Hi from Luisa!
"I was born in Romagna, but now after more than 35 years in Pistoia my home is Tuscany. In the green, but a few kilometers from the station and the Piazza del Duomo. I have a creative and curious soul and in the kitchen, through the dishes of the Romagna and Tuscan tradition, I express at best my spirit of welcome. I love to make homemade pasta, bake bread, cook the classic desserts of the tradition."

- Luisa welcomed my husband and I into her kitchen with open arms. The pasta we cooked was delicious, and Luisa was a wonderful teacher. We learned so much about traditional Italian cooking and the charming town of Pistoia.
- ho partecipato con una amica alla lezione sulla pasta fresca della Cesarina Luisa G. la lezione è stata molto interessante e ricca di spunti, Luisa si è dimostrata preparata e molto cordiale, ci ha divertito molto raccontandoci un sacco di aneddoti sulla storia della cucina emiliana. Sicuramente un'esperienza da ripetere.Lisa
- Mi è stata regalata questa lezione di pasta all’uovo per il mio compleanno. Devo dire che più che lezione è stata una esperienza. Luisa, oltre a spiegare e farci vedere come si realizza la pasta all’uovo, ci ha raccontato anedotti e svelato trucchetti su come riuscire al meglio in questa arte.
- From the moment we entered Luisa’s beautiful kitchen we felt like old friends. She started with sharing stories of her family and then her love of cooking. It was so easy to just start cooking. The pastas were perfect. She unlocked for us the mystery of making delicious and traditionally shaped pasta. Then we sat down and enjoyed a amazing meal and many more stories. Luisa gave us precious memories of our time in Pistoia and the gift of pasta making that’swe will be sharing with our grandchildren when we return home. We look forward to coming back to Pistoia and having another evening with our new friend.
- Luisa was outstanding. We left with some new cooking skills and an appreciation for the art of making pasta
