It was a very special experience. We met Claudia in the city and she showed us some places and the cathedral while shopping. Her special connection to Spoleto was immediately noticeable. At her home the atmosphere was very authentic and also very warm-hearted. She always emphasised the regional origin of the ingredients and took a lot of time for us. Again and again, her love for Umbria and Spoleto was particularly noticeable. In the end there was a local special feature as dessert. Her husband Francesco took a lot of pictures of us, which made the experience unforgettable. It was a meal with friends and not “just a cooking class”. Dear Claudia, we will be back.

The experience that Claudia provided was exceptional. After an informative walk through Spoleto purchasing some produce, we were welcomed into her home to prepare the meal. Wonderful appetizers of different types of bruschetta, salami and sausage, and ricotta with homemade fig marmalade. Then we made fresh Strengozzi pasta with a homemade tomato sauce. Claudia and Francesco are wonderful hosts and we highly recommend this experience!

I had an amazing time with Claudia and learned so much. We used beautiful very local ingredients and she tailored the menu for me as a vegetarian. Claudia is so generous in the way she shares information and providing tastings of different ingredients - it was a great day. I highly recommend this as a very authentic way to experience a Italian food and hospitality in Claudia's home.

I have traveled all over the world and participated in many meals. However, I have never felt more welcomed, nor have I experienced a more lovely warm home and hosts and delicious local cuisine. Anyone that is fortunate enough to dine with Claudia and Francesco will have an experience and a memory that will last a lifetime.

After a very pleasant and instructive walk through Spoleto, during which Claudia and I bought the supplies for our lunch and visited some of Spoleto's main artistic treasures, we also met Francesco and all went together to their home. We prepared a traditional Umbrian lunch under Claudia's expert and patient guidance and with Francesco's friendly complicity. Both during the preparation and the lavish lunch, we spoke very pleasantly, getting to know each other with great harmony. We felt as if we were old friends and time flew by. We highly recommend this experience, which we personally hope to be able to repeat in the not-too-distant future. Thank you, Claudia and Francesco!

"I have always loved my territory and its products. My father cultivated the land and raised animals, so in my family we have always been used to eating excellent quality products and km 0. From the moment I got married, I continued the family tradition re-proposing the typical dishes that my father used to prepare for us and my guests are always happy when they are invited for lunch or dinner."
