A fun cooking lesson with Chef Luigi Gandola

The culinary adventure begins at 10am when Chef Luigi himself awaits you at the ferry boat area and tells you stories about his kitchen during the trip to the Salice Blu restaurant. When you arrive at the restaurant, you will be welcomed with a coffee or cappuccino and put on your apron, ready to see the aromatic herb garden and the vegetable garden behind the restaurant. At around 10.30am it’s time to go into the kitchen and start the lesson! Once everything is cooked, you will have the chance to sample what you have made and will receive a special certificate! The lesson finishes at around 14:30. The return journey to the centre of Bellagio is organised.
