The Twice-Monthly Table
Gather twice each month around a small working table. Bring current decisions, difficult questions, and the parts of your practice that need a clearer eye.
The Long Table
A six-month table for chefs and food-business owners who are past technique and stuck on everything else.
The Long Table is a six-month working circle for chefs and food-business owners who want more than another burst of inspiration. Between intimate residencies at Lake Como, you bring real questions from your kitchen or business, test them in practice, and return to a group that knows your work well enough to challenge it.

The Closing Residency
Return for the closing residency with evidence from the work itself. The final table is less about conclusions than about finding a stronger way forward.

Set on Lake Como
A quieter setting for long attention and serious conversation.
The residencies take place in a private villa above Lake Como.
The lake creates a natural pause from the pace of daily service and decision-making. It is close enough to reach, but removed enough to do the work properly. Exact location details are shared after your application is approved.

MaestroClass gives you the rare chance to work alongside people who have spent a lifetime refining their craft. I left with clearer technique and a respect for the details.
Marta Bianchi
Chef & Restaurateur
The days are beautifully paced: demanding enough to stretch you, generous enough to make every lesson stick. It changed how I approach my own kitchen.
Rafael Cruz
Pizza Chef
This is not a demonstration. You participate, ask questions, repeat the work, and leave with real confidence in what you have learned with the Maestro.
Amelia Grant
Culinary Educator
The setting is unforgettable, but the real value is the access. Every conversation, correction, and shared table feels personal. They really care about the details.
