Our opinion

The Culinary Academy at Monteverdi: A Taste of Tuscany

Here, you don't just come to eat, you come to learn. This isn't a classic restaurant, but a total immersion where you get your hands dirty, under the guidance of a chef who knows Tuscan cuisine like the back of her hand. The promise is to leave with both the taste and the know-how.

What you really eat here: the essence of Tuscany

The house focuses on traditional Tuscan cuisine, the kind families make, not the kind found on tourist menus. You will learn to make fresh pasta by hand, a typical starter and a dessert. It's an opportunity to understand the simplicity and richness of local products, under the guidance of Chef Giancarla Bodoni. She is the one who will teach you the right techniques to recreate the flavors of this region.

The setting reflects the experience: authentic and intimate. Housed in the village's old school, a stone building full of history, you will cook in a modern teaching kitchen, equipped with individual stations. The atmosphere is friendly, far from impersonal grand dining rooms. Imagine an herb garden just nearby, and sometimes even workshops under a pergola, with a view over the Val d'Orcia. It's rustic, chic, and it smells of earth and traditions.

Why this table over another: a unique experience

If you're looking for a culinary experience that goes beyond a simple meal, this is the place to come. This is not a table where you are served, it's a table where knowledge is passed on to you. You won't find an endless menu, but the opportunity to master a few classics of Tuscan cuisine, in an exclusive setting with quality instruction. It's an immersion into the local culture, not just a tasting.

The menu

Second course

  • Cooking Class €250

Forget the classic restaurant: here, you put on an apron in the village's old school to master the knack of fresh pasta making facing the Val d'Orcia. It's a real budget, but the teaching from chef Giancarla Bodoni is incomparable!
