and earthquake!

We had a great time and the pasta was wonderful!

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!

Chef Luana was the best host and teacher. We will definitely be bringing our family back to gnocchi. She made us feel like a family and learning to make this pasta was so much fun. Thank you Chef we can't wait to see you again. Book this class you won't regret it!

Chef Luana’s class is amazing—a true Italian experience! I took the pasta making class and spent the evening laughing, learning, and having fun. It is the perfect activity to do with friends or a partner, and I could not recommend Chef Luana enough. She is delightful and kind, and you will definitely get the most out of her class. Thank you, chef, for a night to remember.

This was really fun. Chef had last-minute addition of 2 more people, but only 4 of us total. The food was incredible and it was really unique to get a class in her own home.

We came to celebrate my husbands birthday and this was so much fun!!! Chef Luana made it so much fun and we were laughing the entire time! The pasta was the BEST we have ever tasted…. I don’t think we can ever go back to eating regular pasta!!

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 was a great class! Chef Luana is personable, funny, has great stories, and is a great teacher. This felt more like cooking with friends than a class, and it was wonderful. My wife and I enjoyed this so much that we’re going to do Chef Luana’s other classes!

Luana is an amazing chef and an incredible person! She welcomed us into her home and made us feel like family, all while helping us learn how to prepare some delicious, authentic Italian pasta.

My boyfriend and I signed up for a handmade pasta class with Chef Luana for date night. We absolutely loved it! Chef Luana is warm, inviting, and very patient. The food was also incredible! We will be returning for more classes in the future.

Such a fun experience! It was great to learn how to make the pasta from scratch. I already wanted a kitchen aid but now I really want one along with the pasta attachments. I highly recommend this. It was a great date night outing.

This is by far one of the most wonderful dining experiences that my husband and I have ever had.We felt like we were having a wonderful and intimate meal with our family and friends. The pasta making portion of the evening was so much fun and informative. It truly felt like you were being passed down a family tradition. Chef Luana was very patient with us as she taught us the fine art of pasta making. The sumptuous meal that followed our pasta making was fantastic. This is truly an experience that we will not soon forget. The meal we shared with the other guests was awesome. Everyone was so engaging and fun to be around. We cannot recommend this special experience enough. 10/10

Best class ever! Chef Luana is the sweetest, welcoming, knowledgeable chef that I have experienced! She takes time to assist you in your cooking skills while also making you feel comfortable! I will definitely be taking her other classes and look forward to experiencing her food in the future!

We did the pasta lesson, which ended up being so delicious! Chef Luana is very knowledgeable and so kind. We are definitely coming back!

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.

My girlfriend and I had a great time at Luana’s cooking class. Would highly recommend!

Chef Luana was very nice throughout the whole experience. I was unable to attend to the class however she allowed me to reschedule and let me parents attend as a Mother’s Day gift. Thank you

We had the most amazing time with Chef Luana. Instantly she made us feel at home and like family. My fiancée and I took my mom for a Mother’s Day gift we haven’t stopped talking about when we are booking our next class with her and other friends we want to bring to enjoy the experience. Thanks for such a wonderful experience!!

Highly recommend! I came with my mom and brother for Mother’s Day and everyone loved it. She helped us out every step of the way. She was kind enough to make a sauce for my mom who’s vegetarian. She makes the experience so much fun and has so much passion for what she does.

Luana is amazing! My boyfriend and I did the pasta making class and had so much fun! It ended up just being the two of us taking the class and we learned so much! Luana is knowledgeable and the food was delicious!! She even gave us the extra pasta to take home!

Not only did we learn how to make the pasta, we were able to enjoy the pasta with her homemade sauce and homemade bread and roasted peppers. Everything was truly delightful and I would highly highly highly recommend taking her class! You will be in Italy for the evening! I am definitely going back!!

Amazing food, amazing skills learned and a wonderful person to spend time with! She was so wonderful and really brought the whole experience together. Would recommend 100% for a wonderful evening of learning, conversation, and fun! My dad loved it as a Christmas present, but her classes are great regardless of if there’s an occasion or just for a relaxing evening.

Chef Luana has a lovely home & is a very skilled chef! The pasta itself was exceptional, and we left feeling capable of making it on our own at home

Chef Luana makes you feel like you are part of her beautiful Italian family from the moment you step into her class. My husband and I not only learned how to make pasta from someone who has been making pasta since she was a child, but we were also encouraged and given tips and feedback throughout the class. She even baked a little treat and made us coffee once we finished eating our delicious pasta. Go see her if you want to learn from the best!

We had a fabulous time. Chef Luana took her time and showed us step by step how to make the pasta dough; process the dough through the machine; and to cook the pasta. I didn't realize that it was such a delicate process but a rewarding process. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We are looking forward to another cooking class with Chef Luana.

