Highlights
  • Via Vincenzo Foppa, 6 - If you don’t see a date that works for you or you are more than 2, please send me a message.
    This is a unique Italian cooking lesson. You’ll be welcomed into my historic house in the center of Milan, featuring a terrace lush with flowers and trees. Here, you’ll savor the delicious dishes you prepare: pasta, ravioli, and gelato, accompanied by excellent wine and limoncello made from lemons grown on my terrace. I will share all the secrets of making tagliatelle and the famous ravioli, so you can return home as an authentic Italian chef. You will also learn the secrets of classic gelato—soft, creamy, and made from our family recipes that adhere to Italian traditions! Your friends at home will be amazed when you serve them homemade dishes you learned to make following typical Italian recipes in a unique and rare setting.
    Cooking is a family tradition: when Grandma Bruna is too tired, her daughter, grandson, and granddaughter step in to help.
    In our family, we all had the best grandmother as a teacher.
    My house is home to a well-behaved and joyful dog and a few unobtrusive and invisible cats that observe everything from the roof of the orangery. Kids over 8.

Additional Information

Grounded in my fervor for culinary arts and family recipes that have been perfected across generations, I’ve had the privilege of honing my skills in premier Italian and international cooking academies, including the esteemed Paul Bocuse Institute (3* Michelin) located in the picturesque Ecully castle. During our time together, we’ll unfold the intricacies of crafting delicious ravioli or whip up tagliatelle using my beloved Bolognese nanny’s recipes. Step-by-step, you’ll master the art of creating authentic Italian gelato, which is simpler than it seems. Bear in mind that Italian cuisine is relatively straightforward to prepare with a minimalistic ingredient list, but mandates high-quality produce; this uncomplicated approach is the secret to its outstanding taste.

Our culinary journey will unfold in a venue blanketed by a verdant array of fruit trees and an abundance of flowers, which you can enjoy while having your lunch/dinner with a breathtaking view of Milan’s skyline. Our location is also conveniently proximate to the Duomo square, Leonardo’s Last Supper, the Prada museum, and the Navigli. Situated in the Designer and Fashion zone with subway services till 1 am, it ensures an invigorating yet safe exploration in the historical grandeur of Milan that will certainly be etched in your memory!

  • I will send a email the day before your scheduled date with all the directions, please follow the instructions since it will be difficult to find the place due to city constructions.

A wonderful experience and meal - It was a great experience- the home is so quant and well maintained. The area for the class is functionally organized and roomie - Marco was fantastic and gives great direction and instructions. He also shows so much respect and honor to his granny. They considered everyone’s dietary and cultural preferences and were accommodative without excluding group. There was organization and structure with each step of the process. The outside garden is lovely and it was wonderful to enjoy a meal together as if you were at someone’s home.
