Chef Luca provided an extremely memorable experience. His teaching was very informative, all the food we made was delicious, and he was a blast to hang out with. I couldn’t recommend this class and Chef Luca enough!

We had a lovely night with Chef Luca, from the beginning his energy and passion for cooking set the tone for a really fun night. We enjoyed delicious food and learned how to make each dish and different elements of flavors, combinations, etc. The evening flowed so well, from the different dishes to great convo, it felt so easy with him and he left the kitchen super clean at the end of the night. (Yay for less clean up)
We’re already planning another night to have him back with a larger group of friends. I highly recommend anyone doing this as a couple or small group, such a different experience than being out at a restaurant. Can’t wait to have him back again soon! Thx Chef!

One of our most memorable date nights! Chef Luca was charming, dynamic, and so knowledgeable! He made the experience super fun, and not intimidating for novice chefs. It was basically like being part of the most fun cooking show you have ever watched. I can’t wait to book Chef Luca again!

Chef Luca was amazing! He was so much fun and was super knowledgeable about all things Italian food. I booked one of his cooking classes for my husband's birthday and we really enjoyed our time. We have been making our own pasta ever since! We will for sure book him again!

Chef Luca- your class was incredible! My boyfriend and I cannot speak more highly of your kindness, patience, and of course humor! Not only was the class amazing, but the atmosphere was incredible. His space is charming- filled with beautiful artwork (that he created himself!) Thank you so much for an incredible experience Luca we will sure be back!

I bought this for my husband's birthday. We had a blast! Chef Luca is very knowledgeable and experienced. It was great learning about his culture and recipes. I highly recommend this experience for all! We plan on coming again with some friends. We've taken other cooking classes before, but this one felt more intimate and personable. The apartment is incredibly cool, with Chef Luca's artwork on all the walls. Very cool experience!
Kim S.
He was great...fun, energetic, informative, polite and an incredible chef.
Adam G.
This was an amazing experience. Not only was the food delicious, but Chef Luca is knowledgeable about the food, passionate about teaching, and created an electric atmosphere.
Instead of your typical cooking class, Chef Luca took the time to educate our party about the local ingredients, what to look for when selecting ingredients, what region they came from in Italy, how to find them in Atlanta or purchase them from overseas, and then we taste test all the different pairings. My favorite was taste testing high quality olive oil and then each round adding a new flavor profile to it to compare the differences (black vs. purple salt, red vs black pepper, and balsamic vs. basil).
The cooking portion of class was very hands on. Regardless of your ability levels or comfortability in the kitchen everyone walked away with an enhanced skillsets. Chef Luca coached people in every aspect of cooking from how to improve their knife skills, properly caramelizing onions, what to look for when create pasta from scratch, and finally how to plate food for dinner parties to impress your guest.
I cannot recommend this experience enough and look forward to taking more classes with Chef Luca.
Brett S.
Very fun, engaging, and knowledgeable chef of Italian cuisine. This experience is definitely worth the money. Chef Luca allows you to bring in a bottle of wine and even sends suggestions based on the cuisine. Chef Luca does a very good job working the room and talking to everyone, he kept us laughing the whole time, and at the same time he showed expertise in classic Italian cooking. He allows you to see the basics of Italian and taste each step then expands on that all the way to plating a Michelin star meal.

I booked Chef Luca for a surprise birthday dinner for my boyfriend! It was perfect because the location was obscure and he was so confused about where we were going. The space has a cool vibe and features Luca’s own artwork! Luca has a fun and fiery personality that is sure to make you laugh and smile. The food was simply delicious and he also teaches you about the different ingredients and how they each play their role in the meal. He also knows when to give you your space and allow you to enjoy the food and your company. We will definitely be visiting him again and again!

Grazie mille, Luca! Thank you for the nice evening, the delicious food and the secret tips you shared with us that you learned from your grandma for the best homemade pasta and traditional Italian cooking. We appreciated the finest ingredients you used, which is a must for a tasty meal. We will come back for a pizza lesson, which I am sure will be so much fun as well. Saluti!
Maryanne M.
Our group booked Cozymeal for a birthday celebration. Chef Luca made us feel at home from the first moment we walked in. He is super friendly, gave us lots of tips and interesting facts about Italy and traditional Italian cooking. The cooking experience was fun especially making the pasta. The food was excellent! We will remember the fun and entertaining experience we had for years to come.