Chef Luana is very personable, knowledgeable, and loving. She taught me and my girlfriend how to make delicious homemade spaghetti and linguini. I would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing experience with Chef Luana! It was a great time learning about to make handmade pasta for the first time. We were taught step by step how to make the pasta and how to work the equipment. She showed us the tips and tricks on how to make the perfect pasta. She is very friendly and charismatic and made us feel at home from beginning until the end. The food was very delicious, some of the best Italian food I've ever tasted. If you would like to learn how to make authentic Italian pasta, I highly recommend the experience, it's worth every penny! We had the most amazing time, thank you Chef Luana!

If I could give 10 stars I would. Luana was an incredible chef, and amazing host. She was great at teaching us how to make pasta, and was also incredibly sweet, patient and fun. I cannot stress how good the food was. Will definitely try to do another one of her classes. Her classes are a must

Amazing experience! Completely hands on and great flavors. I’ll be back soon ?

An AMAZING chef! LOVED THE EXPERIENCE!

Chef Luana took us in like family from the first foot in the door. We made fettuccine pasta and it was just so much fun. And after learning from her it was very tasty and just the right consistency. Highly recommend!

First time making pasta from scratch. It was a memorable experience thanks to Chef Luana. I took my daughter for this experience for her 14th birthday weekend. We both enjoyed the class so much. Chef Luana is both professional and personable. I highly recommend this event for anyone looking for something unique, fun and exciting to do.

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.

Chef Luana is charismatic and knowledgeable on the art of making pasta! She is very hands on and encouraging and her tomato sauce is incredibly fresh and delicious. I took this class with my mom and she had a blast and we both learned so much!

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!

Amazing experience. Chef Luana is super friendly and knowledgeable. She makes the class easy and enjoyable and of course the food was delicious. Very fun activity to do!

WOW!! That sums up our experience. We have always wanted to go to Italy to have a pasta cooking class and we finally got to pursue our dream and do it just 20 minutes away! Such an amazing kind teacher and amazing food. Highly recommend! We are coming back with our friends!

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.

Chef Luana è un’esperta di pasta! Abbiamo fatto due tipi di pasta e abbiamo mangiato tutto! Il cibo era eccellente e la lezione era divertente :) torniamo presto! Chef Luana is a pasta expert! We made two types of pasta and ate everything! The food was excellent and the lesson was fun :) we will return soon!

Chef Luana's class was seriously unbelievably good. It exceeded expectations by FAR. He authenticity was amazing and instantly gave an effortless family environment. Nothing was forced and the other guests cooking were amazing. I cannot recommend her class enough, the food was amazing and she added amazing touches for two of our birthday guests Unforgettable experience and looking forward to trying her pizza making course

Chef Luana was the BEST! My girlfriend and I went for our anniversary and it exceeded our expectations by a long shot. 10 STARS. She opened up her home to us, which right away gave a very authentic feel. Making the pasta was a blast and it was SO good! Chef Luana was so personable and so fun. I very highly reccomend taking classes with her. It was Italy in LA!

Chef Lu was a fantastic cook and excellent teacher! We learned a lot about Italy and how the best ingredients make the best pasta. This was a great date night and we can't wait to book another class with Luana.

Luana was an incredible teacher we had so much fun learning how to make pasta and definitely want to come back or use chef luana to cater my dinners!

Chef Luana was a gracious host that taught us how to make lovely pasta. Had a great time with my girlfriend and I recommend this to anyone looking to have a good time!

Best cooking class I’ve ever taken. Will definitely be taking more classes with Chef Luna

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.

My recent experience with Chef Luana was nothing short of amazing! From her Italian hospitality to her hands-on instruction to create such a delicious meal, she was a 10-star superstar(5 stars from me and my guest). I will definitely be using her services again in the future.

Chef Luna was Amazing! She opened her home to us and made everyone feel comfortable. Great instruction & fantastic Chef!

Chef Luana hosted my fiancée and I for a pasta making class that we loved. Learned a good pasta recipe for later!

A fun class for both adult and teenagers. We made Pasta from scratch and during class, Chef Luana gave us options on the sauces we would like. She also served small bites and dessert to complete the meal. Thank you for such a fun and delicious experience!

Chef Luana is so interesting and kind. She was such a gracious host and her food was divine. I really enjoyed this experience and would recommend it to a friend.

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.

Our experience with Luana was great! She served us bruschetta, salad, 2 pasta dishes, dessert and coffee so we did not leave hungry! She walked us through the step by step, hands on process of creating the pasta and sent us home with leftovers. She was clean, professional and kind and shared her stories of being a restaurateur in Italy with us which made the experience so authentic and personal. We would definitely recommend.

Chef Luana was fantastic — a thoughtful hostess with heavenly food. From the appetizers to dessert, each bite was balanced and satisfying. I look forward to taking another class with her and hearing more stories about her life in Italy.

