Lambrusco Bensone cake Tagliatelle al ragu (noodles with meat sauce)Tortellini (meat or spinach ravioli)Francesca grew up in a restaurant (literally!), one of the first Michelin star restaurants in Italy. Her family has owned and run the restaurant since 1936. Hence her love for food, cooking and eating started at a very young age. Working in this family-owned, Michelin-starred restaurant for many years taught Francesca everything there is to know about ingredients, cooking techniques, plating, serving and hosting. Two years ago, Francesca decided to leave the restaurant and start something on her own. She now she runs a B&B in addition to offering private culinary experiences to share her food and culture.
Francesca says she loves hosting people from all over the world, “I'm really curious to understand the different ways of living, eating, and thinking.”
"And we’ve done a lot of them, across Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. This was really an unforgettable experience for us. Francesca welcoming us into her home and teaching us so much about the region and local food. The food you make in classes like this is usually pretty good, but here it was amazing - really next level , “oh my god this is good” quality food. It was also a lot of fun to taste a couple Lambrusco, some homemade liqueur, and a couple other snacks in between main courses. Worth every penny and a whole lot more, not just because it’s enough food for lunch and dinner. We will be sending a lot of our friends to come visit Francesca and take her class!"
