Lucia was amazing! She taught us how to make orecchiette which we ate for dinner. The sauce she made to go with it was superb. The appetizers were good, the other pasta dish delicious and the sausages also delicious. Lucia and her husband were wonderful hosts and I would definitely recommend her for a home cooked authentic and delicious meal.
