- Rossana and Alberto were wonderful hosts and Rossana is a good teacher and cook. She showed us how to make a ravioli and tiramisu. We visited the olive grove and enjoyed their dogs antics. The experience was a highlight of our trip. I would recommend taking the class.
- Rossana was an amazing teacher and hostess, as well as her husband who helped tremendously throughout the cooking lesson. They were such a cute, sweet couple, and have a lovely home! Very warm and welcoming personalities, I felt like we were with longtime friends or family members while enjoying our meal and chatting. The cooking lesson was superb, easy to learn, the food came out absolutely delicious, and she already sent us the recipes of everything we made. Rossana also sends recipes periodically to you afterwards and is just a gem of a human. I loved meeting both of them and we had the perfect afternoon over good food and wine. They helped us learn so much about the region, culture, etc. Highly recommend! The experience was so authentic, loved doing this in a small setting in someone’s home. 10/10!!! 5 star service!
- 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!!

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.
