Hands-on cooking class with starter, pasta and dessert
Shared Experience
Your experience
- Variety of Tuscan croutons
- Ravioli (homemade pasta) with butter and sage
- Tiramisu or traditional local dessert
We will prepare Tuscan crostini together: fettunta with extra virgin olive oil, tomato crostini and hot crostini with stracchino cheese and sausage (for those who are not vegetarians).
Ravioli represent one of the typical first courses of Italian culture. We prepare them exclusively with selected flours, very fresh ricotta from the shepherd of our country, spinach and fragrant aromas that we will discover during the preparation. Upon request, it will be possible to prepare tiramisu or discover other typical local recipes. As for wine, we will taste a prosecco purchased directly from the producer and/or a good quality red wine.

- Monica and her husband were wonderful hosts and took great care and time to teach and create a fun experience.
- We had such a lovely time with Monica during our cooking class! She treated us like family, and served us to some of the most delicious food we have had in Italy! She was a great instructor, and made the experience both fun and educational, and really gave the class a personal touch! I highly recommend Monica for an authentic Italian cooking experience!!
- This experience was wonderful! We were paired with Monica who warmly welcomed us into her home and gave us a night to remember! We started by analyzing the unlimited number of available Italian flour before selecting the base of our pasta. She was patient and strict at the same time - exactly what you'd expect from an Italian teacher. We greatly enjoyed rolling the dough, making the sauces, cutting the pasta, and drinking the wine! Monica and her husband were super entertaining with their local stories and jubilant attitude. I was full for days afterwards. 10/10 would cook again!
- 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!
- 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!
