An Evening with us in our Tuscan Apartment 🇮🇹 Cooking Pasta & Italy Apartment Tour ✨

We know you’re used to seeing us running around different Italian cities, with Matteo spewing cool facts and me stuffing my face with traditional but sometimes questionable food 😂 Today we thought we’d slow things down a bit and have you hang out with us on a relaxing evening in our amazing Lucca apartment 😍 We give you a tour of a somewhat typical Italian Apartment and enjoy some of Matteo's delicious pasta while overlooking the gorgeous piazza below! ✨

About Us:
When we were in our early 20s, chasing our own dreams of living in Europe, we met one night at a pub in Florence...11 months later, we were married! Having been together for 6 years now, we have lived & worked on 3 different continents & even on a cruise ship!
We moved back to Italy to live out one of our biggest dreams - to pull off the Ultimate Italian Road Trip, travelling to all 20 regions of Italy! We will be showcasing the impressive diversity all 20 regions have to offer - from the history, architecture, art, culture, food, traditions and so much more! 🇮🇹

Putting salt in the water when making pasta... I was told the same thing about potatoes (I'm from N.Ireland... we love our potatoes!) So adding salt, causes it to heat quicker but to boil hotter. Also for pasta it limits the gelation of the starch in the pasta and also reduces the stickiness. :)

[@michaelvalente9744]

Hi Matteo & Misha, I cannot understand why your video's don't get hundreds of thousands of views. You should have your own television show. The way you present your videos is amazing. I love Matteo's history stories. Keep up the great work. Michael Valente from Belfast in the North of Ireland.

[@pukacici]

This video made me miss Italy more that I had to have some Pinot with my lunch today 😂. Sending some love from Tampa , FL.

[@alemassa6632]

Hey guys, Ale is here watching you, as always. You are in one of the most beautiful squares (Piazza dell'Anfiteatro), in one of the most beautiful cities (Lucca), in one of the most beautiful regions (Tuscany), in the most beautiful Country in the world (Italy). There couldn't be a better place.

[@user-pf5wv7gp4u]

Hi Guys, we enjoy your "slow" journey through Italy. A quick question: what happened to the car what you guys bought in Sicily? And a suggestion if you end up going back to Florence there is a real hidden treasure, the Opificio delle Pietre Dure museum, a collection of semi-precious stone inlays over the centuries. Incredible beauty in a hardly ever visited museum.

[@nicasiomontecillo6904]

Truly fabulous view! Love your vlog guys! Keep it coming.

[@ingridnh1]

What a lovely evening at home in Lucca! Dinner with a view! ❤ That will be us in May! Can’t wait!!

[@GLeibniz1716]

Tuscany is another world thanks for taking us for the adventure visited Florence last September ready to return! Be safe!

[@fredyair1]

Beautiful apartment. Beautiful evening. Beautiful Lucca.

[@lynnt2361]

What a great apartment and with such an amazing view overlooking the piazza! I love the exposed beams on the ceiling, it gives so much character! As for Matteo's dilemma with the pasta cooking time, it's worldwide. I'm from Canada and it's the same thing, whatever is written on the package for al dente is just a guess...it always needs a few more minutes!

[@sergiopoggetti8021]

beautiful video, thanks for sharing, think what a beautiful memory you will have, the two of you at the window with a glass of Italian wine, eating a plate of fusilli with tomato (without parmesan), in a unique square 🤣🤣🤣

[@Its_the_Whole_Everything]

Love the view..great spot for an apartment

[@Antonella-xz3tx]

Buon San Valentino ❤

[@MrUrvs019]

As soon I came to find out that you have posted a new video, instantly I pressed the like button without even watching it 😂. BTW, I’ll watch it later but Thanks for sharing all the info about travelling. Your videos helped me a lot. Keep up the good work. Best wishes

[@cherylwaite3255]

This was wonderful, our internet has been out for approximately 7 hours, I never clicked so fast lol, love the apartment, the pasta looked delicious, question why do the windows have no screens? thanks for sharing the photos of when you first went to Italy 🇮🇹

[@francescofilippi2824]

The kitchen window has white wooden screens

[@cherylwaite3255]

@@francescofilippi2824 oh thank you, I've always wondered, I just can't see them wow ok I will have to go back and look closer

[@paulfreitag7772]

Nice video! I live in Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily for six months of the year and love it here. I also use the arrabiata sauce when making sauce and use the ground pepperoncino. LOL I've been subscribed to your channel for several years now but don't comment often. You really scored with this apartment! When I lived in Florence two years ago my apartment was 40 yards from Piazza Santa Croce, so beautiful! Gotta have the scarpetta btw!!!! Take care, Paul in Sicily

[@lindacosta1105]

I just had to comment. My father's family came from Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily. They came to US in early 1900's. My father always said how beautiful it was there.

