Shared Experience
Your experience
I look forward to welcoming you to my home surrounded by greenery, where we'll start with a walk through my family's olive grove, followed by a tasting of our homemade olive oil and olives. Together, we'll prepare a traditional Italian aperitivo: bruschetta with seasonal garden spreads, local cheeses and cured meats, all paired with white or rosé Prosecco.
We’ll make fresh tagliatelle from scratch, and I’ll also show you how to dry and store them, along with two extra recipes for using them later. We’ll cook the family’s traditional meat ragù—or, upon request, a vegetarian sauce.
At the table, we'll enjoy wine from the Lucca hills. To finish, a classic tiramisù or a fruity version with strawberries or peaches.

- Rossana’s class was amazing! She was very kind, welcoming, and accommodating. Rossana walked us step by step through the preparation of each dish. The food was absolutely delicious, and I’m so excited to recreate these meals at home. Her husband showed us around their cool olive grove and their dog was also so sweet! I highly recommend this experience and would 100% do it again!
- We had a wonderful experience at Rossana’s kitchen and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lucca. Rossana and her husband were very welcoming and although I speak no Italian, they made our entire family feel comfortable with easy conversation and AMAZING food!
- What a wonderful experience with Rosa and Alberto, fantastic hosts! We made two types of pasta and tirimasu and had the pleasure of sampling Rosa’s homemade pesto and cannellini dip which were so tasty. Alberto showed us through his olive grove we ate cherry’s and loquats from his trees. We then sat outside to eat. A truly memorable experience, thank you!
- We had an amazing experience with Rosanna and her husband. Really kind people and we enjoyed the dinner in their amazing garden. We also got all the recipes!!
- Our family had a wonderful time cooking with Rosanna! We felt like part of her family from the minute we walked in her home. We not only learned some amazing authentic Italian recipes but got to tour her family’s olive grove and see where the olive oil we used to cook our meal came from. We highly recommend Rosanna!!

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.
