Shared Experience
Your experience
I will welcome you into my home, inside one of the oldest nurseries in Pistoia. In my kitchen I will teach you how to make egg pasta according to my family's tradition. You will be able to try kneading and rolling out the sheets with a rolling pin or with the small manual Imperia machine.
You will be able to choose from classic formats such as tagliatelle or farfalline or make garganelli (a type of macaroni from the Romagna tradition) or inganna-prit (a kind of mock cappelletti). You will be able to choose at the time whether to enjoy the pasta immediately topped with a Tuscan mascarpone and sausage sauce or take it home with you. The lesson and eventual consumption will be enhanced by a good local Tuscan red wine, printed recipes and numerous tips and anecdotes.

- Luisa was an amazing host and teacher! She made me feel so welcome and taught me how to make pasta, all while sharing tons of fascinating anecdotes. Her house was stunning and incredibly inspirational. I had such a wonderful time with her—highly recommend!
- I really enjoyed this class at Luisa’s lovely home. She was so sweet and accommodating to my daughter and I, offering a special fish dish since I do not eat meat. There was a special garlic and a goat cheese from the farm too that was delicious. Her directions to make simple homemade pasta was spot on and she even lit a candle with dessert to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. I would highly recommend this class.
- Luvi was such a gracious and welcoming host. I was the only one that evening and she made me feel at home as we chatted about the recipes and the history of each. It was like having dinner with a great friend, over wine and great conversation. I highly recommend Luvi, Cesarine, if you are ever in Florence, Pistoia area. I welcome the day that I return. Thank you Luvi 😊 💓
- Luisa was a wonderful instructor. We enjoyed our experience making many different types of pasta and then enjoying our creations that she prepared for us. She is very engaging, spoke very good English and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend the class!
- Wonderful evening with Louisa in her charming home. Louisa shared her family recipes with us as well as interesting facts about Pistoia. We really enjoyed the food and hospitality and would definitely recommend this experience.

Luisa
Cesarina from 2022Location: Pistoia Languages: Italian and English"I was born in Romagna, but now after more than 35 years in Pistoia my home is Tuscany. In the green, but a few kilometers from the station and the Piazza del Duomo. I have a creative and curious soul and in the kitchen, through the dishes of the Romagna and Tuscan tradition, I express at best my spirit of welcome. I love to make homemade pasta, bake bread, cook the classic desserts of the tradition."
