Italian cuisine is based on simplicity, the quality of ingredients, and ease of preparation. Pizza and gelato are great classics that you can enjoy and make in any season! We will prepare true classic Italian pizza: bianca (just oil), Margherita, Quattro Stagioni, Capricciosa, and Napoletana. I will teach you the tricks related to leavening, cooking in a wood-fired oven and an electric oven. And then we'll make fior di latte gelato (cream, milk, sugar) or stracciatella (fior di latte with dark chocolate). During the experience, you'll be able to savor excellent Tuscan red wine, Italian craft beers, homemade coffee and grappas.
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!

Wonderful evening with Louisa in her charming home. Louisa shared her family recipes with us as well as interesting facts about Pistoia. We really enjoyed the food and hospitality and would definitely recommend this experience.

"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."
