Hi from Luisa!

One of the greatest riches of the city of Pescara, in addition to its extensive coast, is its cuisine. Sea, the shepherds, and its refined pastrymakers and housewives. Pescara has a rich culinary heritage, and the province is famous for a series of recipes that are highly sought after and appreciated throughout the world. Despite a tradition that is relatively younger than those of other provincial capitals, Pescara’s is unbeatable anywhere else in Abruzzo. Here we meet our Cesarina, Luisa, who offers us typical local holiday recipes and recipes from her family tradition.

Do not miss the opportunity to experience this dinner and cooking demo at Luisa's home! We had the most amazing home cooked authentic local cuisine all four delicious courses freshly prepared by Luisa with a demonstration of making local Chieti guitar pasta. She is an incredible chef. Her home is lovely and we dined on the beautiful outdoor terrace with Luisa, her husband Pierre Louis and friend/translator Maia. They are all such wonderful people so welcoming it felt more like a dinner with close friends. This truly was one of the highlights of our entire trip!

My son and I had an amazing time learning to make pasta and tiramisu. Luisa loves sharing her skills with people. We had an amazing meal afterwards with great conversation.

Wonderful! - June 2025

Luisa provided us with a beautiful evening. We enjoyed our view of the Adriatic Sea, visiting, making pastas and desserts from scratch I learned many Italian cooking tips, skills, and words! Luisa is a pleasant lady that takes pride in her cooking and her home. We felt welcome and grateful to have had this true local Ambruzzo experience.

Luisa was a great host and wonderful cook. We made a sweet ravioli and homemade pasta learning to use the Chitarra. We also made a version of tiramisu using strawberries and lemoncello instead of coffee. The flavors were delicious. Luisa was a wonderful host and my friend and I had a lovely time. Now we can’t wait to get home and practice the pasta making techniques we learned. Thanks Luisa!!

Luisa was a gracious host and teacher. We loved the personal experience and traditions she shared with us. Mikaela, was a delight- she helped to translate for us. We enjoyed our food together with them, and Luisa’s husband. Great conversation. We made new friends!! Highly recommend this experience.
