Chef Luana was fantastic. We had a wonderful authentic experience in her lovely apartment. I was there to celebrate my boyfriend and his sisters birthday and she surprised us with having the place decorated for their celebration. The food was fantastic, tasted as if you were transported to Italy! Highly recommend.
