Fun Evening! - While we weren't sure what to expect, we had a lovely evening. We were two of ten participating, and everyone did a little of the dinner preparation. Learning to make Cavatelli was the highlight for me; it's easy to do at home! We had a driver to and from the venue, so it was not an issue to find the place. My son uses a wheelchair, and the hostess was quite accommodating.

It was an incredible... - It was an incredible cooking class experience in Chianti, set inside a beautifully preserved 16th-century house. Overlooking the rolling vineyards. The hosts were welcoming and passionate. We prepared fresh pasta, sauces with local ingredients. We picked out fresh ingredients from garden. Everything was hands-on, yet relaxed. After the cooking, we enjoyed our meal together with excellent Chianti wine and professional opera performance. It was more than just a class—it was a cultural immersion, blending history, food, and the joy of sharing a table. I can’t recommend this experience enough. If you’re in Tuscany and want something truly memorable, this is it!

Exploration of All Your Senses! - We were entranced by the house, farm, and the view of the land. Coffee was served and we got to know each other before cooking. We started by harvesting from the garden and fig tree our ingredients. Then into the rustic kitchen with a local woman who taught us traditional cooking: simple, informal, warm, familial, aromatic- PERFECT. Dinner was amazing. The prosecco was excellent. The house Chianti wine the farm makes paired well with our meal. The opera singer just elevated what was a heavenly experience. It was the highlight of our 10 day Tuscany expedition.

Great experience! - We are a young Florentine couple and we had the pleasure of discovering Opera in The Kitchen, an experience that really surprised us. At first glance it might seem designed only for tourists, but it is much more. Lucrezia was fantastic from the first moment: she welcomed us with a sincere smile, making us feel immediately at home, regardless of where we come from. He is a sunny, helpful and incredibly kind person. The experience far exceeded our expectations: the location is lovely, the warm welcome and the masterclass engaging and fun. We brought home not only new culinary skills, but above all a beautiful memory. Highly recommended also for those who, like us, live in Tuscany and want to treat themselves to something special.

Best Dinner Party Ever - So during the winter quiet season Lucrezia the owner sometimes visits friends in the US, and we were lucky enough to meet her here, and even luckier that she agreed to do an Opera in the Kitchen dinner for us and some friends in our home. The overwhelming response from our friends was “Best dinner party ever”. Under Lucrezia’s patient instruction we made the food together, ate our handiwork together, then Lucrezia brought in a fantastic opera singer she knew who just wowed everyone in the room. Somehow 5 hrs flew by and no one wanted to leave. I can only imagine how great this must be at her family’s beautiful estate in Italy. Highly recommended.
