Cucina Casalinga is a home-based Italian cooking school that offers daytime and evening cooking classes. Homestyle, hands-on lessons are the specialty of Sally Maraventano who opened her school more than 25 years ago in her small kitchen on Sharp Hill road in Wilton. Today classes, followed by sit-down luncheon or dinner with wine and dessert are held in Sally's state-of-the-art kitchen on Drum Hill Road in Wilton. A wood-fired Tuscan oven from Reggello Italy sits on the patio with a formal herb garden and fountain near by. In warm weather students dine al fresco on the patio surrounded by bougainvillea, fig and lemon trees - a little bit of Italy, in Connecticut.
