Imagine a charming villa surrounded by olive trees and the scents of fresh herbs, with a shaded garden and an organic vegetable patch that provides seasonal produce every day. More than a cooking class, this is an experience to share: recipes, stories, and laughter in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a beginner or a passionate home cook, you’ll return home with new skills, authentic Italian recipes, and unforgettable memories. Our menu includes durum wheat pasta with seasonal vegetables, fresh egg tagliatelle with meat ragù (a traditional family recipe, also available in a vegetarian version), ricotta and spinach ravioli, and to finish, the classic tiramisù or a variation of your choice.

- We attended a pasta and tiramisu–making class with Rossana along with our 6‑year‑old daughter, and it ended up being one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Rossana and her husband welcomed us with such genuine warmth that it felt like we were spending the afternoon with friends or family. They were wonderfully patient and engaging with our daughter, making the class fun and accessible for all of us. Rossana was well prepared, the kitchen and prep area were spotless, and the ingredients were high quality, including some organic items. Cooking traditional dishes in a real Italian home—and then enjoying the meal together at a family table—made the experience feel truly authentic and special. If you’re looking for a meaningful, home‑cooked Italian experience, this is an excellent choice. We highly recommend these classes, and especially Rossana.
- Two kind and lovely people. We absolutely didn't expect such an experience. They were fantastic, they made us feel like family, the food was as great as the company. I will definitely return! And now I can say I have two more friends, we miss you so much! We await you in Reggio.
- Rossana was such an amazing host and teacher! I went with my friend and we had such a fun time cooking with her and she was so accommodating and even gave us extra recipes to take home with us. She could not have been more welcoming and she had such a beautiful property (and most importantly the food was amazing!) Would definitely recommend to others!!
- A very pleasant experience spent with my 7-year-old daughter. We prepared everything together, from appetizer to dessert, and then had lunch together enjoying what we had prepared. My daughter was truly enthusiastic, a highly recommended experience!
- Lovely hosts! Instantly felt like I was part of the family. 🥰. Amazing food and drinks and it was fun making the Tiramisu and the pasta from scratch! Thank you Rossana and Alberto for making me feel welcome. ❤️ if your ever in London let me know!

Rossana
Cesarina from 2024Location: Lucca (LU) Languages: Italian and EnglishI prefer simple dishes made with just a few wholesome, seasonal ingredients, often harvested directly from my own vegetable garden and orchard. I love to enhance the authentic flavors of the land using extra virgin olive oil that we produce ourselves. My cooking is rooted in traditional Tuscan cuisine, but I also enjoy experimenting: I create original recipes that I carefully jot down in my personal recipe book, built over time with love and passion.
