I was so tired and came to Lucca for a rest and then to learn Italian at LIS, but first, this time with Cesarine. It was perfect. Her home is stunning, the preparation all done and the switch between English and Italian exactly what I had hoped for. At the end there was more than I could eat, so that's my food for the day and I will try another course soon. Italian food is not complicated, but it needs to be taught properly and slowly: this course did both.

This is an excellent experience and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Marco and Maria are both very friendly and make you feel right at home. The appetizers are not only delicious but seem to be easy enough to try and make at home. The wine was great! We left feeling like we had made new friends. We thoroughly enjoyed our night. Thank you Maria and Marco for having us in your lovely home.
