Food Tour: discover the best places where to taste the finest local food & wine

Shared Experience
Your experience

    Join me as we delve into the beating heart of the city by visiting its bustling market – one of the most beautiful in Europe – a riot of aromas and colours, the perfect place to carefully select the finest fresh seasonal produce, including Livorno’s famous fresh eggs and high-quality flours, the stars of our signature dish: homemade ravioli.

    We’ll then head to a spectacular penthouse just a stone’s throw from the harbour, overlooking the Livorno lighthouse – the perfect setting for an interactive and dynamic cookery class. Here, we’ll reveal traditional secrets and techniques as we prepare the pasta dough and ravioli filling, alongside other typical recipes, making the most of the comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces.

    We truly enjoyed our afternoon spent with Luciana and Francesco! They opened their house (and their hearts ) to us…. They could not have been more gracious! They prepared for our arrival and had the table set beautifully and had prepared fresh bread and vegetables in anticipation of our arrival. We were given hands-on instructions on how to make ravioli and then sat down with them to enjoy it and chat. The lunch ended with a delicious desert prepared by Luciano and a local after dinner drink served by Francisco. We couldn’t have had a nicer day! ❤️

    Our time with Francesco and Luciana was, without question, the highlight of our stay in Livorno. Rather than attending a “cooking class@, it was a few hours of quality time, a couple who were kind enough to invite us into their home and spend time getting to know each other, over antipasti and wine. What’s not to like? The food was great, the Chianti, the laurel liqueur, perfect. Oh, I forgot to mention the ravioli class. Wow, Luciana knows her pasta.. From the spinach and turmeric infused dough, thinning, cutting, stuffing, simmering and eating it with fresh pomodoro sauce! Magnifico. A “class” well worth our time-and as is true with travel, it’s the people you come across that makes it memorable. Highly recommended!

    We were welcomed into Luciana and Francesco's home and treated like family. We learned to make homemade ravioli and had a lovely lunch with appetizers, and homemade dessert. A true treasure of Livorno. Highly recommend.

    Luciana and Francesco were the birthday gift from our children. Thinking we were going to lunch, to our surprise, we found ourselves immersed in a cooking experience. Under Luciana’s very precise guidance and Francesco’s constant help, in a perfectly equipped environment, we spent an unforgettable day savoring many local flavors… and we cooked some ourselves!!! What a wonderful birthday!!!

    My vocation as a Naturopath is reflected in a healthy cuisine, based on artisanal and locally sourced ingredients, carefully selected from small farms. Born in Rome, I have blended the flavors of the Tuscan and Roman traditions, creating authentic, seasonal dishes rich in color and research. A special role is given to doughs, especially shortcrust pastry, which I reinterpret in both sweet and savory versions, bringing to life unique creations that are also at the heart of my cooking classes. Desserts and tarts are, for me, a true field of creative freedom: from the crust to the filling and the decorations, every detail becomes a personal expression and a source of satisfaction.
