What These Classes Are Like

Each class takes place in your own kitchen, whether large or small. Davide demonstrates authentic Tuscan dishes while guiding everyone through the process step by step.

 

These are hands-on, relaxed, and highly interactive experiences rather than formal cooking lessons.

 

Guests cook together, ask questions, learn practical techniques, and at the end sit down to enjoy the meal that’s been prepared.

 

No special equipment is required — just a kitchen, a group of curious people, and an appetite.

ABOUT DAVIDE

Davide Cerretini is an Italian chef, restaurateur, and unapologetic troublemaker in the food world. Born in Tuscany and trained in traditional Italian kitchens, he built a career in both Europe and the United States before becoming internationally known as the 'One-Star Chef', owner of Botto Bistro, the California restaurant that famously invited customers to leave one-star reviews on Yelp.

 

Behind the headlines is a chef who cares deeply about food and hospitality. Davide’s cooking is rooted in the traditions of Tuscany - simple ingredients, confident technique, and big, unforgettable flavours. His private dining experiences combine that culinary heritage with the warmth, humour, and storytelling that have made him a favourite with guests for decades.

Davide’s public challenge to Yelp became the subject of the feature-length documentary Billion Dollar Bully, a segment on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and multiple television and radio appearances across the U.S. and UK.