Super fun experience! Chef Luana fed us appetizers, pasta, and dessert. We loved hearing her talk about Italy and she was so kind and funny while teaching us about pasta. Thank you!

Chef Launa was great! This was some real authentic Italian pasta created from scratch and we really enjoyed the experience and learning the process. We made spaghetti and fettuccini which I really enjoyed the texture, but her sauces (taught in another class) were probably the best part. Would def do again and consider some of her other courses. Would recommend to anyone wanting a fun cooking and learning experience.

My husband and I decided to take Chef Luana's pasta making class for a fun and different date night. We had such an amazing time! Chef Luana was very knowledgeable and hilarious, it felt like my grandma was teaching me how to cook. We spent the night laughing and of course enjoying the most delicious food. We can't wait to come back with our boys and take her pizza class. Cannot recommend her enough, I've already told all my friends.

I highly recommend chef Luana if you’d like an experience from an authentic and genuine chef! I felt like I just visited my own grandmother and she shares her family tradition!

It was a pleasure taking Chef Luana's pasta class as she was very excellent in teaching proper techniques with high quality ingredients . She made it fun and interactive. It was beyond from what i expected, she is the best and passionate in cooking. I highly recommend her she is wonderful chef and accomodating . She treated us with her homemade pasta as well as appetizers. Thank you Luana, you are truley a wonderful and talented chef! Highlight recommend 100% -Jannet

I'd never taken a cooking class before so I didn't know what to expect. The other three guests were nice. I have been eating the extra pasta I was sent home with for the last two days which was delicious. There are a lot of steps to making pasta from scratch and it definitely gives you an appreciation for the time and effort that goes into preparing good food. Her hand-baked Bruschetta was fantastic! I might just have to come back for a bread-making class! Thank you, Chef Luana

We had a great experience cooking and learning from Chef Luana. She was very thorough with her instructions and did an excellent job making it fun and interactive. I highly recommend booking a class with Chef Luana!

Great class with Chef Luana! She's really passionate about cooking and it was so lovely and informative to spend an evening with her. Aside from making pasta, we had two different types of pasta and appetizers that she made - so thoughtful and attentive. She also makes sure that each person in class gets enough 1:1 hands-on instruction so I think it's a great value class!

Chef Luana was a great teacher! She is very kind and has lots of great stories. The class and the meal make for a wonderful evening with your friends or your lover. My fiance and I would definitely do another class with Chef Luana.

What a fun class! Luana was so kind and the pasta was delicious!!!

Our lesson with Chef Luana was very insightful and enjoyable. She was very kind, patient, and extremely talented. Her food was absolutely delightful. Look forward to the next opportunity to learn more or enjoy more of her expert cooking! Highly recommend!

Chef Luana is the absolute sweetest, most amazing host and teacher!! She is a seasoned professional and welcomes you into her home, like you are family, to share her talent. Thank you for the incredible evening, Chef!!

Chef Luana was incredible! The food was delicious, she made us feel at home the entire time. And we learned quite a bit about pasta making. There were plenty of little touches throughout that showed both her experience and emphasis on making sure the guests get a great experience while tasting authentic homemade Italian food. Would happily come back, and certainly would want to enjoy her cooking again.

Chef Luana is amazing! This is my 2nd time taking one of her classes and every time I bring someone, I know they are in for the ultimate culinary experience! She is hands on, personable and makes cooking fun and tasty! If you enjoy good food, good company in the comfort of her home, this class is definitely for you!

Chef Luana was a wonderful instructor. She clearly articulated instructions and physically guided my friend and I through the process of making pasta from scratch with her unique charisma and humor. 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!

Amazing experience, highly recommend. Best pasta in LA!

What a great experience taking Chef Luana's pasta making class! It was the first time my boyfriend and I have ever taken a cooking class and we couldn't have been more pleased. Highly recommend Chef Luana, she is so welcoming and warm. The class was a lot of fun and the dinner was amazing!! Thank you so much.

She is the best. See you again soon Chef Lu!

Chef Luana provided the most incredible experience! Our family had so much fun. Chef imports all of her ingredients from Italy so this experience felt extremely authentic. We can't wait to take another class with her!

We highly recommend taking Chef Luana’s pasta making class!! We had so much fun and she’s so sweet and knowledgeable. It was my wife’s birthday and she even made a cake from scratch for her! We had an amazing day!!

Absolutely incredible experience. Chef Luana treated us so well we felt like we became family for a few hours. She was incredibly welcoming and sweet, spoiled us silly, and taught us very well. The pasta was delicious and we had enough to take plenty home. If you’ve ever thought about doing something like this, definitely do it. This was one of our favorite date nights Thank you SO much Chef Luana!!

