Your experience
- Ricotta and spinach ravioli
- Maltagliati
- Tiramisu
In the historic center in a very bright house with a view of Lucca's magnificent towers, we prepare together two different formats of fresh homemade pasta from eggs and flour: ravioli filled with cow ricotta and spinach, flavored with nutmeg, and maltagliati.
With a rolling pin we will roll out the dough for "maltagliati" seasoned with an excellent Tuscan meat sauce or alternatively with a fresh tomato sauce. To conclude, we will prepare a typical and creamy Italian dessert: coffee tiramisu.
I look forward to seeing you!

- I took the cooking class with a friend and it was an absolute blast! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We ended up laughing our way through the entire session :) Novella and Marco made everything fun and approachable. The food also turned out amazing. We were genuinely impressed with what we managed to create and the tips we picked up will definitely stick with us. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a memorable, delicious and laughter-filled experience!✨
- Novella welcomed us into her home like we were old friends! She had so many things ready and prepared for us, even had a helper/assistant,Marco!! We made a delicious tiramisu step-by-step with her. And prepared a spinach and cheese filling for our ravioli. she explained everything perfectly step-by-step. Everything was truly delicious… and was warm and welcoming!! I highly recommend her anytime!!
- We had a fun time with Novella at the cooking class. Was very interesting and we felt quite welcoming 😊
- Wow! What a delightful experience that Novella and Marco provided for us exploring the parts of the town they like to shop at. Absolute gems for fresh produce and other food related products. Then home to Novella's for an authentic cooking experience which was not only fun but also insightful. We learned to make the best pasta. So soft and melt in your mouth. Using one of Novella's recipes she so generously sent us we have just made the best pasta we have ever made at home. (And we have made a lot of pasta from scratch over the years) We highly recommend a cooking class experience with Novella and Marco. We met as strangers and left as friends.
- Novella and Marco were a great team!

Novella
Cesarina from 2022Location: Lucca (LU) Languages: Italian, English, FrenchI was born in Bologna but my roots are here in Tuscany, including in cuisine. From the Lucca cuisine, I love to prepare tordelli with ragù and various soups, from frantoiana to ribollita to pappa al pomodoro, all seasoned with the excellent oil from our hills. The appetizer is always rustic, with excellent unsalted "sciocco" bread bruschetta and Colonnata lard, Igp Sorana beans, black cabbage, and the inevitable chicken livers. To finish sweetly, almond cantucci and grandmother's cream cake.
