Authentic Italian Cooking Classes with Head Chef Marco


Have you ever wanted to learn how to make fresh pasta or that perfect pesto sauce?

Myself and the team here at the InterContinental Residence Suites Dubai Festival City would like to extend an invitation to take part in a fascinating culinary experience at the MezzaLuna restaurant. From Saturday 27th February, I will be starting a bi-monthly cookery classes and will continue every second Saturday thereafter.

  • Your day will start with breakfast in Mezza Luna at 10:00am followed by the presentation of your special chefs uniform.


  • I will then present the four course menu that you will be preparing for the day and will explain and demonstrate the various ingredients and cooking methods that you will be learning.


  • After preparing the menu under my guidance the dishes will then be served for tasting, matched with selected beverages.


Starting Saturday 13th March, and every second Saturday thereafter, the class will feature a different theme, allowing you to explore all aspects of Italian cuisine with me as your guide. This amazing experience is being offered for only AED 600 per person and spaces are limited. Please contact restaurant reservations on 04 7011128 to make a booking, or email restaurant.reservation@ichdfc.ae
