Join an Italian family for an authentic cooking experience steps to the Adriatic Sea in Abruzzo. This is not a commercial cooking school or a tourist restaurant. You'll spend the afternoon or evening inside a real family home just outside Pescara, where Teresa, an American host, cooks alongside Luca's Italian family - his mother Carla and Nonna Adriana - a unique 3 generational experience. Together we prepare traditional Abruzzo dishes that locals cook and eat at home. Guests will learn how to make a handmade pasta shape from scratch, prepare a regional sauce or main dish, and finish with a dessert. After cooking together, we sit down at the table to enjoy the meal with local wine - just as an Italian family would. The home is located just a short walk from the Adriatic Sea between Francavilla Al Mare and Ortona. Classes are offered in English and Spanish and are designed for travelers who want a genuine, relaxed and intentional experience rather than a staged tour. If you're looking for a memorable meal, meaningful conversations, and a true taste of Abruzzo, you'll feel right at home. If your preferred date isn’t available, feel free to reach out — we can often accommodate.
