This chef's classes will go viral soon! Highly recommend to book asap! - This experience is truly unforgettable! We’ll be recommending Rapha to everyone visiting Milan. He is an amazing host, and the entire evening was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. My partner and I had a fantastic time learning how to make pasta from scratch. We also learned about essential Italian dishes, the history behind the ingredients, and the culture surrounding them. The actual meal we prepared was one of the best we had during our entire trip! Rapha’s warm Milan loft, paired with the great wine he served, created the perfect atmosphere for a memorable night with a terrific host. With his exceptional talent, personality and ability to teach we wouldn’t be surprised to see him become a celebrity chef soon—be sure to book with him while you can!

The true Italian experience - We had a blast with my brother during Raphael’s cooking class. Good vibes, a lot of knowledge about food, ingredients and Italian culinary history as well as unlimited fun (and quite some wine) characterized the evening . The experience lasted approximately four hours. If you want to have extra fun ask for the mean chef experience 🤭

Highlight of our mother/daughter trip - I studied abroad in Milan for 4 months and my mom came to visit for a couple of weeks. We did this pasta-making class and it was the highlight of our trip together! Rafael shares history, culture, and expert cooking tips through the hands-on experience of making pasta, all from the generous hospitality in his home. It is so fun and the food is also FANTASTIC. This is an authentic, can’t-miss experience. Thank you Rafael - we can’t wait to see you again soon! Sarah and Lori

This cooking class with Rafael will be the best experience you have in Italy. - Rafael made this experience the best thing I have done while in Italy. He was knowledgeable, super fun, and we could have spent all night talking and cooking food. We made Tiramisu, fettuccine Alfredo, and pasta with tomato sauce. You have to do this if in Milan.

Very nice evening! - What a nice evening with Rafael! Very nice, fun, interesting man who is a great cook and tried to teach us how to see and feel how the dishes should work- not just following a step but step recipe. A lot was on the importance of good ingredients and then things can be very simple and delicious. It was me and my 18 and 20 year old young adults and they loved it as well- we even connected on life, music and movies! It was very easy to get to - took a quick tram there and then walked back to our hotel. Go see Rafael!

A fantastic experience! - Absolutely brilliant! My Mum and I joined the session during a recent visit to Milan and it was for sure the biggest highlight of our trip! Rafael was welcoming and friendly from the start and incredibly knowledgeable. We were shocked at how delicious the food was with so few ingredients and can’t wait to try it for ourselves at home!

Highlight of our trip to Italy - This is a must do while you are in Milan! Rafael is kind, knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor and is a great teacher. He created a welcoming environment and made everyone feel comfortable. The food we made was DELICIOUS and easy enough that we were able to recreate it when we got back to the US. Rafael was communicative and answered all of our questions, even after the class was over. He sent me the recipes and wanted to know how it went when we made the food at home. It is clear that he loves what he does and also loves to share it with others. His work space was clean and he ensured that all participants washed their hands - this was huge for us! If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience, this is the class for you! Thanks, Rafael, you are awesome!!
