We had so much fun at our cooking class. Massimo is very entertaining but all the while was teaching us so much selecting fresh food and preparing it. This is a must do tour!!

The views from the chef’s house is an amazingly beautiful setting. Everyone gets involved with the food prep and it’s more than slice this or fold that. It really is hands on. The end result was extraordinarily delicious 5-course meal we all enjoyed together at the end! His staff did all the cleanup behind us. After the class we walked downhill and rode the cable car back up to Umberto. The only downside was that the pre-class at the market was too much detail in the lecture, but the chef does know that he talks too much! We would prefer fewer details, but much of it was useful information.
