Shared Experience
Your experience
For this cookery class, I am delighted to open the doors of my home to cook together, focusing on traditional Tuscan cuisine. I’ll guide you, step by step, through the preparation of a full three-course menu: we’ll start with a starter of fragrant, aromatic Tuscan focaccia; we’ll continue with a first course of fresh ravioli with meat sauce; and we’ll finish on a sweet note with a delicious dessert.
I look forward to welcoming you to my penthouse flat with a view of the lighthouse to cook and raise a glass together to the beauty of the city of Livorno. Note for cruise passengers: the venue is located just minutes away from Livorno Cruise Port. At the end of the class, you’ll receive a fun, personalised ‘Master of Italian Pasta’ certificate!

- We truly enjoyed our afternoon spent with Luciana and Francesco! They opened their house (and their hearts ) to us…. They could not have been more gracious! They prepared for our arrival and had the table set beautifully and had prepared fresh bread and vegetables in anticipation of our arrival. We were given hands-on instructions on how to make ravioli and then sat down with them to enjoy it and chat. The lunch ended with a delicious desert prepared by Luciano and a local after dinner drink served by Francisco. We couldn’t have had a nicer day! ❤️
- Our time with Francesco and Luciana was, without question, the highlight of our stay in Livorno. Rather than attending a “cooking class@, it was a few hours of quality time, a couple who were kind enough to invite us into their home and spend time getting to know each other, over antipasti and wine. What’s not to like? The food was great, the Chianti, the laurel liqueur, perfect. Oh, I forgot to mention the ravioli class. Wow, Luciana knows her pasta.. From the spinach and turmeric infused dough, thinning, cutting, stuffing, simmering and eating it with fresh pomodoro sauce! Magnifico. A “class” well worth our time-and as is true with travel, it’s the people you come across that makes it memorable. Highly recommended!
- We were welcomed into Luciana and Francesco's home and treated like family. We learned to make homemade ravioli and had a lovely lunch with appetizers, and homemade dessert. A true treasure of Livorno. Highly recommend.
- Luciana and Francesco were the birthday gift from our children. Thinking we were going to lunch, to our surprise, we found ourselves immersed in a cooking experience. Under Luciana’s very precise guidance and Francesco’s constant help, in a perfectly equipped environment, we spent an unforgettable day savoring many local flavors… and we cooked some ourselves!!! What a wonderful birthday!!!

Cesarina from 2025Location: Leghorn (LI) Languages: Italian, English, FrenchMy vocation as a Naturopath is reflected in a healthy cuisine, based on artisanal and locally sourced ingredients, carefully selected from small farms. Born in Rome, I have blended the flavors of the Tuscan and Roman traditions, creating authentic, seasonal dishes rich in color and research. A special role is given to doughs, especially shortcrust pastry, which I reinterpret in both sweet and savory versions, bringing to life unique creations that are also at the heart of my cooking classes. Desserts and tarts are, for me, a true field of creative freedom: from the crust to the filling and the decorations, every detail becomes a personal expression and a source of satisfaction.
