The Chef & The Dish fell nothing short of phenomenal. Such a personal and authentic experience! Chef Carlotta, our lovely guide, showed us around Naples in such a beautiful way! We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. The food was outstanding, as was the wine and the company. Absolutely recommend this for anyone who loves good food and having fun in the kitchen. It made us beginners feel like total professionals. We will keep this with us forever!

The Chef & The Dish was a birthday gift from my wife and we had a blast cooking with Chef Carlotta. She was excellent and laughed along with us as we navigated the journey of making homemade ravioli. She helped us troubleshoot our pasta roller, was patient, and is overall a great teacher. We were very happy with our experience and the food was amazing. We learned two sauces, two fillings, and two types of pasta. Well worth our time. It was a very unique birthday and one we won't forget.
