Your experience
- Pici with bolognese ragout
- Rice cake
You will learn how to make pici, one of the most famous types of homemade pasta, using only water and flour, according to Tuscan peasant tradition. It will be served with a rich red sauce from the Emilia region. In Italy, every region, every province, every city and, ultimately, every family has its own recipes. These thousands of variations are a true treasure to be preserved, passed on and shared. The meal will be rounded off with a rice cake, also typical of our area.

- What a beautiful individual filled with passion to share family customs and the skills in preparing pasta. Simplistic recipes with great potential and wonderful instruction. We highly recommend this class for embracing the art of preparation, the added knowledge of utilization for multiple presentations, and the warmth of the one-on-one atmosphere.
- Excellent experience with Mrs. Luisa. Luisa, very hospitable and kind, guided us step by step in the preparation of some types of pasta and it was a very interesting and pleasant experience. To be repeated, thank you.
- A wonderful cooking class in a warm, family-style atmosphere. Luisa was a thoughtful and attentive host, carefully listening also to our gluten-free dietary needs and making everyone feel truly welcome. Making fresh pasta together, surrounded by conversation and laughter, turned the experience into something authentic, inclusive, and genuinely special!
- Luisa’s pasta class was authentic and beautiful! She invited you into her home, where she is excellent at explaining the traditional customs of pasta making. It felt like family and home and Tuscan hospitality all wrapped up into one. Bellissimo!
- Luisa was very accommodating and nice. We felt comfortable at her place. It was like a nice cooking evening with friends. We were allowed to do everything ourselves and she explained everything super well. I would do it again, but I can make great pasta now thanks to Luisa

Cesarina from 2022Location: Pistoia (PT) 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."
