Meet Ciao Evento

Ciao Evento is built around a simple idea: cooking is more memorable when it feels like a celebration. Blending Italian culinary traditions with a lively, social atmosphere, the company has created an experience that feels less like a traditional cooking class and more like a night out centered around food, connection and shared experience. We spoke with Sam Akiba, who co-founded the business with his business partner, Andrea Belfiore, about what makes Ciao Evento’s approach distinctive and how the company has grown from intimate gatherings among friends into a thriving events business.
