Ciao da Luisa!
"Sono nata in Romagna, ma ormai dopo più di 35 anni a Pistoia la mia casa è la Toscana. Nel verde, ma a pochi chilometri dalla stazione e dalla piazza del Duomo. Vivo in una casa colonica all'interno di uno dei vivai più antichi della mia città, conosciuta per questa tipicità unica, ma anche per il piccolo centro storico a misura d'uomo con una ricchezza di edifici storici pari alle vicine Firenze o Lucca. Ho un animo creativo e curioso e nella cucina, attraverso i piatti della tradizione romagnola e toscana, esprimo al meglio il mio spirito di accoglienza: non a caso da me si entra, come nell'antica tradizione contadina, dalla porta della cucina. Adoro fare la pasta fatta in casa, impastare e cuocere pani, cercare, cucinare e tramandare i dolci classici della tradizione."

- A Delicious, Heartwarming Experience We had the absolute pleasure of taking a private cooking class with Luisa and it was truly one of the highlights our our trip. Born in Bologna, she brings all the warmth and culinary magic of Emilia-Romagna to her beautiful Tuscan home. From the moment we arrived, we felt like I was visiting an old friend. Her home is stunning—elegant yet cozy, with a charming garden full of herbs and flowers, and the gentle presence of her adorable dogs made everything feel even more welcoming. We started with schiacciata a rustic, hand-torn focaccia that’s soft inside and golden on the edges. She showed us how to make it with care and passion, explaining each step in a way that made it easy and joyful—even for a beginner. Then we moved on to her “think pizza”—a creative, lighter twist. We ate and sipping wine and enjoying what we had just created together. It wasn’t just a cooking class—it was a true Italian experience filled with stories, laughter, and soul. We left not only with new cooking skills but also with beautiful memories we will cherish forever. If you’re anywhere near Pistoia, do yourself a favor and book this experience. It’s a slice of Italy you’ll never forget!
- Luisa was an amazing host and teacher! She made me feel so welcome and taught me how to make pasta, all while sharing tons of fascinating anecdotes. Her house was stunning and incredibly inspirational. I had such a wonderful time with her—highly recommend!
- I really enjoyed this class at Luisa’s lovely home. She was so sweet and accommodating to my daughter and I, offering a special fish dish since I do not eat meat. There was a special garlic and a goat cheese from the farm too that was delicious. Her directions to make simple homemade pasta was spot on and she even lit a candle with dessert to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. I would highly recommend this class.
- Luvi was such a gracious and welcoming host. I was the only one that evening and she made me feel at home as we chatted about the recipes and the history of each. It was like having dinner with a great friend, over wine and great conversation. I highly recommend Luvi, Cesarine, if you are ever in Florence, Pistoia area. I welcome the day that I return. Thank you Luvi 😊 💓
- Luisa was a wonderful instructor. We enjoyed our experience making many different types of pasta and then enjoying our creations that she prepared for us. She is very engaging, spoke very good English and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend the class!
