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

Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Homemade bread

I look forward to welcoming you into my kitchen for a lesson dedicated to the art of handmade bread. Together we’ll prepare a remarkable loaf which, as it bakes, puffs up until it turns into a real ‘balloon’: a little spectacle of traditional technique and magic. I’ll guide you step by step to discover the secrets of the dough and the proving process, so you can recreate it at home too. Once ready, you can fill the bread with selected ingredients, creating whatever combination you prefer. The experience will be accompanied by a glass of wine, delicious tastings and a convivial atmosphere – perfect for relaxing, chatting and sharing the pleasure of good food. No cooking experience is necessary: all you need is the desire to have fun and get your hands dirty!

We had such a memorable visit with you and your team. You are a charming and lovely host. Your home is beautiful and your culinary skills are amazing. Grazie mille once again, Gayle & John

John - 

We had a wonderful time at Francesca’s villa! To be honest, my husband spents more time enjoying the wine than actually focusing on the cooking recipe, but we had an absolute blast anyway. Francesca was a fantastic and incredibly patient host. Beautiful place, great food, and a very fun atmosphere!

Susan - 

Wonderful evening! Youssef was so happy and had the best time ever. A special thank you to Gabriele for how he managed and made my son laugh, it truly touched our hearts. Golden people. Thank you so much for everything!"

My wife and I chose this cooking class based on the wonderful reviews we found, and it completely exceeded our expectations. In a peaceful villa just outside Civitavecchia, Francesca and her team welcomed us with genuine warmth. We began with a lovely aperitivo on the beautiful patio, a place that already feels special and full of charm. Francesca told us they are planning to add a pool in the future, which will make this little corner of paradise even more extraordinary. We then moved into her incredible kitchen, with its beautiful marble floors that immediately caught our attention. With Francesca’s clear guidance and passion, we prepared every dish from scratch using fresh, local ingredients. The entire experience was fun, authentic, and filled with wonderful stories, cooking tips, and laughter. We ended the day sitting together, enjoying the meal we had created, paired with delicious wines and great conversation. A truly unforgettable Italian experience. We cannot recommend Francesca’s cooking class enough.

Cesarina from 2024Location: Civitavecchia (RM)    Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, French
Hi, I'm Francesca! Originally from Naples but now living in Rome, I welcome my guests to a villa nestled among olive and fruit trees in the countryside of Civitavecchia. "Those who cook with love nourish more than just the body" – this philosophy guides every dish I prepare. Together, we’ll share the joy of picking vegetables from the garden, while discovering stories and traditions dating back to the early 1900s, offering a unique and authentic experience.
