Private dining experiences
A private dining experience with Lalla is about more than a meal: it creates time and space to share. Whether you are staying on Elba or in a villa elsewhere in Tuscany, I bring the experience to you.
Each dish brings Mediterranean tradition together with a contemporary touch, always guided by carefully chosen ingredients and balanced flavours.

About me
I am proudly Emilian and have spent more than twenty years working and building businesses across food and wine. My path has been shaped by training, research and hands-on experience.
Land, sea and a genuine love of cooking give us the privilege of creating truly happy moments around the table.
I choose ingredients with care, favouring local and organic produce whenever possible and working with producers who care deeply about their craft.
For guests discovering regional Italian cooking, I create a true sense of place through local ingredients and wines—whether the table is on Elba, along the Tuscan coast or elsewhere in the region.
Tradition and innovation
My cooking is rooted in Italian regional traditions while remaining attentive to the way we eat today. Experience is the foundation; curiosity keeps it moving forward.

How it works

01
We shape the occasion
We begin with your occasion, the atmosphere you have in mind and every guest’s tastes or dietary requirements.
If needed, I will visit the location in advance.

Preparation
I source the ingredients and arrive with everything needed to cook and complete the longer preparations.
I cook in the kitchen available at your location and bring my own equipment whenever required.

The experience
Your only task is to enjoy the experience and the company around your table.

After service
At the end of service, I clean and leave the work area in order.
What remains is the pleasure of a shared table, with nothing else to think about.
Fresh-pasta class
A hands-on cooking experience in your villa or holiday home, designed to make Italian food approachable and engaging.
Starting with fresh pasta made by hand, the class combines technique, respect for ingredients and the pleasure of making something together. Learning becomes a relaxed, convivial way to spend quality time.
