Your experience
- Mixed bruschetta
- Ravioli (homemade pasta) with butter and sage
- Tiramisu with coffee and cocoa
A fun cooking class to learn secrets in the heart of Lucca's historic center.
We begin the experience with a tasty bruschetta that tells of the scents and colors of my land: the gold of the oil from the hills of Lucca and the sweet tomato canestrino, typical of Lucca. Then we will prepare together with eggs, flour and a rolling pin; ravioli stuffed with spinach and to finish we will learn how to make a sweet mascarpone cream, ladyfinger cookies, coffee and chocolate chips. I look forward to seeing you in my house overlooking the rooftops and towers of the city.

- Novella was incredible and we had the best time learning to make pasta with her and Marco. Her apartment was beautiful and she made us feel right at home and the dishes we made were delicious. It was the highlight of our trip and we could not recommend her enough!
- AMAZING!! This experience was hands down the most fun we’ve had while in Italy! Novella and Marco were incredible hosts and through them we learned a lot about the culture and cooking! Novella’s home was charming and the perfect setting for the experience!! We would absolutely do this again with the same hosts!!
- We had a wonderful experience with Novella and her family. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us. We made several dishes, including Tiramisu. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was such a great learning experience and I know we will use the recipes in the future. A very worthwhile experience. Many thanks to Novella, her family and to Marco as well. We had a wonderful evening.
- We had such a wonderful time. Novella was the best host, along with Marco for english translation & her husband. All of them made us feel welcome. I would recommend Novella to all my friends. It truly was a special evening to end our two week Italy vacation.
- Novella and Marco were fabulous hosts. We learned so much and had a wonderful time visiting and enjoying the wonderful food we helped prepare.

Novella
Cesarina from 2022Location: Lucca Languages: Italian, English, FrenchI was born in Bologna but my roots are here in Tuscany, including in cuisine. From the Lucca cuisine, I love to prepare tordelli with ragù and various soups, from frantoiana to ribollita to pappa al pomodoro, all seasoned with the excellent oil from our hills. The appetizer is always rustic, with excellent unsalted "sciocco" bread bruschetta and Colonnata lard, Igp Sorana beans, black cabbage, and the inevitable chicken livers. To finish sweetly, almond cantucci and grandmother's cream cake.
