Lovely way to learn about Milanese cooking and have a great dinner - Great time. We made Eggplant Parm, Gnochi, and Cantucci. We had a blast. The kids were very engaged and really enjoyed themselves as well. At the end of it, we had a wonderful dinner and met people from all over the world that were in our class The Chef was great and kept us engaged

Thank you again! - Ilaria was unfortunately sick, yet we had a great afternoon. Her two kitchen helpers took over and brought us into the world of Italian cuisine. Have learned a lot of tips and tricks and laughed a lot. The food was very delicious, anytime again !

Good times - Chef Ilaria is very funny. So you’ll not only be learning to cook italian dishes but also laughing with her. I had problem with my internet therefore I couldn’t make it to the class. She was so nice to allow me to go to the one in the afternoon. Of many cooking class i’ve followed I really loved this one.

Excellent - Ilaria is a very prepared and attentive chef, we spent a beautiful time shared with people from all over the world. Highly recommended, bravo Ilaria

Worthwhile - Ilaria was a tremendous tutor, the recipes easy to prepare, and delicious. Participants came with differing levels of competencies. Please reduce the Chilli flakes for a yummier experience.

Simply delicious - Dalia was great! I didn’t want to leave. I wish it was a smaller group and we all ate what we made, not combine everyone’s. This was the best experience for our kids which were teens.

Great bang for your buck - Great bang for your buck! One of our party has a gluten allergy they were able to accommodate. The food we made was great and we got to learn about Italian culture. There were enough breaks and hydration opportunities so we weren’t tired.

Great experience, highly recommend! - A brilliant experience, very well organised. A wonderful time pasta making, lots of fun highly recommend. We made focaccia, ravioli and amoretti!

Chef and the City -A must do experience!!! - My daughter and I scheduled a visit to my granddaughter who is enrolled in a study abroad program in Milan. I was researching fun activities to do that would fit in between her classes and internship. I saw the opportunity for a cooking class with Chef Ilaria in her Chef and the City establishment (great play on words) and we all had a memorable experience. Chef Ilaria was funny, welcoming, professional and patient. We learned how to make pasta for lasagna from scratch, made the fresh garnish for Bruschetta and made Tiramisu. Ilaria was a great group leader and instructor. Being native New Yorkers, we love our Italian food and it was a pleasure to learn how to make an Italian meal with an authentic Italian chef. Highly recommend this experience.

Rudest Chef - Really rude chef. Chef Ilaria made me feel unwelcome from the moment we walked in. We booked this place due to the high reviews but are surprised due to the rude and rather insulting treatment received. We arrived early for the course but were happy to wait outside. Upon the doors opening we walked inside. I said Bonjourno but was reciprocated with “why didn't you ring the bell in a telling off sort of tone.” We explained that we messaged to say we were outside and were responded with “we don't have time to check messages as we are far too busy”. From here on the rudeness continued. I was vegetarian and I simply asked to confirm they had noted me to be vegetarian and was responded to “yes your husband sent us message to tell us” followed with a rolling of the eyes. She proceeded to say that everything would be jointly made and shared by all. So I simply queried whether meat would be prepared separately again received a rude toned response telling me that that veg and non-veg would be jointly prepared and not separated. She then singled us out and gave us less ingredients and smaller utensils compared to others in the cooking class. In contrast her assistant was pleasant and actually noticed the rudeness we received and came over to apologise to us. The cooking class would have been enjoyable with a nicer friendlier chef. We have done many cooking classes around the globe but this is the first time we received such a rude and unwelcome treatment. We would hope this is not due to our Indian origin.