Chef Luana is THE BEST! Couldn’t have asked for a better night and better food

Such a unique experience, Chef Luana was so sweet and welcoming ! We enjoyed our time so much . Not to mention delicious pasta ! What an awesome way to spend the evening .

Chef Luana is a wonderful human and a brilliant chef. The experience was great and we learned some very key tricks to pasta making that we’ll use forever. Thank you chef!

Chef Luana's class - the Fundamentals of Handmade Pasta - was terrific. Chef Luana was so welcoming & warm, she really made the class fun & went above & beyond to make it a top notch experience. The pasta & other food Chef Luana prepared for us was to die for. Can't thank Chef Luana enough for the great experience & can't recommend this class enough.

It was a great experience overall! Chef Luana is very friendly and welcoming. She made the experience very special. The pasta was delicious! I learned a lot. I am definitely making my own pasta from now on! :) I will definitely come back to learn how to make pizza next!

Chef Luana was amazing! We had a wonderful time learning how to make fresh pasta. The food was delicious and her home was warm and inviting. She even finished the meal with a cake and some espresso. Perfecto!

Luana was so great!!! We had such an amazing time and the food was amazing. Make sure to come hungry! I will take the lessons I learned to cook this dish again! Thanks Luana!

Chef Luana was accommodating, warm and great at what she does! It was a joy to learn from her and hear about her amazing life experiences and family. I definitely know who to ask for recommendations when I visit Italy!

All the food was delicious! Chef Luana has the soul of an Italian grandma and will make you feel right at home!

Chef Luana was very charming and an excellent host. You will get an authentic Italian experience with her. For example, I felt like I was back in Italy every time she said "Allora!". We enjoyed the whole experience including the company of the other two couples we met in the class. We look forward to returning again or inviting her join us sometime.

Chef Luana is a great teacher! Had a great time learning how to make pasta! Would definitely recommend!! :)

Great time making pasta with chef Luana. Very hands on but also felt covid safe while doing it!

Chef Luana was great! Thank you so much for letting us into your home and teaching us how to make pasta, and then cooking delicious pasta for us! It was a very cozy atmosphere and she was very down to earth and even helped me with my Italian. Overall a great experience and I can’t wait to do it again

Chef Luana was absolutely incredible! I surprised my boyfriend with her pasta making class for his birthday, and she pulled out all the stops to make the day as special as possible for him (I'm talking about decorations, appetizers, and a delicious birthday cake)! We were both impressed by her extensive knowledge, passion for food, and warm personality. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a hands-on and memorable cooking experience. We will be back soon :)

Chef Luana is amazing! We loved being welcomed into her home and learning from her. We can’t wait to take more classes with her! Worth every penny. Thank you chef Luana!

Chef Luana was great! We had such a fun night, learning and chatting. And the pasta was so simple but soooo delicious. Looking forward to the next class!

Had a great time and plan on going back to to learn some authentic Italian cooking. Highly recommend!

It was a great and unique experience. Chef Luana is authentic and takes pride in her cooking and teaching of Italian culture. In her kitchen, you get the feeling that you’re back home cooking with mom. It’s very hands on and the pasta we cooked was very delicious. We truly enjoyed Chef Luana’s class and can’t wait to book her pizza class.

Such an awesome night at Chef Luana's home! We made one sauce and one pasta from scratch and Chef Luana had the other pasta and sauce already prepared. Both were very delicious and we got to the see the full process behind pasta making! Definitely recommend this as a date night activity or a night out with friends.

Chef Luana is incredible! She imports all her ingredients from Italy, so you're getting the real deal. The class is fun, and she is a great teacher, and the food is AMAZING. You can't go wrong with Chef Luana.

Fantastic experience, we had a great time making pasta from scratch with Chef Luana.

Our group had a lovely time. Learned a bunch about pasty making and greatly enjoyed Chef Launas as a host. I highly recommend this class.

Chef Luana provided a delicious and memorable experience! The food was wonderful, and it is clear that she puts lots of heart, time, and effort into her meals. She created a great environment for us to learn how to make pasta, and our group really enjoyed the evening!

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!

Her pasta recipe is the best! I have never tasted a more "al dente" pasta!

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.

Perfect experience if you'd like to learn something new or for a date. Service is great , instructions are clear and food is impeccable. 100% recommend this experience

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!

We took a pasta making class with Chef Luana and had an excellent experience. From the moment we walked in the door she was warm and welcoming, as if we were long time friends. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow and the pasta was delicious. We look forward to taking another class with her and highly recommend her.

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. :)

Chef Luana is the best! We had such a wonderful night filled with laughter cooking and absolutely the best pasta we have ever had! I definitely recommend this class, Chef Luana goes out of her way to make it a special evening!

What an AMAZING experience!!! Chef Luana was an expert teacher and chef! Loved it so much!

She was so sweet and unreal! She hung a "Happy Birthday" sign for my fiance since this was a birthday gift. (so thoughtful). The classes were fun and we were so full at the end.

