    Upfront confession that my experience was part of a vacation package, but I am so thankful it was…read moreincluded. We received a cooking demonstration from the owner and chef Matteo Sciarri. Matteo was humble, funny and informative; sharing tips on how we could recreate the dishes he created for us. Our starter was a savory pumpkin flan. Chef Matteo made fresh pici pasta with a spectacular garlic and green tomato sauce topped with hot pepper (capsicum) strands. I've made my own pasta before, so I know it is not as easy as he made it seem, but it has inspired me to try again, because fresh pasta cannot be beat! The restaurant is intimate, and the inside is absolutely gorgeous. The teal color walls against the exposed stone is eye catching. If you can, grab a seat by the functioning well; the running water is so soothing as you dine (or it might make you want to use the toilet a lot!)

    We had a cooking class with Mateo and it was FANTASTIC!! We had the WHOLE resturaunt to ourselves…read moreand 1 other couple - FROM THE US!!! We could not believe it!! They were lovely. Mateo really took the time to explain how to cook specialty items, and the importance of knowing your ingredients and knowing your equipment. He also detailed how "where" you live can cause a need for adjustments in cooking temps & times. I am so grateful for his motto of "no secrets in the kitchen". For him, it is all about sharing and collaboration. We started with popcorn sprinkled w/ paprika. I have never had it like that before and it was so light and tasty. The 2nd course was a pumpkin flan. He taught us the rule of balancing - 4. 1) 2oz eggs, 2) 2oz kitchen cream(or heavy cream), 3) 2oz milk and 4) 2oz pumpkin (or fig or veg, etc.). It was SO GOOD. Topped with sweet peppers shaved like saffron, a pistachio crema, & pistachio pieces. Little dallops of basil & pistachio gelee circled the little flan disc as pops of brightly flavored bursts. OMG!! Delectable! Paired with a rich Sangeovese, it was amazing!! Then we moved on to the 3rd course. Pici pasta. The pasta was superb! Fresh, fresh, fresh! with a home made green tomatoe and elephant ear garlic sauce. A deep "Super Tuskan" red to accompany was perfection. For dessert we had Cantucci and Vinsanto. What a lovely night!
