Recent reviews of Italian Steakhouse Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Jessie Oshann, attended Sep 2026: Our class was lovely! Learned great pasta making, steak cooking and dessert tips. Felt very comfortable in a small cooking space.
  • 5/5 from Dustin Kay, attended Aug 2026: My wife and I had such a wonderful experience with Chef Francesca Mallus! From the moment she welcomed us into her home, she was warm, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable. Her hands-on teaching style made the class so much fun, and we learned a lot along the way. I’m genuinely excited to try making fresh pasta at home and recreating the recipes we made together. We chose this experience to celebrate our anniversary, and it ended up being such a memorable and special way to spend it. Thank you, Chef Francesca, for your hospitality, patience, and for giving us an experience we’ll always remember. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Sandra Waters, attended Aug 2026: What a fun class! Chef Francesca was such a lovely host with so much knowledge. We got to make homemade pasta carbonara from scratch, baked potatoes seasoned to perfection, perfect New York steak with tips on using a Himalayan salt block and chimichurri sauce, and ended with chocolate mouse. It was all so informative and incredibly fun! Totally recommend.
  • 5/5 from Becky Asato-Seo, attended Jul 2026: I gifted my 16 year old nephew and his friend, Chef Francesca's Italian Steakhouse Cooking Class. They both have enjoyed cooking since they were young. The class was fun, informative and they really enjoyed learning new skills. First time making pasta, which is now added to their home-cooking repetoire (lucky us). Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Christine, attended Jun 2026: This was my first ever cooking class and Francesca was amazing! She was so kind and patient and did a wonderful job of explaining what we were doing. The food was absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to take another class with her.
  • 5/5 from Andrea Collicutt, attended Jun 2026: Francesca was AMAZING! We had a a wonderful afternoon making pasta, steak and potatoes and a delicious chocolate mousse.
  • 5/5 from De’arra Taylor, attended Jun 2026: 10/10 class! My friends and I decided on a random Saturday to take this cooking class because we love food, and we had an amazing time. The class was approachable, fun, and not intimidating at all. Francesca was fantastic knowledgeable, engaging, and so much fun to learn from. She kept the conversation flowing and even convinced all of us to invest in a salt stone for cooking steak. Honestly, it was a game changer! I would absolutely book another class here and can’t wait to come back and learn how to cook something new.
  • 5/5 from Marie Medina, attended Jun 2026: Francesca was amazing. Not only was she a great teacher and the food was amazing, but she was so kind, patient, professional, and made this experience even better. I participated with my work colleges and it was nice team build and cook together. She ensured everyone participated and was very encouraging. Our group of four left happy and full. We will most definitely go back and share this wonderful experience with others. Thank you so much Francesca!
  • 5/5 from Shalonda Mitchell, attended Feb 2026: We thoroughly enjoyed Chef Francesca’s cooking class. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine, this is it! The class felt very personal even in a group setting. She took her time and walked us through the different techniques, answered all of our questions, and comforted us with great conversation. The food was amazing and very flavorful. We ate so much we needed a to go box. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks Chef!
  • 5/5 from Barbara Hernandez, attended Jan 2026: Francesca was very nice and welcoming. This was mine and my husbands first cooking class which she gave us a great first experience. I highly recommend taking a class with her. Thank you Francesca!
  • 5/5 from Kristine Deveza, attended Oct 2025: Chef Francesca was a delight and the food we made was delicious (with enough to take home for leftovers, too)! Francesca is a natural-born teacher who puts people at ease with her good humor, conversational skills, and tips and tricks for the recipes that break things down and put even the least experienced of cooks (myself included) at ease. It was an intimate and enjoyable class and I’ll be recommending it to all my friends. Thank you, chef!
  • 5/5 from Sonia Shah, attended Jun 2025: Francesca is an exceptional chef and an even warmer host. She walked us through every step of making authentic Italian pasta from scratch, sharing her professional tips and techniques with generosity and enthusiasm that made the whole class feel easy and fun. The evening ended with a delicious dinner shared as a group, great food, great atmosphere, great company. You leave with a full stomach and real skills to recreate these dishes at home. An absolute must for anyone who loves Italian food. Grazie mille, Francesca!

I was born and raised in the sun-kissed island of Sardinia, Italy.
I'm a passionate chef with a rich culinary journey. With experience in top restaurants from Northern Italy to Atlanta and as a private chef for families in Los Angeles and Georgia I’ve honed my skills in traditional Sardinian and Italian cuisine.
Since 2012 I’ve called Los Angeles home, where I’ve continued to grow and learn from fellow chefs around the world.
My love for food drives me to innovate and perfect my craft blending classic Sardinian specialties like homemade pasta, sauces and desserts global flavors.
