Great experience learning to make pasta with Sebastien. He met us nearby his apartment and we went back and learned a lot about making pasta. As a Venetian, he had interesting insights on the city and cooking. He has a beautiful redone kitchen with spectacular views of the canal which made the experience even more special. I would recommend this tour to any one interested in cooking and looking for something a little different in Venice.

Great Afternoon Learning to Make Pasta

Jeff_M, Feb 2026

Highlight of our week!

Charlotte_E, Jul 2021

Besides the food being delicious, the place was very special. At someone’s home on a little ranch with memorabilia that speaks volumes about their kindness and uniqueness. They really made us feel at home and showed us real and authentic love for food. We almost missed our flight because we didn’t want to leave. We will be back!

An experience not to be missed!

An experience I will cherish forever! The location was beautiful and our host and teacher was excellent! Such a lovely warm atmosphere and great food!

Memorable Cooking Class in Lucca!

John E, Sep 2019

Antonietta and her lovely translator made our group-of-two cooking class a memorable experience. The food was out of this world, and so fresh with many of the ingredients directly from the garden! The drinks added to the fun. The relaxing chat during the meal made us feel right at home. And the pasta cooking tips were invaluable. Thanks for a great lunch! A cooking class with Antonietta and her Lucca team is most highly recommended!

Wonderful Cooking Class with Antoinetta

Ann_H, Sep 2019

Five of us joined two others at Antoinetta's home. We were greeted with coffee and felt immediately welcomed. We cooked, ate, drank, laughed and had a wonderful unique Italian afternoon with our host, the chef, her translator and assistant. It was truly the hightlight of our trip to be part of this fun and unique experience.

Best cooking class and awesome lunch with a wonderful family atmosphere

MARK_V, Jun 2019

Antoinetta is excellent chef that is accredited by a top Italian University for traditional Tuscan cooking. We learned how to use local ingredients to make a terrific meal and then had a family dinner with Antoinetta and her team. This is highly recommended. We loved the experience and will go back again.

Pasta making in the country with Anonietta

Kevin_C, May 2019

The arrangement for our cooking class changed from a chef in a kitchen to a rural farm kitchen with Antonietta. The experience was different that what we expected, but was still awesome. The warm hospitality of Piero and Antonietta in their beautiful farm was excellent. Great lesson, amazing food. Just a wonderful day

RobertW_H, Aug 2016

What a wonderful experience! We had so much fun learning to make pasta. They took so much time to explain each step, and to show us exactly how to do each one. But, they let us do it. We were hands on. And, we cooked and ate it all in the end. Yummy! We have a memory that we will be us for a very long time!

Incontournable !

C’est un moment hors du commun que de se retrouver dans la grande maison d’Antonietta tout près de Lucca pour y apprendre, dans la plus pure tradition Toscane à fabriquer des pâtes! Le repas qui suit est aussi un bonheur tant nos hôtesses sont sympathiques !
