    I am Monica, a passionate cook who has always loved preparing delicious meals, even for large groups of people.

    To start, we will prepare an appetizer with fried pizza and sage, paired with Prosecco. Then we will move on to fried squash blossoms, vegetables such as zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, onions, and fried polenta with seasonal sauces. We will prepare fresh pasta, bigoli, with 00 flour, accompanied by our homemade sauce. For dessert we will make "Fried Buccellato," a typical local dessert, or Tiramisu upon request. We will pair the dishes with Prosecco or red wine, your choice. We will taste dishes prepared in the garden, season permitting. Join me for an unforgettable dining experience!

    Our afternoon with Monica was wonderful! It was not only authentic and educational but Monica made us feel like family! She took the time to make sure we understood the techniques and we rested with good food, good company and good wine in between! Paolo, Monica’s husband was wonderful as well. He worked hard behind the scene to make this a memorable experience!

    Must take Monica's Lucca Cooking Class! Monica’s cooking class is a MUST have experience. She is patient, kind and is so knowledgeable about authentic Italian cooking. She taught our group so much about all of the products we used to cook with and how to cook with your senses. We were treated like family and she took the time to explain and answer all questions. Monica cooks from her heart and has a passion to teach others. It was lovely to sit on her outside table and cook in her outdoor kitchen. It was a beautiful yard space and cooking set up. We will be recommending her to any friends or family visiting Lucca. She is the absolute BEST!

    Monica was a delight. She welcomed us into her home and we had a wonderful learning, cooking, and eating experience. She shared her love of food and cooking with us in a friendly, enjoyable way. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    It was truly a pleasure spending the day with Monica and her husband. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our pasta making and enjoyed the foods Monica prepared. She was such a delight! I would highly recommend this activity! The only negative I have was that there was no Market tour, which is how it was advertised with "Get Your Guide", but that was no fault of Monica's. She was simply the best!

    Monica and her husband were exceptional! They were warm welcoming and so wonderful! They asked what we wanted to make and were good at managing expectations due to time. They were so generous and knowledgeable and kind. It was a truly magical experience for my family. The children loved it! Thank you so much for a special memory and evening!!!
