Description

Good to Know

Much more than a cooking course, it will be a unique experience. Sight, smell, hearing ... in this path the 5 senses will be involved, so as to leave you with an unforgettable memory. This experience comes from a childhood memory, spent outdoors. It has the scent of freshly cut grass, the passion for traditional cuisine and the serenity of an atmosphere that warms up under the notes of the Italian Opera.

The next best thing to being invited to Andrea Bocelli's house

In the movie "Solo Mio", Kevin James' character is invited to famed tenor Andrea Bocelli's home in the Tuscan countryside to help cook dinner and listen to great music. You are NOT getting invited to Bocelli's home, but being invited to Lucrezia's home is the next best thing. ---- We visited Lucrezia at her family's villa in the beautiful Tuscan countryside for an evening of fine company, a delicious homemade meal (which we helped prepare), and fabulous music. ---- We found Lucrezia to be ...read more

Great time, great dinner, wonderful hosts - just go

Loved this experience! We would highly recommend visiting this place for dinner. The food was excellent too. The people who own and run this are so kind and so fun. They are very welcoming. We all enjoyed it so much!

Fun Evening!

While we weren't sure what to expect, we had a lovely evening. We were two of ten participating, and everyone did a little of the dinner preparation. Learning to make Cavatelli was the highlight for me; it's easy to do at home! We had a driver to and from the venue, so it was not an issue to find the place. My son uses a wheelchair, and the hostess was quite accommodating.
