Is there a better way to experience the Italian summer than by cooking, eating and having fun together?
We look forward to welcoming you to our villa, nestled amongst a large garden, an olive grove and a vegetable patch, to spend a few hours enjoying flavours, the good life and good company. We’ll start by making a caprese salad, then get our hands dirty making spaghetti, served with a fragrant basil pesto. To round off on a sweet note, we’ll prepare a delicious limoncello tiramisu – a fresh and irresistible twist on the classic Italian dessert. During the preparation, we’ll use our own olive oil, aromatic herbs and ingredients picked straight from our vegetable garden. You’ll take home not only new recipes, but also the memory of a true Italian summer.

- When your 17 year old son said it was his favorite thing about Italy, you know you’re in the right home making delicious authentic meals with shared recipes to last a lifetime. Thank you Rossana for such a fabulous evening in Lucca!
- A very special experience. Rossana and Alberto were the perfect hosts welcoming us into their home and teaching us so much about Italian cooking. Our teenage daughters loved the class and are excited to make their own pasta when we return home. This really was one of the highlights of our trip and we’ve had many. Thank you Rossana, Alberto and of course Arte. It was a privilege to spend time with you all.
- Rossana, Alberto and Arte were excellent hosts that welcomed us into their beautiful home. Rossana led our family smoothly through the whole preparation process. While waiting for everything to cook, Alberto took us for a lovely stroll through their olive trees and garden, explaining the family history. Dinner was served in their backyard covered patio and we were sent off with a hug and full bellies. Everyone loved the whole experience and it was the highlight of our trip for the five of us, including three boys (15, 14 and 11).
- Rossana and Alberto were wonderful hosts. We enjoyed their company that we stay longer than the 3 hours. Felt like we have been friends forever. We learned a lot and loved the hands on experience. The pesto for our pasta was delicious. The apps were yummy as well, the bruschetta with creamy pesto grilled peaches and walnuts was fantastic. The tomatoes and basil from the family garden were delicious and well as the family made olive oil. The limoncello Tiramisu was unbelievable! Their home was beautiful as well as the yard where we ate all of the food that was prepared. Rossana’s home limoncello was the beat we ever had. Our family has two new friends!! Highly recommend
- We werden hartelijk ontvangen door Rossana en haar man Alberto in perfect Engels. We apprecieerden het erg dat Rossana haar menu en de workshop vooraf met ons had afgesproken. Hierdoor heeft onze kleindochter Hailey de beste spaghetti ooit gegeten met de beste saus “ever”. De maaltijd was heerlijk en zeer persoonlijk wat we erg waardeerden. Als we nog eens in de buurt van Lucca komen zijn we uitgenodigd voor de heerlijke cappuchino van het huis. Achteraf werden de familierecepten netjes doorgestuurd. Prachtige ervaring geweest. Bedankt, Ludovicus

Cesarina from 2024Location: Lucca (LU) Languages: Italian and EnglishI prefer simple dishes made with just a few wholesome, seasonal ingredients, often harvested directly from my own vegetable garden and orchard. I love to enhance the authentic flavors of the land using extra virgin olive oil that we produce ourselves. My cooking is rooted in traditional Tuscan cuisine, but I also enjoy experimenting: I create original recipes that I carefully jot down in my personal recipe book, built over time with love and passion.
