Surprise dessert

The red potato of Colfiorito is perfect for soft and tasty gnocchi. We start with an aperitif of local produce, an authentic taste of Umbria, before getting down to business to prepare gnocchi together with a seasonal sauce. A genuine culinary experience, immersed in nature. And to conclude, a sweet surprise made by me. I look forward to seeing you in my home in the countryside, surrounded by peace, to experience moments of taste and relaxation.

: An Unforgettable Evening with Claudia and Francesco — So Much More Than a Cooking Class! It’s hard to put into words just how exceptional our experience with Claudia and her husband, Francesco, was. From the moment they welcomed us into their beautiful home, we felt their warmth and gracious hospitality. By the end of the evening, we were gathered around a beautifully set table, surrounded by the most delicious food we had created with our own hands, feeling less like guests and more like family. And what a feast we created! From bruschetta and stuffed ravioli to traditional strangozzi alla spoletina (my new favorite pasta!) and tiramisu, we did it all. We made the dough, prepared the fillings, rolled and cut the pasta, and created the sauces. This was truly a hands-on experience, with Claudia patiently and expertly guiding us every step of the way. We left feeling confident that we could actually recreate these wonderful dishes at home! What made the food even more special was knowing where the ingredients came from. So much was locally grown or lovingly prepared by Claudia and her extended family. Tomatoes she preserves herself, figs from the family trees, eggs from her father’s farm. We enjoyed local salamis and cheeses, including an absolutely heavenly bite of cheese topped with Claudia’s homemade fig marmalade. All accompanied by wonderful Montefalco wine. The entire evening was a feast for the senses. The aromas filling the kitchen, the beauty of the table set with lovely china and glassware, the incredible flavors, and the pleasure of sharing it all together. We’ve enjoyed some fabulous restaurants throughout Spoleto and Florence, and I can genuinely say that the meal we prepared with Claudia rivaled any of them! I was also studying Italian in Spoleto, with only two weeks of lessons under my belt. Claudia and Francesco were so incredibly patient and encouraging as I practiced my Italian with them. Their English is excellent, so whether you speak Italian or not, you’ll feel completely comfortable. And Francesco took beautiful photographs throughout the experience and sent them to us right away, giving us wonderful keepsakes of an evening we’ll never forget. What stays with me most, beyond the extraordinary food, is the kindness and generosity of these two lovely people. They welcomed us into their home for several hours, shared their traditions and family stories, and made us feel like old friends. I truly feel I’ve made new friends in Spoleto. This experience was priceless. It reminded me how joyful and rewarding something as simple as preparing a meal together can be, especially when shared with wonderful people. Whether you’re an experienced cook or a complete beginner, don’t hesitate for a moment to book this experience. Claudia is a fantastic teacher, and she and Francesco are exceptional hosts. It was one of the highlights of our time in Italy, and a memory I’ll treasure for years to come!
: Our group had a wonderful experience in Claudia’s home with her husband Francesco. They were both a delight and treated us like family. First we shopped in the charming village of Spoleto for our ingredients which was informative and really fun. Then on to Claudia and Francesco’s home to cook a delicious white ragu with Pappardelle pasta. It was very fun making the pasta as I have never done that before. We also had a delicious antipasto plate of local sausage and two different types of bruschetta. It was all fabulous and made even better by the charming hosts Claudia and Francesco. I would definitely recommend and visit again! Oh and Mamas cake and coffee was the perfect ending to our meal.
: Claudia and Francesco were the prefect hosts for our shopping in Spoleto for the coming class in their home. We learned a lot about the cooking, loved making pasta for the first time and the meal was delicious! The best part was visiting with them and learning about their lives and sharing ours!
: My wife and I attended an Umbrian cooking class with Claudia at her lovely home. Her charming husband Francesco was also present. It was a wonderful day in the company of two very kind and engaging people. They opened up their home and kitchen to us and treated us like family. Claudia talked us through the ingredients and technique behind making strangozzi, an archetypal Umbrian pasta. We had some cold cuts and cheese to start which we bought at a local market in the morning, and some delicious montefalco wine. It was an exceptional experience from start to finish and we would wholeheartedly recommend. Thanks Claudia and Francesco - we will be back!
: We had the most amazing experience with Claudia and Francesco. They opened their home and their love of all things Italian and food to us. We felt honored by their sharing of so many things The experience of strolling in Spoleto shopping for the ingredients was wonderful and thoughtful. We need a cafe and nothing was a a problem. The cooking experience followed by dining was amazing. Claudia made everything seem so simple - and everything was delicious. Would we come back - in a minute - will we recommend - absolutely. Thank you Claudia and Francesco - we loved every minute of it.
