Your experience
- Bruschetta with seasonal vegetables
- Tagliatelle with ragu sauce
- Chicken cutlets with mushrooms or lemon sauce
- Tiramisu
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.

- We learned to make pasta/meat sauce, several Italian dips and tiramisu in a friendly and homey environment at Rosanna's. It was delicious and the four of us felt extremely welcome. She was very knowledgeable about how not to cross contaminate my gluten free needs and I appreciated the extra work she had to do...thank you, Rosanna. It was a wonderful evening and I would heartily recommend her class to visitors!!!
- The experience was fantastic. The pasta and sauces we made were great and the hospitality wonderful. I highly recommend her.
- If you have a free half day in Lucca and you love Italian cuisine, I highly recommend taking a cooking class from Rossana. Her class is not only about Italian cooking but also about life in Lucca. The class takes place on her wonderful property amongst olive trees and beautifully manicured plantings. Rosanna is often assisted by her husband Alberto, who is both charming and entertaining. We prepared four dishes during the four hour class, and then sat down to enjoy what we had created. This class was a highlight of our visit to Italy; I highly recommend. The best part, after the class Rosanna provides the recipes in writing for you to enjoy at home. Wonderful experience!
- Rossana was a joy. Not only a fabulous cook, but a kind and patient teacher. We learned a lot and are excited to try what we learned. She and her husband helped make a lifelong memory for my family.
- Rossana and her husband were wonderful! We loved our experience learning to cook Italian food in their family home. The food was delicious and Rossana is an amazing teacher. We brought our baby with us and they were so accommodating and loving with our sweet boy! This was a highlight of our trip and I’d recommend to anyone!

Where
Rossana
Cesarina from 2024Location: Lucca 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.
