ABOUT IMPASTIAMO
IMPASTIAMO brings the energy of live entertainment to the world of cooking classes making every experience immersive, hands-on, and unforgettable, no matter your skill level. Whether online or in person, our chefs from around the world guide you through interactive culinary experiences where you don't just cook you connect, compete, and create something incredible together.
Founded in 2020 by Silvia Carluccio, whose background in live entertainment at Live Nation shaped our show-driven approach, IMPASTIAMO was built to bring people together through food, culture, and performance. We don't teach cooking. We put on a show that happens to involve food.
Our roster of chefs includes Michelin-trained talent, television hosts featured on major networks, award-winning culinary competitors, and world-renowned experts — including leadership from the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana - bringing unmatched credibility and personality to every experience. Since our launch, we've hosted over 1,000 cooking classes and experiences with chefs from Milan, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Costa Rica, Sicily, Tuscany, Spain, and India — while proudly supporting dozens of small businesses, including restaurants, private chefs, and nonprofits.
OUR MISSION
We believe the best connections happen when people feel free to be themselves. Through immersive culinary
entertainment, we create space for teams, friends, and communities to let their guard down, have fun, and connect
beyond the surface — through the shared language of food, culture, and performance. Driven by our love of food
and our roots in live entertainment, we celebrate cultural authenticity, support small businesses, and champion
more sustainable ways of cooking and gathering together.
MEET THE TEAM
SILVIA MILLY CARLUCCIO
CEO & FOUNDER
Kitchen personality: She's definitely the Chef of the company!
TATIANA
VALORI-SAMPSON
ACCOUNTING AND ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATOR
Kitchen personality: Tatiana loves to cook lots of things, but with so many things going on she can definitely leave a bit of a messy kitchen behind.
AGNESE (KIWI) CAMUFFO
MARKETING MANAGER
Kitchen personality: Kiwi doesn’t believe in keeping it simple in the kitchen. She thrives on diving into complex recipes, mixing up flavors, and experimenting to create something truly unique and delicious. For her, cooking is all about being bold and adventurous.
GAIA
MALIENI
CONTENT CREATOR AND SEO SPECIALIST
Kitchen personality: A hopeless romantic, Gaia’s real specialty is desserts. She can spend her Sunday mornings baking and filling the house with the sweet smell of something delicious. For her, it’s not just about the food, it’s about the joy of sharing, of making the people she loves happy. The funny part? She almost never eats the desserts … except for a few sneaky bites while making them!
BRANDO
MESSINESE
OPS MANAGER
Kitchen personality: Who the ** is Alfredo ?
FABIO
LO FRIA
MARKETING AND CREATIVE STRATEGIST
Kitchen personality: Cooking is no different from filmmaking; it’s about telling a story. There’s the bitter villain of an onion and the sweet hero of a tomato. As the cook/director, it’s your job to weave your guests into the plot of the noodles, to immerse them in the flavors of the story, and to conclude with the adventure of a lifetime—an empty plate.
DANIELLE RASKIN
SALES & EVENT COORDINATOR
Kitchen personality: A little chaotic, a little messy - but always fun. It may not always look perfect, but it USUALLY tastes great. Practice makes perfect:)
SANDRA JIMENEZ
OPS LEADER in NYC
Kitchen personality: Spontaneous and intuitive. She loves going to the farmers market, cooking with what’s available, and getting creative and hands-on (literally)
GINO CAMPAGNA
HEAD CHEF
Kitchen personality: A native of Parma, “The capital of food in the UNIVERSE!” Chef Gino’s mission and passion in life has always been to share his stories and recipes and bring everybody he interacts with around a dining table that gets bigger and bigger as he keeps hosting cooking events for IMPASTIAMO.
