Cinema at the table: the Italy of Pietro Germi

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

We are in the 1950s and 60s, when pasta became the main food on Italian tables: bucatini, maccheroni, spaghetti...as long as it was pasta, always served with tomato sauce.

In this context, Italian cinema reached its peak, along with the vision of the Bel Paese. During this time, Pietro Germi's two most successful films were released in Italy, while in America, a unique perception of "Italianness" emerged.

The iconic dish overseas became "spaghetti meatballs," which we offer you as tradition dictates, with the components cooked separately.

Our cooking class features egg spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatballs, aiming to recreate the atmosphere of Italy from those years at the table.
