Overview

I have a real passion for quality food and I am impatient to share it with new people. Cooking and eating all together is such a good experience that I don't want to keep it just for me!

I'm realy enthusiastic for the genuine italian cuisine since childhood and I look forward to meet new "lovers" every day!

A full immersion in a real tuscan kitchen. We will start from the best ingredients and together we will discover how to prepare home made pasta, appetizers, and desserts from the best local tradition.

After a welcome drink and appetizer we will start prepearing our lunch or dinner together.
You will learn how to make home made pasta and of course we cannot miss a traditional cake, what about tiramisù?

Once the meal is ready we will taste our creations together accompanied by some good local chianti wine.

Feel free to take some time after lunch to discuss about what we made, suggestion and tips for your holiday in tuscany or just for some relax.

    Luca was the best host, our group had a great time making pesto fettuccine and ravioli! It was a nice experience to sit and have dinner with his family!!!

    Luca was an outstanding instructor. He is very approachable, knowledgeable, fun, and talented. The food was delicious, and it was a wonderful treat to enjoy the feast with Luca and his wonderful family. The class was a small group, enabling Luca to provide one-on-one guidance and instruction. We highly recommend this incredible experience.

    We had an absolutely incredible evening with Luca, making two different types of past and tiramisu. He was a very kind and knowledgeable instructor, and we got to enjoy our dinner with his wonderful family. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Florence!

    Luca was very gracious and accommodating! He is a wonderful chef and really made us feel comfortable in his home. We were there with our four kids (14-21). We had a great evening learning, chatting & laughing! We will cherish the memory!

    We spent our last night of our trip cooking pasta in Luca’s home and it was the best way to end our trip! Him and his family were so welcoming! We learned how to make pasta and tiramisu and then gathered together to enjoy the meal to end the evening. Very authentic experience and definitely recommend!
