Your experience

As at home is the motto of Cesarina expert Francesca. Designed especially for vegans and those intolerant to gluten, we will make simple and tasty dishes. We will stroll through the villa's vegetable garden, immersing ourselves in the olive and fruit trees. In the kitchen, we will prepare stuffed peppers together with vegetables from the garden. We will also discover an ancient traditional Roman recipe for doughnuts, made with a secret ingredient that makes them unique, even vegan. We will also try our hand at setting a table in perfect Italian style. Each guest will have everything they need for the class.

: Arriving in Civitavecchia and meeting Francesca was an unexpected gift. We weren’t looking for the usual tourist experience, we wanted to feel something real, something deep. And with Francesca, we found more than we could have imagined. Her home, surrounded by olive trees and the scent of the garden, immediately made us feel at home, as though we were part of her family. We learned how to make gnocchi, but what will stay in our hearts is the love with which Francesca guided us, the passion she puts into every dish, every gesture. Her cooking is not just food, it’s a story that enters your soul, it touches you deeply. Francesca is one of those people who should never be forgotten. Anyone lucky enough to know her knows that it’s not just an experience, it’s something that changes you. We can’t wait to bring her to Sydney, to return a little of the love she gave us.
: We were looking for something different, something special, and we found it. Unfortunately, during our trip, we faced a few unexpected challenges: a last-minute change in schedule and a serious family situation that made us feel far from home. Despite all of this, our wonderful Cesarina Francesca was truly a lifesaver. With her warmth, patience, and kindness, she handled everything with ease, making us feel comfortable right away. We had seen other similar experiences in Civitavecchia, but none stood out like this one. What made the difference was Francesca – her genuine smile and kind-hearted nature made this experience unforgettable. Her cooking is an embrace of authenticity and flavor, the kind of food that feels like home, comforting and full of love. Every dish is made with such care, and you can taste it in every bite. Francesca deserves to be truly recognized for her exceptional cuisine, which is infused with passion and heart. I highly recommend that anyone organizing these types of experiences give more spotlight to people like her, who offer something that goes beyond just a meal: a real-life experience. Warm greetings from Florida, Gregory and Betty.
: We were on a cruise that stopped in Civitivacchia and wanted to have a local experience as we have already been to Rome. This cooking experience with Cesarine Francesca was amazing. She and her assistant Greta met us at a spot 15 minutes walk from the cruise ship pier, then a short walk to the local market area. We discussed our menu options, bought fresh fish, sausage and meat for the pasta sauce, some fresh vegetables, and then off we went to her home. It’s in a beautiful location high above the town and harbor. We made fresh pasta the old fashioned way, no machines, a special type of cookie for dessert (actually part of dessert) and prepared the seafood. We were warmly welcomed by her family, so much so that we quickly felt like we had known them for years. The food was amazing, but the hospitality and warmth was even more special. Please don’t hesitate to book this experience!
: Some experiences stay with you forever, and our food tour in Civitavecchia with Francesca, our Cesarina, and her family was one of them. It wasn’t just a walk through the flavors and streets of the city—it was a journey into the heart of Italy, into the warmth that only truly genuine people can share. Each stop was something special, each taste told us a story. But what moved us the most was the kindness and passion that Francesca and her family put into everything they do. There was no pretense, just a heartfelt love for their land and a desire to share it. Leaving without them will be hard: we felt welcomed not as visitors but as friends. We’ll carry with us not only the flavors but also the emotions of a day that deeply touched our hearts. Thank you, Francesca, for giving us a memory we will treasure forever. – Jeff and Janice
