I am Silvia, a Cesarina who lives in the historic center of Lucca.
I invite you to join me for a cooking class in my kitchen to learn about the authentic flavors of Tuscan cuisine. We will prepare three types of pasta dishes together: we will start with tasty potato gnocchi served with meat sauce, or alternatively a meatless sauce for those who are vegetarians, using fresh and high quality ingredients. The second proposal is perhaps the most famous, the unfailing homemade pasta, using only two ingredients: eggs and flour. Finally we will make gnudi, ravioli prepared using only spinach, ricotta and parmesan cheese.

- Overall it was a wonderful experience. Sylvia’s home was very welcoming and warm. The menu was exactly what I wanted -an unfamiliar appetizer, a simple pasta dish, and a desert to die for! I can’t wait to prepare all for my friends back home. Spectaculare!
- Sylvia was very friendly and welcomed us into her very cozy home. She was a fabulous instructor with so many good tips! The food: gnudi, gnocci, fettuccini and ragù was sooooo yummy! Highlight of our whole trip.
- the class was wonderful,lots of cooking information and the recipes were great. Silvia was very gracious and her home was beautiful.
- Silvia was an excellent teacher, and her ragu was SO good! We want to do another class on our next visit.
- Silvia was the perfect hostess and teacher. We enjoyed every part of the experience from prep, to cooking, to eating, and the great tips throughout. The group was also a great mix. We will do this again and look forward to receiving recipes from Silvia.

Cesarina from 2022Location: Lucca Languages: Italian and English"I love to host and take care of the table, I always try to create a mise en place with some ingredient that recalls the menu or seasonality. I prefer to cook dishes of land, typical of the Tuscan tradition, I do not try too much in desserts... but only not to eat too many!"
