Italian Cuisine

International School of Italian Cooking

The beginnings of the Italian Cuisine school date back to 1985 when Professor Nobuo Nishimura, owner of the Japanese publishing house, Bunryu, began to spread Italian traditions in Japan. Nishimura, who had met the young Chef Gianluca Pardini a few years earlier in Tokyo, decided to entrust him with the task of training Japanese Chefs in Italy.

After many years in the hills of Siena, the school was moved to Lucca in 2004, opening its doors to aspiring Chefs from Italy and from all over the world.

Director and Chef Gianluca Pardini, together with his close-knit team carries on the business, teaching the beauty and challenge of confronting the stove every day and being constantly up to date.
