COOKING CLASSES
Learn how to cook Italian from an Italian Master Chef
Chef Gianluca Deiana Abis
Gianluca was born in Sardinia (Italy) and grew up spending more time in his grandfather's restaurant than his own home. The energy of the restaurant life was addictive, and he knew he had found his calling. He eventually graduated with honors from the I.P.A.S Istituto Professionale Alberghiero Statale (Arzachena - Costasmeralda), One of the top culinary art institutes in Italy.
