"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."

- The experience with Claudia and Francesco was the highlight of this “class”! Yes, the food we had and the patience that Claudia showed was a wonderful experience. But the conversation; the quick connection; and, the genuine friendliness was such a wonderful experience. This is something not to be missed, as you will not find better hosts and more genuine people! We hope to see you both again! Grazie Mille!
- My husband and I had a lovely time cooking with Claudia. She guided us very well in the preparation of delicious Umbrian dishes- Claudia’s journey into Umbrian Cuisine through 3 recipes. We prepared lentils with sausages, made our very own pasta with truffle sauce, and an amazing Tiramisu from scratch. All the ingredients were locally sourced and fresh. She welcomed us into her lovely home and laid a beautiful table for us. We recommend Claudia and her husband, Francesco, wholeheartedly.
- Exceptional experience! Our evening with Claudia and Francesco was so much more than a cooking class—it was a truly unforgettable experience. By the end of the night, we felt like we had shared dinner with new friends. From shopping for fresh ingredients in Spoleto, to enjoying a charming walking tour that included an ancient Roman amphitheater, to being welcomed into their beautiful home, every moment was thoughtfully planned and filled with warmth. This was, without question, one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Umbria. Claudia and Francesco, thank you for opening not only your home but also your hearts to us. Your generosity, hospitality, and passion made this an experience we'll always treasure. We can't recommend it highly enough!
- We spent a wonderful evening with Claudia and Francesco. Claudia taught us very clearly with a menu of various bruschetta, cheese, capocollo, ravioli, strangozzi and a tiramisu. The food turned out perfectly despite our inexperience. We then had a fantastic dinner learning about life in Umbria and Italy. We couldn’t recommend Claudia’s experience more highly.
- We spent a wonderful morning learning from Claudia and enjoying her and her husband, Francesco's, delightful hospitality. We met opposite our hotel and then went for a wander through Spoleto stopping at various food shops to pick up the freshest ingredients and wine for our lunch. Claudia also took us to the Duomo to admire the frescoes and the hand written letter from St Francis of Assisi. Then it was off to Claudia and Francesco's home in the countryside for pasta making lesson in her well- equipped and laid out kitchen. Claudia's teaching is clear and straightforward and the strangozzi and various bruschettas were soon made. Then we sat down for lunch with Claudia and Francesco to devour the fruits of our labours and to learn more about the food, history and culture of Umbria. It was a super enjoyable introduction to our holiday and an experience not to be missed. Thanks so much Claudia
