Join me at my home, with a spacious garden, shaded gazebo, and nearby olive grove—the perfect setting for an authentic Italian experience full of flavor and tradition. Together, we’ll prepare each recipe step by step, and I’ll provide written instructions so you can recreate them at home. We’ll start with a classic Italian appetizer: bruschetta topped with seasonal vegetables from my garden and our own extra-virgin olive oil, served with spreads on homemade bread. Next, we’ll make fresh egg tagliatelle with my family’s traditional meat ragù, followed by chicken scaloppine with mushrooms or lemon. We’ll finish with the timeless classic tiramisù or, if you prefer, a delicious amaretto variation.

- An Unforgettable Evening with Rossana and Alberto! If I could give this experience more than five stars, I absolutely would! My friend Laurie and I spent the most wonderful evening with Rossana and her husband Alberto in their beautiful home near Lucca. From the moment Alberto picked us up at our hotel, we felt genuinely welcomed. Rossana patiently taught us how to make fresh pasta dough, spinach and cheese ravioli, tagliatelle, her family’s traditional ragù, and tiramisu. Throughout the class, Alberto helped keep everything organized and made us feel completely at home. One of the unexpected highlights was a walk around their lovely property, where Alberto showed us their 40 olive trees, which produce enough olive oil for two families for an entire year! After cooking, we enjoyed an incredible meal served on their beautiful covered patio. From the delicious bruschetta and unique peach crostini to our handmade ravioli with butter and sage, tagliatelle with rich homemade ragù, and tiramisu, every bite was wonderful. But what truly made this experience extraordinary was Rossana and Alberto themselves. Their kindness, hospitality, warmth, and wonderful conversation made the evening feel less like a cooking class and more like dinner with new friends. We shared stories, learned about their lives and traditions, and laughed throughout the evening. Rossana even offered to share her family recipes and answer any questions as we continue our Italian cooking adventures at home. Of all the wonderful experiences we’ve had in Italy, this evening will always hold a special place in our hearts. We came hoping to learn authentic Italian cooking and left with beautiful memories and the feeling that we’d made two new friends. Grazie mille, Rossana e Alberto! We cannot recommend this experience highly enough!
- What an amazing dinner we had with Rosanna and her family! Such amazing food, great history and lots of learning and laughs! Thanks for having us in your wonderful home!
- We had an amazing time with Rosanna and her husband! They had the best hospitality and were so welcoming into their home. They treated us like family and taught us amazing recipes. We weren’t the best chefs but they walked us through every step of the way. We can’t recommend Rosanna enough as this was one of the best parts of our trip!
- Rosanna was a delight and welcoming! We had the best time with her and Alberto and highly recommend! The cooking class was a great experience but the knowledge and conversation with the two of them was priceless!
- Cooking with Rosanna was an incredible experience! We learned so much and enjoyed the process. The lasagna we made was delicious. She and her husband are very friendly! We are looking forward to another one of Rossana’s classes soon.

Cesarina from 2024Location: Lucca (LU) Languages: Italian and EnglishI prefer simple dishes made with just a few wholesome, seasonal ingredients, often harvested directly from my own vegetable garden and orchard. I love to enhance the authentic flavors of the land using extra virgin olive oil that we produce ourselves. My cooking is rooted in traditional Tuscan cuisine, but I also enjoy experimenting: I create original recipes that I carefully jot down in my personal recipe book, built over time with love and passion.
