"We had a fun afternoon of pizza making with Armando. He guided us through the process from choosing the right ingredients to mixing and stretching the dough to eating a delicious Napoli style pizza for lunch, with wine. Armando also followed up with an email supplying the dough recipe after the cooking lesson which was very thoughtful. His kitchen is a distance from Milan centrale, so give yourself about an hour to get to his place by tram. Also, a focaccia making experience was advertised, paid for and expected but, we made pizza. Still fun and we learned alot, thanks Armando! "
"Good experience with Armando, he gave us a lot of recommendations. The pizza was amazing! We have had a lot of fun!!! Thank yous so much!!"
"I had the pleasure to attending a cooking session with Armando in May 2022. He is a amazing guy, very knowledgeable in the Pizza making, and the Italian culture in general. I would strongly recommend this experience in case: / you are a group ( 2 or more ) of friends who are relatively new to the Italy, and very interested into understanding the Italian cuisine through a fun and entertaining way. / If this applies to you, then you are in for an awesome experience!"
"Lovely evening with fine wine, good food and great host. Excellent way to learn the inside tips and tricks to make real Italian Pizza (without pineapple…)"
"We had a fantastic time with Armando. He tought us all the secrets of true Napoli pizza baking and helped us understand the differences between faccacia, pizza as well as the specific fried pizza. A great experience and excellent value that we would recommend to anyone that are interested in learning to bake pizza or foccacia. Also, Armando is very well versed in Milan and gives great advise on trip options."
