Private Experience
Your experience
- Aperitif with local products and prosecco at the atelier
- Fresh pasta made with durum wheat flour and spelled flour with homemade seasonal sauces
- Fried buccellato, a sweet from our tradition or tiramisu on request
The atelier visit showcases a collection of exclusive and artisanal objects made with paper and reclaimed materials, combining illustrations, unpublished poems, and unique, special messages related to food culture. The experience includes a carefully designed table setting (placemats, coasters, table decorations, and bottles). Each participant will receive a special card, hand-illustrated and calligraphed with the guest's name.
Upon returning home, we'll continue with another surprise seasonal appetizer (bruschetta, fried dough, marinated olives). We'll then prepare homemade pasta with two different organic flours, topped with homemade seasonal sauces. Following that, we'll taste the fried buccellato, a typical dessert from Lucca or, upon request, tiramisu, accompanied by prosecco.

- Monica was a wonderful host and teacher! She was very informative and funny, making us feel very welcome into her home. Monica was always checking in with us to make sure everything was good within the experience. All of the food was so good and we greatly appreciated being able to share our creation with our family. I would absolutely recommend this experience with Monica!
- It was wonderful! We were so fortunate to have a wonderful cooking teacher, Monika! We learned a lot and are already looking forward to trying the recipes at home ourselves! It was simply brilliant! And we recommend it to everyone who is still hesitant! Go to Monica, you will be thrilled! Cooking in a truly Italian atmosphere! Simply great!
- Monica was a last minute switch for us as our original chef became sick the day before our class. We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher and guide to Italian cuisine. We took this class while on our honeymoon, and it was one of our favorite experiences during our three weeks in Italy. She and her husband were both incredibly warm and inviting, and made us feel like part of their family. We felt that we got much more than just a cooking class, but also an introduction and welcome into Italian culture. We will absolutely be returning when we come back to Italy.
- I am the travel advisor who booked Gayle and her sisters’ cooking class. I have just heard from Gayle, and she raved about the wonderful experience you provided for them. Thank you so much for all of your efforts!
- Monica and her husband welcomed us in her home and had a lovely family dinner with us. We made two fresh pastas that were delicious. Besides the pasta, they had prepared different food for us to taste. Unfortunately we did not make tiramisu but overall it was a great experience!
