It was truly a pleasure spending the day with Monica and her husband. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our pasta making and enjoyed the foods Monica prepared. She was such a delight! I would highly recommend this activity! The only negative I have was that there was no Market tour, which is how it was advertised with "Get Your Guide", but that was no fault of Monica's. She was simply the best!

Monica's class was great! She is so sincere, knowledgeable and passionate about the local, fresh ingredients we used. It was really fun to learn how to make homemade pasta. She is a delight!

My daughter and I and three friends were blessed to spend a lovely morning and afternoon with Monica Rosati in Lucca, Italy, sharing her passion for fresh local foods! It was an amazing day and my favorite of the four trips we have made to Italy. We began our day by meeting Monica at Atelier Casa Inverse, the art studio of a young friend. As our visit was on a Sunday, she opened her shop just for us. While we looked at her lovely art work, she personalized place cards and other items that were available for purchase. She served an array of Italian cookies for us to try while shopping. She is a talented and charming artist/hostess! From the shop, Monica took us home where we were welcomed by her children and husband. We relaxed on a pleasant patio which contained her outdoor kitchen. Once we were settled with a glass of Prosecco, she proceeded to have us feel and examine 10 different flours that she uses in her cooking. Then we measured and mixed two different pastas all the while being fascinated with her descriptions of life in Lucca and her passion for cooking. She made sure we understood how different flours affected the texture of the pasta we were making. We took turns kneading them for 20 minutes and then let them sit while we she talked of the importance of choosing fresh, local ingredients.Monica speaks excellent English but was quick to practice words she had not yet mastered to her satisfaction. There was much laughter and we were at ease as though we were visiting old friends. She and her husband kept our wine glasses filled while we enjoyed wonderful plates of appetizers, the two kinds of pasta that we made, and deserts, especially my favorite, the fried Buccellato. Do not miss this amazing opportunity to cook with Monica!

This class was AMAZING! It was everyone's favorite thing we did on our trip! Monica is such a joy! The class was in her home and she was so authentic and so passionate about Italian food! She has a full kitchen set up outside where we cooked and ate. The weather and setting were quintessential Italy! We all said we would love for her to be our next door neighbor and friend. We made 2 types of pasta and she explained every step, she did a bruschetta, anti pasta tasting and we had 3 different desserts w/wine as well as the 2 pasta dishes. It was a lot of food!! She would pass an ingredient and say smell - what you think...she wanted to know what we thought the ingredient was and how/what did it make us feel. Additional highlight is she met us at her friends artist studio Casa Inverse! We loved her studio full of items she had created and you could tell she was also passionate. It was quaint and beautiful and you could tell there was love behind everything she created. She does calligraphy and gave us all a beautiful name tag. I remarked that I didn't know my name could look that fantastic :) If you want to visit with a real Italian that is passionate about food and Italy spend a day with Monica!
