Italian Culinary Institute, Italy

Spent 3 months studying at the ICI. It changed my perspective about Italian regional cooking. Outstanding chefs and unbelievable experiences. The field trips were well planned and inspiring. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in gaining knowledge of food in general. I would also recommend having a formal culinary education or professional kitchen experience before entering the school.

I spent one week at ICI in January 2019 while attending the charcuterie class. As a hobby sausage maker I wasn't sure this was for me. It was one of the best things I've ever done. The staff was professional but also personal. The networking alone would make the class worth the money. Chef John and Chef Juan besides being great chefs were great teachers. I would highly recommend attending their classes.

I have attended a total of 4 times for specific classes I had interest in. Each time I come away with a greater appreciation of the art of regional Italian cooking. I just attended the " Conserves" class and it was informative and fun. The style of teaching is to get you to understand the techniques and not just give you a bunch of recipes. Chef Tom Kresler

This is an amazing school with an amazing group of culinary professionals who are informative and supportive. Master Chef John, Chef Juan, Chef Christy, Chef Ryan, Chef Thristy and Front of House Mgr Mariana made the entire experience one which will not be soon forgotten. The ICI program is designed for culinary professionals and advanced Amateur enthusiast. The lessons learned will add value and personal reward to all those who attend. Additionally the school is located on the Ionian Sea which serves as a wonderful backdrop for one of the World's greatest full immersion Culinary Institutes. Highly recommended.