[@paulfreitag7772]

@@lindacosta1105 Yes it is very beautiful!

PIAZZA DELL'ANFITEATRO... ALWAYS THE BEST

[@user-pv5ve2qo6g]

I love sharing your journey. I was in Italy last April and I miss it every day.

[@daviddeveau5101]

I have been to Lucca and I love your view of the piazza. Gorgeous. Lucky you!

[@rosssala]

Great view ❤

[@mikethompson1424]

What a great setting for dinner!!

[@itsmetaran]

The LOCATION! Thank you guys for the amazing video.

[@motechabe]

Nice video!! Have you been to Bologna and/or Verona? If so which one would you pick first for a visit? Grazie 😊

[@andreeastiopu1831]

This video was so cozy and nice! Loved it! 🤗

[@debrasams2362]

Fun video. Love seeing the apartment. Thanks much for sharing.😊

[@RedGermRedGerm]

Next time you’re back in Lucca (and not late for your bus😅), look me up and my wife and I can show you some of the hidden spots in the local mountains.

[@martaaliciabarahonavillatoro]

❤Nice place

[@andreeanecula5293]

Beautiful view 🖼️ (it took me 5 minutes to look for something that look like a view🖼️.... I guess I am getting old HaHa)

[@pile333]

You guys have become nice cooks! 12:50 it would be a nice subject for a painting.

[@PiazzaTalkLucca]

We are happy you enjoyed our city.

[@ninablackwell4792]

Ciao ragazzi! We buy the Barilla pesto here in Australia. Did you know they have one with Chilli? We add some frozen cooked prawns to it and it makes a great one dish pasta. I agree about the al dente...I use the box time as my first check on my timer and invariably it takes another couple of minutes but depending on if you are further cooking the pasta in another pot of sauce, you need the lead time. I like the wine tumbler idea, especially when near the computer! I waited until the end of the video to send my comments hehehe. Non vedo l'ora per il prossimo video.

[@user-su7tb2uf8h]

Suggestion: You posted this video in Jan but everyone is in shorts and tank-tops! My weather app says that's not likely for Lucca in late Jan. It's not a problem to post long after the video is made, but it would help my brain if you added some time of year context. Maybe to the segment titles or the video title or a pinned comment? In addition to your main focus, I also get info about what the place looks like for the time of year, what to wear, what events might be happening.

[@kirkshrum6222]

Cute apartment guys!! Matteo the chef😉 cheers Kirk

[@anrn5303]

@3:49 oh my clothes washed in the bidet? hehehe, bathroom/kitchen sink is more clean... lol

[@mikeyboy72]

What a view, looks perfect guys well done. Do you guys do all your own editing and audio and can you recommend a decent editor to use? Oh btw, pasta should be “duro” “duro” 😆

[@jocelyneboutot5722]

And how was the chianti? Dinner looked delicious, and the view is very special

[@chrisjones6439]

Pasta to the sauce, NEVER sauce to pasta, there are nonnas everywhere in Italy screaming at the telly 😂😂

hi guys! my boyfriend and i will be basing ourselves in the tuscan region for a month but not sure where we should stay. which city did you like the most while going through tuscany??

[@ruthpica9866]

Do you have information on renting that apartment?

[@massimocantarelli4769]

Culinary advice: Philadelphia is good but usually is eaten on bread.. or other variarions… instead of it, try this pasta: “butter, ricotta cheese, and some pepper” .. yes it will be a coloured white pasta.. so without tomatoes.. but LISTEN.. YOU NEED TO TRY IT

[@nimalchaminda1865]

Last summer video right?

[@TheGlobalExpats]

It was the beginning of October! 🤗

[@Gigi_Latrottola]

Di sera finito di mangiare si scende in piazza e vi prendete un bel caffé. Finito si torna a casa e si va a letto. E dopo..., va beh quello non si può dire...🤣

[@vincent4810]

Is it noisy from the piazza in the evenings; when youre trying to sleep?

[@traceytrumbull]

Serious question - washing clothes in the bidet? Given what they are generally used to, ahem, clean, is that a good idea? Perhaps I've misunderstood? Enjoy your travels!

[@giovannimoriggi5833]

Bidet are not like WCs, bidet are like any other sink. If they weren’t clean, we didn’t wash our jewels in there. Of course sinks always need to be regularly washed. Any sink.

[@ReaperOfSouls83]

Nice pasta 🍝❤
