Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Rivotiche (thin crepes made with water and flour)

In the heart of the Abruzzo hills, between sea and mountains, November marks the beginning of the olive harvest and the first pressing of extra virgin olive oil. During this special time, housewives prepare the traditional "rivotiche," a simple and tasty recipe made with water, flour and new oil. The batter sizzles in the pan, releasing authentic scents. As soon as they are ready, the rivotiche are stuffed with typical local cured meats and served hot, rolled and accompanied by a glass of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. A taste experience that tells the soul of Abruzzo cuisine.

The experience at Stefania's was amazing! We had a lot of fun while cooking and talking and enjoyed the awesome hospitality of Stefania and her husband. The food was absolutely great and the organisation perfect. We loved to be in their elegant house, in their spacious kitchen, which combines modernity and tradition and we learned so many interesting facts about their history, culture, traditions. We highly admire both of them and we are honored to have been for a while with them. 5 stars from all points of view. A big hug from us all. 😀

Excellent experience. Unique and from the heart. We had great fun and learned a lot of new things. Stefania and her husband shared with us heartily a part of Italy. Their elegant house, wonderful story and great hospitality are top class. We arrived as tourists and departed as friends. A big hug from all 6 of us!

Absolutely fabulous evening with Stefania! She was very welcoming. Food was exceptional and we learned how to make pasta! She even got my husband excited about cooking. Great appetizers and a wonderful dinner with her and her husband. We are thankful that she shared her talents and recipes with us and opened her beautiful home to us. This experience highly exceeded our expectations

Stefania and her husband are very kind and warm people. She knows what she is doing in the kitchen. She gave us very good tips and tricks for cooking these delicious foods! Thank you for this experience and the recipes 😍

We (mother & daughter) were looking for a real Italian cooking class and Stefania was the most amazing host and chef! She knows everything about cooking and she shares all her knowledge with you. Her English is good, and a translating app helps for the more difficult words. Even before we arrived she contacted us for our wishes and made sure everything was beautifully prepared. We enjoyed our own cooking in the garden, and her husband Marcello joined us. We had such nice conversations about everything and we felt so welcome in their home. We would recommend everyone that visits the Abruzzen to also visit Stefania, you will experience an amazing cooking class and you will leave inspired! Janneke & Irene

Cesarina from 2023Location: Montesilvano (PE)    Languages: Italian, English, French
My cuisine reflects regional traditions and features original recipes passed down from my skilled mother. From homemade pasta to pizzas, focaccias, bread, and various desserts, my repertoire is diverse. I've taken bread-making courses with a keen focus on different flours and their strength. I consider myself proficient in first courses, and I enjoy creating convivial moments enriched by an excellent selection of wines from my cellar!
