Our Cooking lesson with Monica was clearly a big highlight of our holiday! She and her husband were so kind and friendly, which is why we felt very comfortable from the beginning. She taught us a lot of traditional italian food and snacks. Much more than we expected. Next time we are in Lucca we will definitely visit her again!

Monica was excellent and the cooking class was a highlight of our trip. We enjoyed meeting her kind family and opening her home to us so cordially. She was very patient and helpful with us in explaining what to do and why. If you have any time in Tuscany this experience was well worth it. Thank you Monica!

It was a true Italian dining experience. From the welcome at the door to the final goodbye I felt the warmth of a family who enjoyed my company as much as I enjoyed theirs.
