- A friend and I were in Reggio Calabria and wanted to take a pasta making class. Antonella welcomed us into her home and taught us how to make beautiful and tasty pasta but more than that we talked, we laughed, it was like discovering you have Italian relatives and they invite you into their home. I finally met someone who could answer my questions about European flour. I also learned you can freeze pomegranate seeds and put them in a glass of Prosecco. That was a life lesson. I highly recommend taking a class with Antonella to anyone who wishes to cook and eat a fresh cooked authentic Italian meal while having fun at the same time
- Our time spent with Antonella and her family was priceless to us siblings. It was our first time to our heritage roots. To eat and watch her make our local regional food and receive and education in the process was worth it all. We highly recommend this experience if you are going to Reggio Calabria.
- Our evening with Cesarina Antonella was everything we hoped for and more. We received a warm welcome to her home. She truly went to great lengths to give us an authentic food experience, with each ingredient selected regionally- keeping with what people directly from Reggio Calabria would come to expect. There were so many dishes and courses we could not count. Everything was made by hand and was of exquisite taste. She even accommodated for my wife’s vegan vegetarian diet. Conversation was fun and we learned more about the city than we could have possibly gotten from a tour. This was truly a special night and one we will never forget!
- My friend and I booked a cooking class with Antonella and it was amazing. Not only is she very knowledgeable and excellent at engaging and including us in the cooking process, but her warmth and generosity was amazing. We cooked, we shared stories, we laughed, and we sat down and shared our meal together. It was definitely a family type experience, and one I will cherish for the remainder of my life.
- Incredible! Best cooking course I've ever done. Antonella and her family were very welcoming and provided my partner and I will an evening full of pasta and passion. She was very patient and a wonderful teacher. We opted for the course that focused on colouring pasta with natural dyes and I'm glad we did. It was very unique and creative, I never thought we cold make ravioli roses but we did. She truly went above and beyond to provide us with a memorable experience. The evening finished with the whole family and us sitting down, sharing stories, laughs and eating a pasta feast. Cannot recommend this experience enough. Nick and Elly from Australia.

Antonella
Cesarina from 2018Location: Reggio Calabria Languages: Italian and EnglishIn the heart of the Mediterranean, in the deep south of Italy, lies a corner of light, sea, and poetry. We are in Reggio Calabria, where its waterfront is one of the most scenic and beautiful promenades in our peninsula, offering the scent of the sea, views of the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Etna, and the evening sunset over the strait. Just steps from the historic center, we meet Antonella. Our Cesarina welcomes us into her cozy home with a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea. During her cooking classes, Antonella shares typical Calabrian recipes: from pasta rigorously handmade, like "maccheroni al ferretto," bursting with the colors and flavors of the land and sea, to cured meats accompanied by typical preserves of vegetables, eggplants, and other vegetables preserved in oil, and sun-dried tomatoes, ending with traditional desserts.
