Itinerary

Meet at Ristorante La Chicca

Coffee & a Chat with the Chef (10 min)

Meet at La Chicca and start with a coffee. The chef will tell you what's likely to be good at the market that morning, and together you'll get a rough idea of what the day's menu might look like.

Sant'Ambrogio Market (30–45 min)

A one-minute walk from the restaurant. The chef walks you through the market, pointing out what to look for — how to spot good fish, why one vegetable is better than another that day, what a good stall actually looks like. You'll get to handle things, ask the vendors questions, and help pick out what you're bringing back.

Cooking Session at La Chicca (1h30)

Back at the restaurant, you'll wash up and cook a three-course Italian meal with the chef: a few antipasti, fresh pasta or risotto, and a classic dessert like tiramisù. Wine is poured throughout — white, red, sparkling, or rosé, whatever you prefer. Unlimited for the whole session.

Lunch, No Time Limit

Sit down and eat what you cooked, with more wine alongside it. There's no set end time — stay at the table for as long as you'd like.
