Warme ontvangst, prachtige ervaring workshop en uitstekende maaltijd bij Rossana.

We werden hartelijk ontvangen door Rossana en Alberto. Vooraf werd afgesproken wat er zou gemaakt worden hetgeen de ervaring persoonlijker maakt. Rossana wijzigde de workshop omdat de onze kleindochter houdt van spaghetti, dit vonden we de max. Het maken van de pasta werd heel goed uitgelegd en gedemonstreerd zodat we het zelf ook van de eerste keer in onze vingers hadden. De maaltijd was heerlijk. Alberto was een goede hulpkok naast de chef Rossana. Beiden waren uitstekende gastheren en hun Eng...read more

Magical evening cooking with Rossana!

This was by far one of the best experiences we had in Italy! We feel honored to have found Rossana and her husband while in Lucca. The experience was beyond a cooking lesson; it was a magical evening. We learned new recipes and tasted wonderful dishes while sharing an evening with two amazing, welcoming people - and their lovely dog, Arte! They made us feel like family. We toured their olive grove and shared our meal with them at a lovely table set in the garden. It felt like we were in a movie!...read more

The highlight of our entire Italy vacation

My wife and I, along with another couple traveling with us, had the absolute pleasure of spending an evening with Alberto and Rosanna in their beautiful home in Lucca—and without question, it was the highlight of our entire trip to Italy. During the week, we visited Pisa, Florence, Lucca, and stayed in Calamecca. Each place was incredible in its own way, but nothing compared to the warmth, joy, and authenticity of this cooking experience. From the moment we walked in, Alberto and Rosanna made us...read more

Pasta and more!

This was so much more than just a cooking class. We were a group of four and wanted to experience authentic Italian cuisine. Andre and his wife were so accommodating and lovely. They opened up their home to us. And yes, while we did make three incredible pasta dishes, we also learned so much about the local culture. The cooking experience far exceeded our expectations and I would without hesitation. Recommend this experience to others.
