Ciao! Benvenuti!
My name is Ileana...and in 2016 I left my job in advertising in NYC to pursue my culinary dreams and fresh pasta passion with professional training in Florence & Bologna. I’ve been teaching fresh pasta ever since and would love to share that with you!
Make pasta with me in Florence, tour the farmer’s market with me and taste Tuscan specialities, find inspiration for seasonal recipes & shop my pasta tools to bring a taste of The Dolce Vita Experience to your casa
