5.00This will be the best thing that you do in Lucca. Our chef’s were so gracious with their time and their home. I will totally be able to recreate this meal at home. We just loved our day with Novella and Marco.
A lifetime memory

5.00We had a great experience with Rossana and Alberto. Not only did we learn about making pasta, we made friends and learned about Lucca. As a family we connected, laughed and are excited to try our new skills. Thank you for the honor of being in your home and hearing your stories and secrets for cooking.
Must Do! with Silvia!!

5.00Wonderful class with an amazing host Silvia. Her home was beautiful, English was great, and the wine, food, and cooking instruction were top notch. Highly recommend. She was even SO kind to drive us to our flat outside the walls after her class. Would do it again on my next visit for sure.
Andrea was very kind,...

4.00We really liked everything but we thought we were going to try ravioli or tortalini filled pastas as we make the tagliatelle and spaghetti style at home just a little disappointing. But please understand everything we made was fun our group was great the place was amazing and the ladies teaching were great the house is beautiful. Loved the olive tasting too. The wine was wonderful. I’m a little disabled now so they had an electric lift was perfect.
Experience you will be part of

5.00Fantastic experience!! On scale 1-10 this is clearly a 11!! Monica and Paolo really made us feel like part of the family. It was served the most delicious flavors of local ingredients and wonderful atmosphere around the table! Making pasta was over expectation where we got a thorough introduction to the technique and recipes. Would recommend to everyone to go on this “travel”! Thanks again for a fantastic evening Monica and Paolo (and Molly)

5.00We had an amazing experience with our host Silivia! We learned how to make fettuccine, ravioli, and tiramisu all from scratch. Silva was a wealth of food knowledge, and we learned so much from her. Her attitude and worldview were impressive, we all agreed this was the highlight experience of our trip.
Wonderful Couple experience

5.00Our class with Silvia was wonderful from beginning to end. We felt right at home with her as she shared her recipes and recommendations for wine, mascarapone cheese and was patient with us all. Her home is warm and inviting; I felt just like I was family. If Im ever in Lucca again I would most definitely book with her again!
Fantastic Time
