We not only had the most delicious meal at Visconti but the entire experience was the best dinner during our trip to Italy. Leonardo is the amazing chef and his wife Jaynie serves the food. But those titles don’t do them justice because they treat...More

  For anyone who wants to learn how to cook authentic Italian cuisine from an expert chef in a small hilltop town in Abruzzo, we whole-heartedly recommend a week at Viscanti Kitchen. The itinerary for each day was a perfect balance between time in the kitchen...and extra curricular activities. There were many highlights, including: cooking techniques and ingredients for making tasty Italian cuisine along with 37 secret tips for success, visits to the cheese factory and medieval towns, wine and olive oil tastings, truffle hunting, seeing gardens and learning about the source of each ingredient and how it is used to make a special dish. This itinerary was perfect. But an even more important component was the warmth and hospitality provided by Jaynie and Leonardo. That extended from the love that they bestowed on generating any dish to the interactions they had with local farmers, vinters, and artisans. This was a unique trip for us and we give it our highest possible rating. More

  My sister and I had a wonderful day learning who to cook Italian style, using home grown organic vegetables and local fare. Leonardo, Janey and Luigi are the perfect hosts, informative, friendly and often amusing, and they put their hearts into every thing they do....I would highly recommend, and would definitely book again, perhaps for a special gift for someone dear.
