Private Experience
Your experience
You will be welcomed into the farmhouse with garden, inside one of the oldest plant nurseries si Pistoia.
The menu will celebrate the richness of traditional Romagna country dishes while having some Tuscan contaminations present in some ingredients but especially in the wines. If the weather permits you can also eat in the garden. You will enjoy piadine, stuffed cassoni, and freshly made fried pizzas with a selection of Tuscan cold cuts, pecorino cheese, and fresh cheese. You'll continue with garganelli, a homemade egg pasta shaped like penne, topped with peas, prosciutto, and shallots. Then arista pig meat with milk and sage accompanied by pan-fried tomatoes au gratin. To finish, zuppa inglese, a dessert of two-tone cream, ladyfingers and red liqueur.

- What an unforgettable experience! Our food-making lunch with Luisa in Pistoia was truly the highlight of our trip to Italy. From the moment we stepped into Luisa's warm and inviting home, we felt like part of the family. Luisa's passion for Italian cuisine shone through as she guided us through the art of pasta making, sharing fascinating insights into the history and culture of each dish. It was educational and so much fun. Even our 8-year-old daughter had a blast, getting hands-on with the dough and proudly creating her own pasta. Luisa's patience and enthusiasm made everyone feel comfortable and engaged. The food we prepared together was absolutely delicious, and we left with full hearts and full bellies. If you're looking for an authentic, enriching culinary experience in Pistoia, this is it! Highly recommended.
- My 12-year old daughter and I had an amazing time with Louisa! It was fun to learn old family recipes in someone's home and why Pistoia is home to amazing plant nurseries and the heart of Tuscan landscape design. She was full of knowledge about Pistoia - check out her book "Pistoia and its Soul: Do you know this Tuscan city?" As my daughter said, "This was the BEST pasta we have had here in Italy!"
- Grazie Mille Luisa! We’ve had a great and very authentic experience making pasta with you. Thank you for the warm welcome, the beautiful stories you told us and the delicious pasta (we made ourselves)!
- What a lovely evening - a very personal cooking experience with Luisa in her home. Some great cooking tips and conversation as well!
- I want to thank Luisa for the magnificent dinner we prepared together, executed with such simplicity and finesse that captured the essences of Tuscan cuisine on a dish. Truly, a highly recommended experience!

Cesarina from 2022Location: Pistoia Languages: Italian and English"I was born in Romagna, but now after more than 35 years in Pistoia my home is Tuscany. In the green, but a few kilometers from the station and the Piazza del Duomo. I have a creative and curious soul and in the kitchen, through the dishes of the Romagna and Tuscan tradition, I express at best my spirit of welcome. I love to make homemade pasta, bake bread, cook the classic desserts of the tradition."