Very experienced chef, made the whole lesson memorable and easy. Best pasta in the city, and some really good dessert too

Loved my experience with Chef Luana! The food was incredible and I learned a lot.

It was a wonderful experience with Chef Luana! She is the most caring, fun and an excellent cook! The food we prepared under her guidance was delicious!! I will be using her technique. It was a first time cooking class for me and my son, who is leaving for college. I wanted him to have a new experience, which might be useful in his future life! He is a world for me, I will never forget that time together! Thank you, Luana, for making that special moment for us!

I purchased this course as a surprise for my partner’s birthday and I couldn’t be happier in doing so! We not only had an amazing time with Chef Luana but also enjoyed delicious homemade pasta. It was a treat for both of us and we highly recommend that you give it a try. You won’t be disappointed! :)

Luana was a great chef coach and a fun host!

We have been wanting to learn how to make homemade pasta for a long time. Chef Luana shared her traditional method with us. She taught us the importance of fresh and quality ingredients for making the sauces. The class was amazing and Chef was an absolute joy to work with!! Looking forward to future classes!!

We had a such an amazing time with Chef Luana! We spent the evening in Chef's home and learned all about her family, restaurant back in Italy, and heard great cooking stories. With Chef Luana's help, it felt so easy to make the pasta and she used the pasta we made to cook some delicious dishes for us. We're looking to joint the pizza making class next!

Chef Luana’s class is fantastic. We learned much about pasta making, and she has a very warm, inviting presence. It really felt like being in Italy during her class. We highly recommend.

This was such an amazing experience! The chef is such an amazing and sweet woman. She thoroughly went by each step by step making the class a very fun and enjoyable time. I would definitely recommend this chef over any other! My boyfriend and I are Hoping to book again real soon!

WOW! What a gem of a woman and gifted, generous and gracious chef. Such a memorable experience she gifted us and made all four of us feel right at home! Chef Luana transported us to Italy by way of our senses and her hospitality - oh, and YUMMM! Food was exquisite. Five stars all around. Thank you, Chef Luana!

This was a wonderful learning experience! Chef Luana does a great job in showing you how to prepare and make the pasta and then letting you do it yourself. I feel confident we can try making this at home. All of the food was absolutely delicious! The chef was so friendly, welcoming, and did a great job hosting. Thank you Chef Luana for sharing your recipes, skills, and passion for pasta making.

This was our first experience with Cozymeal and Chef Luana exceeded our expectations!! Chef Luana made us feel so comfortable the entire time and explained every step as we were going. The food that she made was by far the best pasta I’ve ever tried and the appetizers she prepared for us were so delicious. She was even so kind enough to bake a cake for my boyfriend for his birthday!! We can’t wait to book another class with Chef Luana!! 100/100 thanks again for everything!!!

Chef Luana was wonderful. She was warm and inviting. Her teaching was very straight forward and easy to understand. The homemade pasta came out delicious and we even had enough to take home for another meal! We did this experience for our anniversary, and we are very happy we picked Chef Luana.

What an amazing experience! It was our first time making pasta from scratch and thankfully Chef Luana was there to help us every step of the way. All of the food was delicious, from the appetizers to the yummy green tagliatelle and even the spaghetti we made ourselves. Chef Luana also baked a birthday cake, which was very thoughtful! I would definitely recommend this class. Chef Luana is truly a master of her craft.

For my first Cozymeal experience, I had the pleasure of working alongside the knowledgeable and kind Chef Luana! As soon as I arrived, I felt like it would be a very welcoming place to spend a couple of hours in and I was right! Chef Luana demonstrated the process of making fresh pasta, and made sure we got plenty of hands on experience. The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the special treats that we got for appetizers and dessert. I highly recommend Chef Luana for anyone who wants to make an Italian dish, you will not be disappointed by this amazing host!

We had a wonderful experience during our homemade pasta class with Luana. My daughter, granddaughter and I wanted to do something fun together, and this class was perfect! Luana was a great instructor and the food was amazing

Great experience, even greater food ! Very instructive and detailed and an amazing host as as well from start to finish ! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

She is amazing! The entire experience was great. It was worth it and the food tasted fantastic! Would definitely recommend her

Chef Luana was such a delight!! Kind, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. She made us feel like we were doing an amazing job, when maybe we weren't lol, and the end result was a fantastic pasta meal!! Choosing Chef Luana as our guide through authentic Italian Cuisine was one of the best decisions of 2021!!

Chef Luna was very welcoming from the start! She made us very nice appetizers and dessert to go along with the pasta we made. Very friendly, clean place following covid guidelines, and made us feel comfortable. Would highly recommend for a date-night!

She was fantastic and the food was phenomenal!

