Your experience
- Maltagliati with meat sauce
- Ricotta and spinach ravioli with butter and sage
- Tiramisu with coffee and cocoa
In the historic center in a very bright house with a view of Lucca's magnificent towers, we prepare together two different formats of fresh homemade pasta from eggs and flour: ravioli filled with cow ricotta and spinach, flavored with nutmeg, and maltagliati.
With a rolling pin we will roll out the dough for "maltagliati" seasoned with an excellent Tuscan meat sauce or alternatively with a fresh tomato sauce. To conclude, we will prepare a typical and creamy Italian dessert: coffee tiramisu.
I look forward to seeing you!

- 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.

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.
