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.

We were so excited to have an authentic Italian cooking lesson and Luisa did not disappoint! We were welcomed into her beautiful home by Luigi, Luisa’s charming husband along with a delightful friend who was our Italian to English translator. Luisa patiently and skillfully guided us through making an antipasto, handmade pasta and traditional cannoli with custard. We then shared our creations around the family dinner table with wine - made by Luigi and his brother and great conversation! We had a 5 star experience and highly recommend booking a class with Luisa!

Since we realized we had this opportunity, we knew we wanted it. It was an extraordinary experience. It’s the only way to discover how ordinary people live and taste the food they cook, in their homes. Mrs. Luisa and her husband are wonderful hosts. Furthermore, Maia, the translator, managed to make us understand everything. It was the best moment of our visit to Pescara. We recommend everyone to experience this.

Lovely experience, a very warm welcome and excellent food! We had never done anything like this before, but our son and us had a great time and got to discover some delicious local food. Warmly recommended!

Fam. Peranic-Attenelle - November 2025

It was a wonderful experience. Luisa and her family are incredibly kind and welcoming. She happily showed us how she prepares her dishes, while her husband offered us local drinks and the wine he makes at home. An authentic, welcoming, and unforgettable moment.
