About this tour
Roll up your sleeves in central Lucca to learn how to shape fresh pasta and layer tiramisù alongside a local cook. This two-and-a-half-hour class strips away the mystique of Italian home cooking, letting you work through each step hands-on before sitting down to eat what you've made, paired with regional wine or aperitivo. Families welcome—kids can actively participate and learn the techniques passed down through generations.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a working kitchen space where a local guide walks you through two signature dishes. Expect flour on your hands as you knead and shape pasta, then move into assembling tiramisù layer by layer. The guide talks you through timing, technique, and the 'why' behind each step—this isn't a performance to watch, but a skill to practise. Once everything's ready, you'll gather at a table to eat together with wine or an aperitivo, tasting your own work.
