Katie and Giancarlo Caldesi, owners of the two Italian Caldesi restaurants located on Marylebone Lane, also run a cookery school called Cucina Caldesi.

Situated next to the restaurants, it offers courses in Italian cooking from all regions of the country. There are many courses to choose from; half-day or one day courses, on-going weekly courses or tailor-made courses for small groups or corporate entertaining. Recipes can include wild boar with chocolate and chicken with cinnamon and lemon.
