- Gnudi
- Tortelli mugellani potato
- Zuccotto tiramisù
You will prepare two types of pasta dishes, which my husband's grandmother, who was from Firenzuola, used to make.
Tortello mugellano, dates back to the 1400s, when Pulci, a poet in the court of Lorenzo the Magnificent, praised them, describing their perfect pairing with a glass of wine. "But above all of good wine I have faith, I believe that he who believes in it is saved. I believe in the pie and the tortello, the one is the mother and the other her son..." I'gnudi: name comes from a word in the Tuscan dialect and is used to refer to something "stripped" and the whole dish appropriates this name because it is the classic ravioli filling, but without its coating. Zuccotto with tiramisu: The Florentine zuccotto (helmet)that is filled with ice cream as Buontalenti did but with tiramisu..

- We enjoyed our time with you so much, Donatella! The pasta and tiramisu dishes you taught us were delicious and easy to make. Out of all the meals we had while visiting Italy, what we made with you was honestly the best we had. In fact, our experience was so good that we ordered a pasta maker even before we left Italy. Thank you for inviting us into your home to have a wonderful time and teaching us something we can enjoy for years to come.
- Donatella is a warm and welcoming person, and a great cook and teacher. We had a wonderful time making tiramisu and pasta. I wholeheartedly recommend booking an evening with Donatella.
- Donatella, was an amazing host as well as a fantastic chef. We had a great evening of food, wine and conversation. We were able to experience home cooking and cuisine that you can not find in the restaurants. Her home was a great break from the restaurant life. We highly recommend Donatella for a great local experience.
- Donatella was an amazing host! We have a large family with 4 kids between 13 and 3, and she made us feel so welcome in her home. When my 3 year old starting getting bored, she gave him tasks to do to keep him occupied. The class itself was so much fun. We loved the authenticity of learning in her home, and the final results were absolutely delicious. It was one of the highlights of our trip for sure and I highly recommend Donatella
- Donatella welcomed us into her home with open arms and showed us how to make various types of pasta. She was patient and kind. Definitely an experience to remember forever!
