Francesca
"For me, being in front of the stove is really a pleasure, which I often share with our friends. Pleasure in preparing something genuine that often takes us back to the kitchens of our grandmothers, crowded with relatives, especially during the holidays. Our territory is rich in poor but exceptional products, which I like to serve in the simplest way possible, precisely to enhance them. "

- My wife and I had a fabulous time learning how to make orecchiette and focaccia with Francesca. She was a great teacher, helping us create a wonderful lunch shared in her home. Highly recommended!
- A great experience. I cannot say enough about it. I would highly recommend this. And best of all, we shared a home-cooked meal, made from our labor. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! Best meal we've had in Italy.
- I booked three days in a row with Francesca. I learned to make pasta (Orecchiette, Cavatelli, and Maccheroni), as well as Tortellini and Ravioli with different fillings, and Pure di Fave with Cicorie and two different Focaccia. It was simply wonderful to cook these dishes together with Francesca. I learned a lot and am glad that Francesca is such a patient and empathetic "teacher." I felt very comfortable with her over these three days and can only recommend it.
- Francesca and the whole family welcomed us as if we were at home. They were very patient with the kids and taught us how to cook orecchiette and tiramisu. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended for a different experience. Ideal with children!
- Francesca provided a true Italian experience via her hospitality! The class was great; Francesca is a wonderful teacher. The pasta came out perfectly and it tasted even better. I will take what I learned today and use that information back home. I would definitely tell others who are looking for an authentic experience about Francesca!
