“Everything was perfect! A highlight of our stay in Lucca! Silvia our hostess and chef took us shopping for ingredients at a wonderful local market. She was charming, friendly, thoughtful, professional and patient. In her well-equipped kitchen we learned traditional hands-on techniques for preparing two tasty Italian recipes following by a well appointed lunch served in her beautiful home in the heart of Lucca. Absolutely perfect day! Thank you Silvia. Hope you will visit us in San Francisco and Napa Valley when you travel to California.”

“We had a delightful evening at Giacomo & Helena’s home. To start with we were treated to delicious foods and wine from the region. Helena’s pesto was the best we have ever had!

It was an unforgettable experience in Lucca and would highly recommend this experience.”

“We had so much fun in this class! Just the 2 of us this time. The pasta making was easy and delicious. So interesting learning how to make tiramisu. It was also great learning about the family’s restaurant. I only wished we were able to make a sauce together, however I know it takes hours to simmer the delicious bolognese. Overall lovely experience.”

“Our activity with Monica was wonderful! We had such an amazing time making pasta and the food Monica prepared was incredible! She was so very patient with our group of 12 people. The only negative I have and it's no fault of Monica's, is that our expectation was that we were going on a Market Tour and then going back to Monica's house to cook. There was no Market Tour. We went on a Sunday and the market isn't open, but the company should have made us aware of that. Overall, I would recommend this activity and have only great things to say about our time with Monica!Read more”
