Fabulous Food Experience in the walled city
Joyce_T
, Apr 2022
We were greeted by Chef Giuseppe and then escorted on a wonderful journey through the markets of Lucca. Eight of us arrived at his lovely home where the class was to be held and were greeted by a beautiful table set and decorated by his wife Liz. In the kitchen we began with prosecco and an olive oil tasting followed by more prosecco and the class. The class was fun and the food delicious. We helped prepare and enjoyed a four course meal that was fresh and wonderful, This class is not to be missed. If you enjoy good food and wine you will love this food experience.

Superb birthday treat

We all thoroughly enjoyed our cookery experience with Giuseppe. Even my husband who has problems opening tins! It was great to be taken to the bakeries and food shops and have the goods explained to us. Who knew my garden weed Borage can be used as a vegetable? We went to Giuseppe’s fabulous apartment, it was so nice to see inside buildings that as a tourist you can usually only walk past. We were then shown how to prepare a delicious lunch, whilst tasting and comparing virgin olive oil, local wines, bread, beautiful ingredients and so on. Plus some great kitchen technique training. Giuseppe is engaging, informative and a lot of fun. After our delicious lunch, we left with huge smiles and many great memories.

Cooking and Culture in an ancient walled city

, Jun 2021
Imagine walking the streets of an ancient walled city while learning about the local food, culture, exploring hidden cafes, bakeries, and a fresh vegetable shop that will blow your mind! Imagine no more as Chef Guiseppe makes this a reality. For lovers of simple yet elegant local Italian cuisine who prefer an intimate setting to learn how to prepare a wonderful four course meal using local, sustainable ingredients, paired with local wine, this class is for you! We would do it all over again just to hang out with Guiseppe! Five stars are not enough!

wrong day and month

, Oct 2019
I made a reservation and didn't notice that the date they were showing me was the following month.
I went in person the next day and they couldn't fit me in and would not give me a refund. No refunds even if you make a mistake and the date you booked is a month away!
Response from Host , Oct 2019
Hi Kelly, You were booked on October 26th via Viator. You did not show up or contact us. Maybe you communicated with Viator? If you had kindly contacted us directly instead of leaving a bad review, for which we had no knowledge, I would gladly have rescheduled you! You did not show up in person the next day (Sunday), as we are closed on Sundays. Yes, we are fully booked at this time of year, it is up to the guest to read and know the class date they select. But this is not an honest representation of the facts. If Viator refused you a refund you need to address with them, we handle the cooking, they handle the money. thank you.
