Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

Shared Experience
Your experience

    Let’s begin our culinary journey with the irresistible pizzonte, traditional fried pizzas stuffed with peppers, eggs, selected cured meats, and local cheeses, served with my homemade bread. For the first course, you’ll be surprised by pasta alla chitarra, prepared with the traditional "Lu carrature" tool, topped with homemade tomato sauce and enriched with carefully selected meats. All of this will be perfectly paired with Montepulciano DOC wine, in both the Cerasuolo and Rosso varieties, to enhance each dish. We’ll finish with my secret tiramisu. For a truly unique experience, you’ll enjoy everything outdoors, immersed in a romantic atmosphere in our garden.

    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!
