I scheduled this cooking class as a surprise for my mother during our stay in Varenna. Chef Luigi and family are gracious hosts and cooking in their well-appointed restaurant kitchen, viewing their herb garden and then dining on the results of our work on the restaurant terrace was truly a trip highlight! Our class had another mother/ daughter team from... More

My daughter and I had a great time and a fabulous meal. It was fun, interesting, and delicious. The cooking was as hands-on as you want to be, and Luigi's family is very engaging. I'll do it again if I ever get the chance. More

We booked a morning cooking lesson having previously eaten in the restaurant on several occasions. There were four of us (2 adults and 2 teenagers), in the kitchen and Luigi, and his team were fantastic. We prepared and cooked our lunch, visited the herb and vegetable garden and spent several unforgettable hours learning from a great chef. Luigi is a... More

My partner and I arranged for 12 members of our family to join chef Luigi, his mother and staff for a wonderful morning spent in the kitchen followed by lunch. Please see our review of the restaurant "Bravo Bravo Bravo". An amazingly honest insight into culinary heaven. Adds so much more to any visit to Bellagio. Oh and the women... More

It was an honour to be in Luigi's kitchen and in his mothers beautiful herb garden! The cooking lesson was entertaining, interesting and lots of fun. Luigi is not only talented and patient but also willing to share his knowledge with those who are far less talented! I highly recommend taking one of his lessons and if not then simply... More

Chef Luigi Gandola is one of the finest Michelin Star Chefs in all of Italy. Very kind and patient. One of my dreams was to take cooking lessons from Chef Luigi whom I had come to hear about from Australian as well as English friends. Very unpretentious and amazingly talented Chef. The experience was amazing, and we got to enjoy... More

If you're in Bellagio, add the cooking lesson to your agenda. Luigi picked us up around 9:45am and then warmed us up by explaining the key ingredients of the Italian cuisine. I had the lesson when it's the truffle and mushroom season, so he passed around the white truffles and black truffles for us to smell. It is just divine.... More
