Dining experience: take a seat and enjoy an authentic Italian meal with a local Cesarina
In Florence, between the 15th and 17th centuries during the Medici family dynasty, large bonfires were lit on St. Lawrence's Day, mainly to cook vast amounts of beef, which was distributed free to the local population.
It is said that at one banquet, some English knights were present who, after tasting the meat, began to call it by its current Anglo-Saxon name: "beef steak", which became "bistecca" (steak) in Italian. You will be able to immerse yourself in a typical Florentine Sunday lunch or dinner: a traditional starter, surprise first course, steak with a side of beans or roast potatoes and radicchio salad. We will conclude everything with the classic cantuccini cookies and Vin Santo wine.

- Donatella was very hospitable, gracious, and professional. We had the time of our lives and learned to make several dishes. In the end, we were able to each our masterpieces and left absolutely full! She is a wonderful hostess and chef!
- We enjoyed our time with you so much, Donatella! The pasta and tiramisu dishes you taught us were delicious and easy to make. Out of all the meals we had while visiting Italy, what we made with you was honestly the best we had. In fact, our experience was so good that we ordered a pasta maker even before we left Italy. Thank you for inviting us into your home to have a wonderful time and teaching us something we can enjoy for years to come.
- Donatella is a warm and welcoming person, and a great cook and teacher. We had a wonderful time making tiramisu and pasta. I wholeheartedly recommend booking an evening with Donatella.
- Donatella, was an amazing host as well as a fantastic chef. We had a great evening of food, wine and conversation. We were able to experience home cooking and cuisine that you can not find in the restaurants. Her home was a great break from the restaurant life. We highly recommend Donatella for a great local experience.
- Donatella was an amazing host! We have a large family with 4 kids between 13 and 3, and she made us feel so welcome in her home. When my 3 year old starting getting bored, she gave him tasks to do to keep him occupied. The class itself was so much fun. We loved the authenticity of learning in her home, and the final results were absolutely delicious. It was one of the highlights of our trip for sure and I highly recommend Donatella
