Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Home made pasta
  • Gnudi (gnocchi-like dumplings) with butter and sage
  • Potato gnocchi

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.

Sylvia was wonderful. Warm and welcoming into her home. Teaching us her family recipe of gnocchi, tiramisu and explaining the best way to make real ragu. I highly recommend her and this experience in Lucca.

Silvia was wonderful! She was gracious, warm and welcoming. She was so passionate about Italian food and tradition. Her directions were clear and she allowed everyone an opportunity to participate in preparing food. By the time we sat down to eat what we had made, it felt like a family meal! Molto bene! Grazie mille, Silvia!

What an awesome experience. Sylvia was so hospitable and welcoming. Her apartment was enchanting. And her expertise in Italian cooking was clear. She even had some of her grandmother’s dishes. She was adept at managing fun conversations among the guests while concentrating on whether someone’s pasta or gnocchi needed more flour and keeping the work space clean as we went through multiple recipes. It all seemed effortless but surely required attention and focus. All in all the evening was spectacular!

Silvia was incredible! We made a delicious dinner with our favorite, tiramisu! She was such a good teacher for cooking techniques and so fun to talk to about Lucca and life in general. A beautiful experience!

"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!"
