Shared Experience
Your experience
Mixed bruschetta
Tagliatelle
Ravioli with ricotta and spinach (homemade pasta)
Tiramisu
Welcome to a typical Tuscan villa nestled in the green hills of Lucca, where we will welcome you in a large garden with gazebo, vegetable garden and olive grove, amidst scents of nature and authenticity. Our happy hens give us fresh eggs every day that we will use in the preparations. Love of cooking, hospitality and a family atmosphere will frame this authentic experience. We will cook together, discovering secrets and traditions, but most of all having fun. We will prepare together, step by step, bruschetta with fresh vegetables and extra virgin olive oil from our own production, tagliatelle with meat sauce according to the family recipe, ravioli with ricotta and spinach, and we will end with traditional tiramisu or, upon request, strawberry tiramisu.
We have had a wonderful time at Rosanna and Alberto! A very nice and homely atmosphere, where we had dinner in the beautiful garden after we learned to prepare the dinner ourselves! A true italian experience that I would recommend to everyone!

Rossana and her husband were lovely hosts. They welcomed us into their beautiful home and walked us her lasagna recipe. She gave us lots of helpful tips and afterwards sent us that recipes and several other others. While the lasagna was cooking, her husband showed us around there, olive trees and gave us a tour of their garden. We enjoyed the lasagna sitting at a beautiful table outside I highly reaching out to her for your cooking lesson while in Luca.

We could not have had a better time! Rosanna, Alberto, and Arctic are wonderful and we had the best night cooking with and learning from them. We cannot recommend her classes more!

My husband & I had the best time learning from Rossana. She is so knowledgeable & kind. She walked us through all the steps & made sure we knew what we were doing. Her recipes are fantastic! Her & her husband welcomed us so nicely into their home and we also got to meet their dog! We plan to make many of her recipes back at home. Their food, conversation & property were all incredible.

I 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.
