"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 class with Claudia was wonderful. We (my husband, our two teenage children, and I) spent a fantastic day learning to cook Italian dishes using top-quality ingredients. We felt as though we were being welcomed by Italian friends. An unforgettable experience! Claudia’s husband was incredibly helpful and created a warm, family-like atmosphere. We are very grateful and would love to come back for the spring edition
- What a fantastic afternoon we had with Claudia! From the very first moment, everything felt personal and welcoming. We started by going grocery shopping together at various local delicatessen shops, where Claudia enthusiastically told us about the products. It was also really fun to choose a matching wine together. After that, we met her husband Francesco, and along the way we were shown a few lovely sights of Spoleto. We then headed to Claudia’s beautiful property, where the cooking workshop took place. The workshop was amazing and so much more than just cooking. It felt like we were briefly part of Italian life. The hospitality of Claudia and Francesco, the delicious dishes, the relaxed atmosphere, and the stunning location made this an experience we will not soon forget. If you are in the Spoleto area, we can highly recommend this cooking workshop. It is a unique opportunity to experience the local culture up close and enjoy an unforgettable afternoon!
- 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!
