Shared Experience
Your experience
Under my expert and constant guidance, you will have the opportunity to uncover the secrets of the rich Tuscan culinary tradition. We will start by preparing the black crostini, typical of our region, then we'll dedicate ourselves to the art of hand-rolling the famous Tuscan Pici. These will be topped with white ragù, a sauce that dates back to ancient times, before the discovery of America, when tomatoes were not yet part of our cuisine! Finally, we'll focus on the dessert: a delicious apple-based treat typical of Valdichiana, enriched with delicate handmade vanilla ice cream.

- From the moment we arrived, Anna and Stefano welcomed us into their beautiful Tuscan home with such warmth that we instantly felt like part of the family. The setting itself was a beautifully restored period house in the countryside, but it was the genuine kindness of Anna and her husband that truly made the experience unforgettable. Anna patiently guided us through making two different types of pasta and tiramisu, explaining each step in a way that felt approachable and fun, no matter your skill level. After preparing the dough and dessert, we were treated to an appetizer of local traditional meats and the most delicious and beautiful focaccia bread—almost too beautiful to eat. It looked like a piece of art, and tasted AMAZING! What made this experience so special was how it felt less like a formal cooking class and more like an evening spent cooking together with family. The laughter, conversation, and shared love of food created such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. It was one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it’s over. If you’re in Tuscany, this is something you absolutely shouldn’t miss.
- If I could leave 10 stars and more I would! When asked for allergies, I said I was gluten free. Anna then prepared the entire, most incredible dinner, gluten free! It was such a joy for me to have amazing Italian food that I could eat and not only that, have it be the most amazing dinner you could imagine. Stefano erased our problem of returning to the top of our hill town in the dark and not only that, made the entire trip a very engaging conversation. Their home is gorgeous, they are a beautiful couple, and it was the best evening in Italy we have had and this is our fourth trip here. What more can I say, you are missing an incredible experience if you don’t have one of Anna’s dinners!
- We had such a wonderful experience at Anna and Stefano’s home. They were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived, and Anna was especially patient and helpful while teaching us how to cook each dish. Everything was delicious—the food, the wine, and the company made it unforgettable. Their home is beautiful, and the entire experience truly makes you feel immersed in the full Italian lifestyle. You couldn’t ask for more!
- My husband and I recently took a cooking class with Anna and Stefano at their home in Montepulciano. It was hands on and delicious food but also they welcome you into their home as though you were friends. It was an altogether lovely time that I highly recommend. Great people and great food!
- Anna and her husband Stefano provided an exceptional experience for my partner and I. It wasn't just about cooking, they invited us into their Tuscan home and shared a meal like family. It was lovely to meet them and get insight into their culture. The recipes were delicious and they went above and beyond to make the experience a memorable one. Thanks again Anna and Stefano.
