Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
I offer you an authentic cooking class to learn how to prepare an iconic dish of Abruzzo: "pallotte cacio e ovo," served with homemade tomato sauce and a special focaccia. We will complete the menu with bruschetta with seasonal vegetables and a sampling of typical Abruzzo cold cuts and cheeses. Everything will be accompanied by an excellent bottle of Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC, an excellence of our territory. The pallotte, made with pecorino and caciotta cheeses from the Abruzzo mountains, tell a story of true flavors and peasant traditions passed down through generations.
Stefania was an amazing hostess and teacher. We felt extremely welcome in her beautiful house. She has a passion for cooking and was happy to share her family recipes. The food was delicious and it was an amazing experience!

We had such fun in our cooking class with Stefania. We were a mixed group of 3 generations and thoroughly enjoyed her & her husband Marcelo’s beautiful home and our dinner together on their private patio. We learned how to make pasta, gnocchi and tiramisu, and they were all delicious! We felt very lucky to be invited into their beautiful home and highly recommend this class.
Wonderful cooking class!! -
My mother and I just returned from a wonderful evening with Stefania and Marcello. They were both very welcoming and made us feel like we were part of the family. We greeted each other with hand shakes and said good bye with hugs! the food was delicious and the conversation flowed easily. Stefania explained how she was preparing things and answered all of our questions. She let us help cut the pasta, too. I would highly recommend spending an evening at Stefania’s table. You will not be disappointed. Just be sure to arrive hungry!

A beautiful evening full of Italian hospitality and culinary secrets!
As part of a cooking class by Cesarine, we had the pleasure of spending a wonderful evening with Stefania Chiola and her husband in Montesilvano—and this experience will stay with us for a long time.
With great patience, passion, and motivation, Stefania initiated us into the secrets of Italian cuisine. With her warm nature, she showed us step-by-step how to make authentic Italian pasta dough. We also got to prepare gnocchi ourselves, and to top it all off, there was a delicious tiramisu.
While Stefania pampered us culinarily, her husband, a trained sommelier, ensured excellent service and the perfect wine pairings with his expert and attentive manner.
It was far more than just a cooking class: we learned a lot, ate wonderfully, laughed, and gained a very special insight into the Italian culture of living and enjoyment.
A heartfelt thank you to Stefania and her husband for this beautiful evening. An experience that we can recommend to everyone without reservation!

Amazing experience with Stefania - very warm welcome, fantastic food, and great opportunity to witness the true Abruzzo cuisine! We were by a big family with kids of different age, and thanks to hospitality and the way the course goes, everyone was engaged and comfortable. Must also note the beautiful, safe garden making it an ideal environment. And of course the food - absolutely delicious! Highly recommend - and grazie mille!

My cuisine reflects regional traditions and features original recipes passed down from my skilled mother. From homemade pasta to pizzas, focaccias, bread, and various desserts, my repertoire is diverse. I've taken bread-making courses with a keen focus on different flours and their strength. I consider myself proficient in first courses, and I enjoy creating convivial moments enriched by an excellent selection of wines from my cellar!
