Milan: Pasta Tiramisu Cooking Class in a Chef’s Home(Small Group)
Description
Hosted in a real chef’s home — not a commercial cooking school. This experience is designed to feel personal, not staged. You won’t be in a classroom with individual stations, but in a real home where everything happens together, just like in Italy. I’m a trained chef with experience in professional kitchens, and the focus here is not just following recipes, but understanding technique — so you can actually recreate what you learn. We work with carefully selected ingredients, avoid shortcuts, and keep the group small to ensure everyone is involved. It’s a balance between professional cooking and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere — more like cooking with a friend who knows exactly what he’s doing.

Wonderful evening w Rafael for our family. Hands on, casual, and informative evening learning about Italian cooking techniques and ingredients. We enjoyed some wine, great food, and Rafael's hospitality. He's very knowledgeable, fun, and great to hang out with. Was one of the highlights of our Milan visit. Would highly recommend spending an evening w Rafael.
We had a wonderful time with Rafael and this was a highlight of our trip for the kids. Not only was the food delicious, but Rafael was thoughtful and engaging.
Chef Rafael made our day! We are a close friend/family group of seven. He made us feel at home, had everyone involved and laughing. This experience is a do not miss if you visiting Milan. The way he connected the food with his life experiences~ really made us feel connected. He educated us on everything, right down to eggs! The food we all Cooked together was amazing~ some of the best pasta and tiramisu we have ever had. We are absolutely purchasing a pasta machine when we arrive back in Boston. Chef Rafael also shared his recipes~ so we can recreate the day over again with friends!
Our experience in the kitchen of Rafael, was unbelievable! From start to finish, it was so enjoyable and we left with a true taste of authentic Italian food. Rafael was so genuine, charismatic, hilarious and truly knows how to entertain. He shared his recipes with us in hopes we continue cooking authentic Italian in our home, which is exactly what we intend to do. Absolutely amazing experience! Book with Rafael, you will not be disappointed!
Rafael is very enthousiastic and open minded person. We loved his lessons in italian cooking, but also his personal stores about his life and family. It was like cooking with family!

Rafael was fantastic, hands down one of the most memorable experiences away with my partner. It was a special occasion as well and Rafael didn’t hesitate to go above and beyond the service I expected. Thank you, I would recommend to anybody wanting to try his class for an authentic experience.
What a fun evening. Great mix of learning, cooking and of course…eating. Relaxed environment creating a comfortable homelike feel. Rafael possesses a wealth of cooking knowledge mixed with many stories of history and travels resulting in the perfect chef to provide a great cooking experience.
Had a wonderful lunch experience with the chef, Rafael, who made us all feel so welcomed and at home. Besides being a gracious host, the food we prepared was super delicious. This was a highlight of our time in Milan.