Cooking with Chef Luana was simply amazing, she makes you feel like family the second you walk into her house. We had the most amazing night, learning how to make pasta, as well as other tips and tricks about Italian cooking. Her hospitable and welcoming presence are unmatched, I recommend her classes to everyone!

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.

Very fun and informative class. Chef Luana was a wonderful teacher!

Chef Luana was great! She was very welcoming and the service/ attention to detail throughout the night exceeded our expectations. Her kitchen/ place was very clean, she ensured to adhere to all covid CDC rules. I felt super comfortable and safe. She offered us delicious appetizers and the food we prepared was amazing! My boyfriend and I had a fun date night. I would definitely recommend Chef Luana for a date night or a fun night with family and /or friends. I would recommend arriving a few mins earlier to find parking/walk through the gate.

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 :)

Where to begin, Chef Luana is an extremely passionate cook who explains step-by-step the process of handmade pasta. She also shares with you a brief history of her culinary career. She is super kind and very friendly. I highly recommend everyone to take this class. The food is magnifico from start to finish. Great for all occasions! I will definitely sign up for another class probably the gnocchi. Thank you Chef!

Amazing class experience! My girlfriend and I had an incredible time with Luana. She knows what she is doing and tries her best to make the experience memorable. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in learning something new.

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.

Luana’s pasta making class was the best! Just like everyone says. :) She has some apps and home made bread for us to snack on when we arrived. She taught us how to make two different sauces and two different pastas. They both were delicious! She was so nice and told the best stories too. Would definitely take another class from her and bring friends!

Luana was AMAZING! We learned a ton about pasta making and had such a great time! Luana is so knowledgeable and a joy to be around! We will definitely be booking more experiences with her!!

A huge thank you to Chef Luana for such an amazing Homemade Pasta making class and her warm hospitality. She takes the time to answer all questions and breaking down the steps so perfectly. All the stories about her background and sharing her stories about her time in Italy. She makes you feel right at home and you leave with so much more knowledge plus food to take home. I highly recommend her class and I will be back for another one.

Chef Luana was an incredible host and would definitely recommend this class! We were beginners and she made us feel right at home.

Had a wonderful time at Chef Luana’s pasta making class! Everything about the experience is authentic, and Chef Luana and her family were so warm and kind. The pasta was delicious, as were the appetizers she made for us to enjoy beforehand. Would definitely do another class or have her cook/cater another occasion!

Chef Luana was absolutely fantastic! We took her Fundamentals of Handmade Pasta class and had a incredible time. Everything from her hospitality, funny stories, attention to detail and a clear understanding of Italian cooking made from scratch and with love. The pasta was delish, we left with very happy tummies and the knowledge to be able to continue making pasta at home. I highly recommend any of her classes! We’re looking forward to going back to learn more. Thank you Chef!

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!

Highly recommended! This was my first time taking a cooking class and my first time making pasta. I bought this for my wife as a birthday present and she LOVED it. Chef Luana is an amazing teacher and we’re looking forward to taking another one of her classes in the future.

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!

Chef Luana teaches an excellent class on the fundamentals of pasta making! Can't wait to try out the pasta!

I wish I could give 10 stars! Chef Luana was a wonderful teacher and created a truly authentic Italian experience for us. We felt like we were taking classes in Italy. She was easy to understand, quite thorough and we learned a lot. I have taken some cooking classes in the past at Eataly but Chef Luana blew them away. The dinner itself was INCREDIBLE. The pasta was delicate and flavorful and her sauces with delicious. WONDERFUL!

Chef Luana provided a wonderful experience. She was hospitable, knowledgeable and super fun. I would not hesitate to recommend this class with Chef Luana to my friends and family.

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! Thank you Chef Luana for an awesome cooking experience!

Chef Luana was not only a fantastic chef but a great host as well. She and her husband were so warm and welcoming to my girlfriend and me in their home. She was also very patient in teaching us to cook and gave us a special treat at the end of our meal! This was an amazing first experience and I can confidently say that her Tagliatelle with mushroom & sausage was the best pasta I've ever had. Ever. I want her to cook all of my meals for the rest of my life! 10/10

Chef Luana was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed learning to make pasta with her. Luana’s sauces were beyond delicious and we can’t wait to make them at home. The thing we loved most about our experience was that she treated us like family and we really felt comfortable spending time in her home. We can honestly say we now have family in LA! Grazie Mille!! xox

Chef Luana was incredibly hospitable and helped us make the best pasta i’ve ever had!! I highly recommend taking her class! Had a blast!

Chef Luana was a delight! She is very knowledgeable, kind and passionate about food! The pasta we made was delicious (I especially loved the spinach pasta with mushrooms and sausage). The experience was so informative, that I could make homemade pasta tonight by memory of her lesson alone. It was a very unique experience, cooking in someone else's home, I could see it being unpleasant with the wrong students or wrong chef but Chef Luana went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Plus the view from the table was pretty exceptional as the sun set. Great experience and would definitely recommend Chef Luana.

