    My family and I had such an amazing time at the cooking class with Marco and Roberto. it was so much fun and they had all the equipment for us. The amount of food at the dinner table was perfect and the table looked amazingly set. They had the kitchen looking better than we had it started. We highly recommend Marco and Roberto! Thank you!

    The cooking class with Marco was great. He was very explanatory, welcoming and kind. We ate the best tiramisu ever! Also his house is in a great area in the forest and nature. The location was the most beautiful and all the nature near you (birds, quiet, green)! I will definitely visit Marco again.

    Our group of 5 had a wonderful day with Marco He met us at the market to select a menu and then guided us through the preparation of a 3 course dinner at his home. He was a gracious host, answered our many, many questions and was lovely company while we all enjoyed the meal. We would be very happy to spend another day learning from Marco.

    We had a great cooking experience with Marco. The communication prior to the event was efficient (WhatsApp) and he gave us the opportunity to customize the menu to our liking. We were welcomed to cook in his own house in Sesto Calende which made it such an authentic and personal experience. All equipment and ingredients were provided upfront by Marco. Marco was patient and instructive in his teaching and the food turned out great! He even went the extra mile (literally) by driving us home all the way to our apartment. Thanks for the experience!

Driven by a deep passion for cooking, I spent 35 years honing my skills as an amateur chef, delighting family, friends, and colleagues with my culinary creations. Since 2017, I transitioned into a professional chef, pursuing my love for food on a more dedicated path.

My appreciation for cuisine extends to dishes from around the globe, as I believe food serves as a gateway to understanding the rich cultures of different communities.

I hold a strong aversion to wastefulness, especially when it comes to food, and strive to minimize waste wherever possible.

Fluent in Italian, English, and French, I am adept at communicating and connecting with others across various linguistic backgrounds.
