- Entrare in casa di Lucia è come andare a trovare una amica di lunga data che non vedi da anni, ma che subito ti ricorda il calore di un'amicizia vera. Piatti semplici della tradizione con ingredienti di altissima qualità: la perfezione della cucina tradizionale italiana. La passione di Lucia e il legame con la tradizione rendono i suoi piatti unici. Entering Lucia's is like visiting a long-time friend you haven't seen for years, but who immediately reminds you of the warmth of a true friendship. Simple traditional dishes with the highest quality ingredients: the perfection of traditional Italian cuisine. Lucia's passion and connection to tradition make her dishes unique.
- Thank you to Lucia and family for inviting us into your home. You made it so fun and easy to make pasta! Next class we want to learn how to make that delicious tomato sauce. Highly recommend this experience!
- Lucia was the perfect host. To be able to make pasta with a native Italian and converse and break the language barrier was so fun- both of us learned as we tried to look up new words being said or words of foods/cooking terms that did not translate easily. Lucia welcomed me into her home and had me try wines, appetizers, antipasti, and the pasta we learned to make before eating the tiramisu we also made. I had such a great time and tried new foods I had not even seen while in Lecce for two days. I have taken pasta classes before and I still learned pasta tricks based on local methods, and more so, the conversation between people of a different area was by far the biggest reward. Thanks Lucia (and Paolo)! This was a fantastic way to end my trip to Lecce. Thank you very much.
- Vacanza in Salento, nella quale abbiamo scelto di conoscere il territorio da vicino. Lucia e Paolo hanno accolto la nostra famiglia permettendo concretamente anche ai bambini, 3enne incluso, di sperimentare le preparazioni locali. Pur arrivando da zone ad alta intensità di pastificazione, ogni luogo è diverso e porta con sé scelte e racconti del proprio dove e del proprio tempo, stimolando curiosità, confronto e nuove conoscenze. Grazie dei tempi e dei modi dedicati, alla prossima!
- In short: we had a great evening with 2 excellent and sweet hosts, with amazing food. By far the best tiramisu we've had in a very long time! What made it extra special is that we were invited into the home of one of the hostess, which gave it an extra dose of Italian atmosphere. We learned a million different types of pasta, we made a bunch of them, and we were left wanting for more! And it was not just the pasta. Of course there was a lot of fresh cheese and other types of delicious food. And an extra compliment: just the day before the chef got word of our dietary wishes and she fully accommodated for it. 5 stars for the complete package: thank you again!

Lucia
Cesarina from 2024Location: Lecce Languages: Italian and English"You always cook thinking of someone, otherwise you're just preparing food" What I love most is passing down the traditions of my region through culinary art, that is, everything that has been passed down to me by my grandmothers since I was a child. A journey that goes from homemade pasta, to traditional pittule, to the typical sweets of my land.