My boyfriend and I had so much fun learning how to make pasta from Chef Luana - It wasn't just pasta - it was melt-in-your-mouth GOLD! I felt like my tastebuds were transported right back to the best restaurants in Italy. Thank you Luana, we will be back!

Chef Luana was wonderful! She was welcoming, warm, and very experienced. It was a delight to learn from her and she provided simple, clear instructions that enabled us to replicate the process from home. She is a pro and patient with beginners. It’s evident she wants her clients to have a wonderful experience...and she delivers just that! We left feeling empowered to make pasta of our own (and we have!).

The cooking class was an absolutely amazing experience. Chef Luana and her husband were wonderful hosts, very patient and made making pasta so much fun. Looking forward to taking additional classes in the future.

Chef Luana was incredible! She welcomes my girlfriend and I into her home and taught us how to make pasta. She guided us patiently through each step and provided lots of fun. The meal and chef were both incredible. Thank you!!

My fiancé and I decided to take the pasta making class after we came back from our trip to Italy. I can honestly say that the spinach pasta we made tasted better than any pasta we had in Italy. It was very fun and easy to learn how to prepare these dishes and Luana is very, very experienced in traditional Italian cuisine. She was very easy to work with and told us a lot of fun stories about how she became an Italian chef, with her recipes passed down for generations. I would HIGHLY recommend this class!

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!

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.

This class is fantastic! Chef Luana helped my mother have an unforgettable Mother's Day. She is warm, inviting, and an excellent teacher. Her recipes are simple, but delicious and wholesome. You'll learn so much, and you'll have a great time doing it. Thank you, Chef Luana!

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!

Chef Luana was terrific! We had a great time making pasta for the first time and the meal was amazing. Highly recommend.

From beginning to end this class was a unique, fun, and educational experience! We were able to create and eat a delicious meal, all while learning about Chef Luana and Italy. Chef Luana was so kind, patient, and opened her heart and home to us, which made this class an amazing surprise for my fiance's birthday. Just make sure you let her know if it is for someone birthday - she may have an extra special treat for you! :)

What a beautiful experience! Thank you 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 pasta my wife and I have ever had! You must try! We loved it!!!!

What a treat to spend the evening with Luana! The food was delicious and we really felt like we were transported to Italy for the night! Would highly recommend :)

Chef Luana was just lovely. My friends and I gathered to do something fun as a celebration for my birthday. We all had a great time learning to make pasta!! The food was top notch, as was our experience with the chef. A wonderful time, complete with handmade appetizers and dessert from our host. Thank you!!

We had the most wonderful evening cooking and eating with Chef Luana. She is so incredible welcoming, knowledgable, and a great teacher. If you're looking for an authentic italian pasta-making experience look no further! Definitely will be back for another class :)

I can't express how lovely it was to learn how to make pasta with Chef Luana. As a native of Italy where she owned her own restaurant, Luana's food is to die for. We were welcomed into her home with appetizers and warm greetings. By then end of the night we felt like family. Highly recommend.

We recently visited Chef Luana who hosted us for a pasta making class, and her food and expertise was nothing short of excellent! Her home was full of laughter, warmth, and a genuine authenticity that you can’t find anywhere other than Italy. We will definitely be returning for a new class in the near future!

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!

We had a really good time and learned a lot; Chef Luana is personable and really draws you in and keeps your attention. Answers all questions and really wants to see you learn. Will certainly be back!

Chef Luana was very warm and lovely. Her class was a fun way to spend the evening!

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!

Chef Luana is charming, warm, and a wonderful host. My girlfriend and myself shared the evening with 2 other lovely couples. From appetizers to main course, everything was very delicious. It was very satisfying to see raw ingredients become beautiful, delicious pasta. My only regret was I wish we brought wine! We are recommending Chef Luana to friends and we can't wait to be a guest again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Chef Luana. She created a warm and inviting atmosphere and welcomed us into her home as if we were family. We learned a lot from her class and are looking forward to trying out all the tips she gave us while we were there. I would highly recommend this class!

Chef Luana was absolutely AMAZING. The entire class was so enjoyable. Not only did we learn proper technique for pasta making, she shared recipes that have been with her for over 50 years. She has so much experience and treats you like family. The meal was delicious (special bonus - we got to taste some appetizers that she whipped up before class). I wish I could give her 10 stars. I cant wait to book my next class with Luana!

Chef Luana is fantastic. She was so kind and welcoming, and made you feel like family from the very start. We learned some great pasta-making techniques and had a delicious meal. We will definitely be back!

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 :)

Chef Luana's pasta making class was so delicious and informative! She went above and beyond without a doubt to what was promised. It seems a little pricy but was completely more than worth it at the end!

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.

