- Ogi 19.05.2025 ho imparato a fare 3 tipi di pasta fata in casa e dei secreti molto importanți dalla cucina italiana da una seniora che si chiama Luisa che e stata molto gentilisima, molto ospitaliere, spiegando paso dopo pasa tutto procedimento come si fa la pasta ,come fare anche per conservarla in frizer se la fai tanta e anche come usare facilmente la machina per la pasta. Corso po essere adato anche a chi non ha fato mai pasta in casa per che la segniora a demonstrato molta pasienza ed e una persona molto sociabile. Se ci poteci dare piu di 5 stele lo fare. Ringrazio a a lei e anche a questo metodo che si chiama Cesarina che lo scoperto da poco. Ricomando a provare per che parole sono inutili da capire una esperienza come questa!
- A Delicious, Heartwarming Experience We had the absolute pleasure of taking a private cooking class with Luisa and it was truly one of the highlights our our trip. Born in Bologna, she brings all the warmth and culinary magic of Emilia-Romagna to her beautiful Tuscan home. From the moment we arrived, we felt like I was visiting an old friend. Her home is stunning—elegant yet cozy, with a charming garden full of herbs and flowers, and the gentle presence of her adorable dogs made everything feel even more welcoming. We started with schiacciata a rustic, hand-torn focaccia that’s soft inside and golden on the edges. She showed us how to make it with care and passion, explaining each step in a way that made it easy and joyful—even for a beginner. Then we moved on to her “think pizza”—a creative, lighter twist. We ate and sipping wine and enjoying what we had just created together. It wasn’t just a cooking class—it was a true Italian experience filled with stories, laughter, and soul. We left not only with new cooking skills but also with beautiful memories we will cherish forever. If you’re anywhere near Pistoia, do yourself a favor and book this experience. It’s a slice of Italy you’ll never forget!
- I really enjoyed this class at Luisa’s lovely home. She was so sweet and accommodating to my daughter and I, offering a special fish dish since I do not eat meat. There was a special garlic and a goat cheese from the farm too that was delicious. Her directions to make simple homemade pasta was spot on and she even lit a candle with dessert to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. I would highly recommend this class.
- Luvi was such a gracious and welcoming host. I was the only one that evening and she made me feel at home as we chatted about the recipes and the history of each. It was like having dinner with a great friend, over wine and great conversation. I highly recommend Luvi, Cesarine, if you are ever in Florence, Pistoia area. I welcome the day that I return. Thank you Luvi 😊 💓
- Luisa was a wonderful instructor. We enjoyed our experience making many different types of pasta and then enjoying our creations that she prepared for us. She is very engaging, spoke very good English and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend the class!

Luisa
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."
