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!
