Your experience
In welcoming you to my town and my home, I am happy to give you a taste of local produce grown by my family. We will begin with delicious bruschetta topped with cream of fava beans and crispy guanciale, chicory and ciauscolo, accompanied by a pesto of black celery from Trevi. Next, we will delight you with polenta accompanied by a tasty sausage sauce, enriched with pork fat and lean. Finally, to end on a sweet note, we will taste delicious musty doughnuts.

- I can't say enough wonderful things about our cooking experience with Claudia! From the moment we stepped into her home, we felt warmly welcomed as we embarked on an unforgettable culinary journey through Umbrian cuisine. We began by preparing Lentils with Sausages, and as that simmered, we learned how to make homemade Strengozzi pasta with a delicious truffle sauce. While the pasta dried, we crafted a delightful Tiramisu for dessert. Next up were the appetizers—bruschetta topped with ricotta, sun-dried tomatoes, and sausage. Every step of the way, Claudia guided us with such grace and clarity, ensuring that my mom, my son, and I all had hands-on involvement in creating these delicious dishes. The food was simply outstanding! Claudia’s husband, Francesco, captured the entire experience with photos, giving us cherished memories to take home. After cooking, we sat together at their table to enjoy wine, cheese, salami, and Claudia's incredible homemade fig jam, along with the bruschetta we had prepared. The meal continued with the main course, followed by Tiramisu and coffee—a perfect ending to a wonderful evening. Claudia and Francesco were incredibly warm and easy to talk to. It truly felt like we were sharing dinner with family. I highly recommend this cooking class with Claudia; it’s an experience you won’t want to miss. And to top it off, Claudia gave us each a jar of her homemade fig jam as a thoughtful gift!
- We had a fabulous time with Claudia and her husband. We were warmly welcomed in to their home and we prepared and ate a delicious meal. Claudia was expert at showing us how to prepare everything and we came away wanting to replicate what we ate when we get home. Aside from the great food, we had great fun chatting with Claudia about all things Italian and English. Highly recommend this experience!
- I have waited a few days to do this review..because I am honestly lost for words! It was the most amazing highlight of my trip to Italy. Claudia and Francesco..opened their home and their hearts to me. Learning to make Italian food in their home has not only opened the door for my own cooking but has given me a true glimpse of the Italian Culture and love. I highly recommend that you book this beautiful family for a night you will never forget! My introduction to Italian cooking has begun and Claudia and Francesco are the real deal. I know that along the way I can ask her questions and she will continue to guide my culinary goals! 5 stars is not enough to review this family business....they are above and beyond in every category possible. Book now! You will not be disappointed!
- What a wonderful expérience. Thank you Claudia and Francesco for your hospitality! The meal was phenomenal! Grazie
- Claudia and Francesco are wonderful hosts and welcomed us in their home like one of their own. The meal Claudia prepared for us was delightful, flavorful and clearly a true labor of love. She takes such pride in sharing her traditions, her savoir-faire and her land with her guests, it's truly humbling. From the bruschetta, to the salumi, cheese, tartufo omelette, polenta with tomato sauce to the sweets and bergamot digestif, we were all absolutely delighted. We had a wonderful evening, one we will remember for a very long time. Grazie mille Claudia e Francesco e ti auguriamo buona fortuna per i tuoi progetti.

Cesarina from 2018Location: Spoleto Languages: Italian and English"I have always loved my territory and its products. My father cultivated the land and raised animals, so in my family we have always been used to eating excellent quality products and km 0. From the moment I got married, I continued the family tradition re-proposing the typical dishes that my father used to prepare for us and my guests are always happy when they are invited for lunch or dinner."
