Shared Experience
Your experience
- Stuffed pasta on the grill
- Pici (homemade noodles) with a sauce of fried breadcrumbs and Pecorino
- Zuppa Inglese
I invite you to my quintessential Tuscan home where we'll explore three dishes steeped in our local tradition. We'll combine flour, water, and salt to create "pici", a pasta we will shape and season with breadcrumbs or unique local garlic. Another specialty is the "tortelli alla lastra", hailing from the mountains, this stuffed pasta, filled with potatoes or vegetables, was traditionally cooked on stones. Our culinary journey will culminate with zuppa inglese, a dessert reminiscent of tiramisù but distinctly Tuscan, a Sunday staple by my grandmother.
We'll use fresh, local produce either from my garden or nearby market. To complement our meal, we'll enjoy Chianti wine produced on the hills of Arezzo. And if weather permits, we could relish our gastronomical adventure in my spacious garden.

Cesarina from 2023Location: Arezzo Languages: Italian, English, SpanishI live in a farmhouse in the countryside around Arezzo, just 10 minutes from the beautiful historic center. My family and I run a small organic farm: we mainly produce olive oil and hazelnuts, but we also have a garden that provides us with seasonal vegetables at zero kilometers, while my grandfather raises farm animals, rabbits, chickens, and hens, which always give us fresh eggs. I've always been connected to the traditions of my land: my grandparents passed on to me the secrets of Aretine cuisine, which I then deepened on my own, both from old recipe books and by going around the valleys of the province. The cuisine I offer is what my grandparents enjoyed as children in these countryside: a peasant cuisine that uses simple but genuine raw materials, combined with the imagination and inventiveness transmitted for centuries in Aretine kitchens. The dishes I propose vary for each season of the year: depending on what the earth offers. In summer, fruit and vegetables reign in the kitchen: tomato, onion, and basil are essential ingredients, along with bread, the most popular dishes are panzanella and pappa al pomodoro. Summer was also a time of celebration during the wheat harvest: large lunches were prepared with poultry, geese, ducks, chickens, and rabbits, whose sauce enriched hand-pulled egg pasta, which here takes the name of pappardella or maccherone. I enjoy making hand-pulled pasta and am ready to share my methods and recipes with my guests.
