Hi from Maria Cristina!
As in all the land of Emilia, cuisine is a cult. In each home, on the occasion of celebrations and anniversaries, you will find cappelletti in broth, green or yellow pumpkin tortelli prepared according to ancient family recipes. The local dishes are derived from Reggio Emilia and Modena: Maria Cristina interprets this grafting of the two culinary traditions, presenting some of the most typical local recipes once again.
My specialities
- Fried gnocchini with prosciutto, felino salami, and zucchini stuffed with ricotta
- Green tortelli with butter and sage

- What a wonderful evening. Christina and her husband were wonderful host and the food was perfect. They invited a friend that was interested in travel, loved to eat and spoke excellent English to join us. Christina's english was good too. I helped Christina roll the pasta and she did the cooking. I was able to relax and enjoy the evening. Her sweet mother came to meet me and I also met her young grandson. It was a wonderful way to experience real Italian family life. I was staying in the city of Reggio Emilia so I took a train to a nearby station and she picked me up. She and her husband drove me back to my apartment in the city afterwards. That was a great help because they did not feel I should walk alone late a night from the station in Reggio Emilia. I 100% recommend this dinner.
- We had a wonderful time with Cristina . We prepared a delicious meal from start to finish that we then enjoyed together. Her and her husband welcomed us with the utmost hospitality. This is a fantastic experience that we would highly recommend.
- We had the pleasure of cooking with Maria Cristina during our trip in 2019. We had an absolutely wonderful experience making pasta with her and learned many things about Italian cuisine and their culture as well. We would definitely recommend her and would most certainly do it again. We have such fond memories of that day. We had lost her contact information and are so happy we recently stumbled upon it so we could post this review. Thanks so much for a great evening.
- Great experience in an informal setting, sitting down to eat our creation with the family after the lesson. My wife and I didn’t leave until nearly 9:00.
