Shared Experience
Your experience
A dish that smells of the sea and home: "Potatoes, rice, and mussels" encapsulates the soul of Puglia. The pan combines the flavor of fresh mussels, the softness of potatoes, and the simplicity of rice, brought together by olive oil and the heat of the oven. It is a convivial dish, born from popular tradition, which conveys the authentic taste of the South and the ability to transform humble ingredients into a masterpiece of flavors. I look forward to sharing with you my love for preparing this dish, which is beloved by the people of Bari.

- This was a great hands on experience but so much more! An opportunity to discuss traditions? Foods, and daily life of Italian families in Italy. I would highly recommend this experience.
- Great experience with Annarita. We enjoyed preparing the dishes and the meal together with the family. Highly recommend this for an authentic experience.
- Amazing tour and the best excursion of our cruise. The Cesarine family of three generations of women were magnificent and very patient teaching us how to make the pasta. It’s an authentic experience and the home is emasculate.
- This was by far one of the best experiences we had in Italy. Anna Rita was such a gracious host. She welcomed us into her home and shared her recipes for orrecchiette and tiramisu and we made it ourselves. She and her daughter were very patient in guiding us. And then we ate a beautiful family style meal that included appetisers and homemade vino. If you have the chance this is a most wonderful experience that you will remember for a lifetime
- Excellent! Engaging, informative, and fun. Annarita more than gracious to host in her home adding an authentic cultural experience. Highly recommend.

Where
Annarita
Cesarina from 2025Location: Bari (BA) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy name is Annarita, and I’m a Cesarina from Bari—a city where cooking is a true daily ritual, made of simplicity, familiar aromas, and flavors that tell the story of who we are. I love preparing traditional dishes from Bari and the Puglia region—recipes that speak of family, sharing, and the rhythm of the seasons.I use simple, local ingredients, carefully selected, because for me, cooking is above all an expression of love for my land. Welcoming people to my table and making them feel at home is one of the things that brings me the most joy. Through my cooking, I want to offer an authentic experience, filled with genuine flavors and traditions passed down from generation to generation.