Luana provided us with an incredible experience and helped us create some of the best pasta we have ever had. Hearing her history and stories from Italy only further demonstrated her passion and love for her country and food. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a special night. We highly recommend her class to anyone looking for a fun night with great food.

Chef Luana was a joy! Not only is she knowledgeable in all things pasta and Italian cuisine, but she truly loves to teach people about making delicious, authentic food. Would highly recommend- never had such delicious pasta in my life!

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.

Chef Luana was amazing. Exactly what we hoped for in an italian chef. We did this on my wife's birthday and Chef Luana made it very special for us. Would recommend her to everyone.

We had such a great experience with Chef Luana! She was very welcoming at her home kitchen and even provided us with an appetizer course and taught us some of her chef secrets. She is a great teacher and chef! The food we ate at the end was wonderful and I would definitely recommend this class to anyone that wants to learn how to make pasta.

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!

Chef Luana was great, and I really learned a lot about homemade pasta. A great date night!

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!

Chef Luana was terrific! She is knowledgable, charismatic and so much fun. Go with an empty stomach...the food - and there is plenty of it - is so delicious. Enjoy!

Chef Luana was fantastic! Her hand made pasta was so good eating regular past will never be the same! She is a great teacher and so friendly and interesting to talk to about her life in Italy! We truly enjoyed her class and hope to take her pizza class next

Chef Luana was the absolute best! I wanted to surprise my girlfriend for our anniversary for a pasta making and Italian dinner cooking class and Chef Luana exceeded all expectations! She was able to come to our apartment with all of her supplies and fresh ingredients. She used to run a restaurant in Italy for many, many years - and it shows! Honestly, I think it may be the best pasta I've ever had! Best of all, she was amazing to just hang out with and chat over a bottle of wine! I've already recommended her to several of my friends and hope to book her again in the future! You will not be disappointed!

Luana was an amazing chef! We cooked different type of pasta. Was an amazing experience! The home is nice and cosy . Truly Italian style. If you are looking for a true Italian home meal Luana’s experience is perfect!

Chef Luana was amazing! The experience was top notch. I would highly recommend her! The food was some of the best pasta I have ever had in my life. Everyone in my group left so happy. Can’t wait to hire her again!!!

Chef Luana is a traditional Italian chef with over 30 years in the kitchen. I went to her lovely home with my girlfriend and honestly did not know what to expect. It was fun, engaging, and now I know how to make pasta by hand. I will definitely be back for her pizza making class! I would definitely recommend!

Wow! Chef Luana is a master of the cuisine of Central Italy. Her food was delicious, authentic, and she is such a warm and charming human being! Chef Luana's food was truly special! She comes from a rich culinary tradition in Central Italy. She grew up in a family of chefs, used to own a restaurant, and is very experienced. It was exceptional and authentic. There were layers of flavors and textures in every dish and I've never had anything quite like it.

I was unable to find the apartment and I didn't think chef was helpful with directions. When I asked for refund she said I wasn't her fault. I just don't think it was very inclusive for someone who had to walk to get to this class

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.

Awful

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!

Cooked delicious gnocchi! Tried it both with four cheese sauce and tomato sauce - both excellent! Opened with Bruschetta and finished with tiramisu. Definitely recommend and am excited to come back!

Such a fun experience today! Very well paced and easy to follow. Don't be late but good class.

Had the best time cooking handmade gnocchi! It was delicious and a very fun experience. Chef Luana is amazing. I definitely recommend her cooking courses for a fun date night or a group event

Chef Luana was fun and energetic throughout the class, and helped prepare a delicious meal of gnocchi, bruschetta, and affogato.

Gnocchi making was fun and delicious. Luana is an amazing teacher !

The most amazing gnocchi ever. Chef Luana taught us so well. We will be back!!!

Made some delicious Gnocchi with the Chef! She's warm, inviting and provides a great atmosphere to enjoy. She also accomodated dietary restrictions with several options. I'd highly recommend learning from a very talented chef. Looking forward to returning for another class!

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

This was a fun and interactive class! Definitely recommend to all! Food was super yummy!

We cooked the gnocchi from scratch and it was an excellent experience. Highly didactic, fun and the results were very tasty.

Luana was great! She was welcoming and hospitable and we enjoyed her coaching during food prep!

We made Risotto and Chef Luana was terrific. She was very knowledgeable and walked us through every aspect and made it easy to understand. She’s very personable, and someone that you would enjoy taking a class with.

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!

Loved the ravioli class with Chef Luana! We made two types of ravioli and she walked us through every step and the result was simply delicious! Would highly recommend a class with Chef Luana!

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.

We made absolutely wonderful gnocchi! And the pleasant conversation and joyful atmosphe were welcome pluses!

We had a wonderful experience! Chef Luana is an amazing chef and teacher. The food we made was delicious! Highly recommend.
