My wife and myself had a great night with Monica our fantastic host. We learned many cooking tips and, most of all had a real fun night. Monica has huge experience of Italian cooking and we were grateful for the tips she passed on. At the end of the session we all sat down together to eat the food we had prepared and it was delicious.

Skip the commercial kitchen. Go to Rosanna's.
Rosanna was AMAZING! If you're deciding between a cooking class in a commercial kitchen and one in a real Italian home, stop deciding. Being welcomed into her home felt less like a class and more like visiting a friend who happens to be an incredible cook.
She offers several classes with different menus, so you can choose what you actually want to eat. We went with lasagna and made everything from scratch: the pasta, the bolognese, and the béchamel. Then we assembled it, baked it, and ate far more than we should admit (including the best Tiramisu!). We also got a tour of her olive trees, and the space was lovely and spotless.
The second-best part of the experience is a tie between getting to know her assistant (also known as her husband) and their kind, gentle dog, who supervised quietly.
When we come back to Lucca, we will definitely take another one of her classes. There are plenty of menus left to work through!

A unique and fun cooking experience that we won’t forget
Silvia was amazing! Her home is so welcoming and beautiful and she created such a fun and immersive atmosphere. We were a group of 12 ladies and yet Silvia still managed to leave a lasting impact on each of us. We would highly recommend her and we loved the afternoon with her.

Made with love by me!
An authentic meal created from scratch by me! We were in good hands with Sylvia our Cesarine who patiently and thoroughly explained the process of pasta making. The best tiramisu I ever ate and I helped make it!

It’s worth every penny....
It’s worth every penny. Sylvia was a terrific teacher, very kind, very patient, very knowledgeable and willing to share her knowledge with us. She’s a wonderful teacher.

More Than a Cooking Class: A Real Italian Experience!
Monica and Paulo made us feel like family as we talked and learned and ate in their beautiful outdoor kitchen and garden. After seeing many of Italy's incredible sights, spending this time with Monica and Paulo was the perfect way to end our trip. Monica is an excellent teacher and cook. We made two pastas and enjoyed eating the multi-course meal. Brava, Monica!

10/10 would recommend
This was wonderful, we were in luck that we had a private class. Sylvia opened her beautiful home for us (center Lucca) and she thought us how to make the best pasta and tiramisu (we'll never want anything else again). She shares the recipes afterwards so you can make them at home.

Our experience was fun...
Our experience was fun and unique. However, the host seemed surprised that we had 6 people and wasn’t aware the tour was 3 hours. Everything was rushed and didn’t make the ravioli or tiramisu cause we didn’t have time.
事業者からの返答
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re really glad to hear that you found the experience fun and unique, but we’re truly sorry that the tour felt rushed and that you didn’t have the opportunity to make the ravioli and tiramisu.
We apologize for the confusion regarding the number of guests and the 3-hour duration of the experience. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. We’ll take your feedback seriously and work to improve the organization and communication with our hosts so that everyone has enough time to fully enjoy the experience.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
