You can feel her love for food, cooking and the region!

We did the pasta course with Ariela and had a wonderful day! You can feel her love for food, cooking and the region. We learnt so much. The course is something for everyone who wants to learn about Italian cuisine, Tuscany and attention to detail. Without a lot of frills, you learn hands-on what is important when making pasta and there was also wonderful gelato. If we were ever in the region again, we would definitely book a tour with Ariela! alla prossima :)

Great experience not only...

We loved this experience and had a great time making pasta ravioli and gelato (amazing gelato!). Our teacher was very friendly and offered plenty of insights and the food was just delicious! I would highly recommend this activity to anyone traveling to Lucca.

Fantastic class!

We had so much fun and spent such a good time in this class. The instructor was super friendly, knowledgable and approachable. The pasta and the gelato came out really good. Group size was perfect. I fully recommend.

We had a great time!!!

This was such a fun class, we made ravioli by hand with a ricotta filling and spaghetti alla chitara which was very cool (loved the gadget they use to make it, I'd never seen it before). Then we made the creamiest gelato all from scratch. Our teacher was very friendly and she told us all about the fresh local products from the farms in the area and everything tasted amazing. Plus the air conditioning was a big bonus in this heat wave! I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Lucca.
