I met Gabriele and his pizza workshop through a chef friend who recommended his work to me. The pizza workshop went wonderfully. A relaxed atmosphere but with an incredible level of detail, both theoretical and practical. As soon as I got home, I immediately started making pizzas, and my family and friends loved them.

I did a one day, one on one, Neapolitan style pizza course with Gabriele. The goal was for me to be able to make good, light and airy, authentic pizza for family and friends. Consistency with the dough, shaping and cooking was paramount for me. The course with Gabriele was brilliant. We started with the theory and then it was hands on from there. He led me through each stage of pizza making and concentrated on the areas where I was making huge mistakes. Gabriele is patient and explains things well. He focused the course on my goals and capabilities. The course was well worth it. My pizzas have improved 10 fold and I now have much more confidence in the pizza making process. At the end of the course Gabriele provided detailed notes for future reference and has followed up to see how my pizza making was progressing.
