- Our cooking class with Maria was fabulous! My family and I were a total of 10 people for the class and lunch and Maria welcomed us into her home with such warmth and friendliness. She’s an exceptional teacher. We created homemade pasta that was just delicious. It was a true highlight of our trip. I recommend enthusiastically to do this class for your next trip.
- A casa di Mariolina è stato come entrare a casa di una amica conosciuta da sempre. Oltre al clima familiare, le ricette proposte sono state sfiziose e facilmente replicabili. Sicuramente un’esperienza da rifare, da sola o in compagnia, certa del calore con cui Mariolina accoglie le persone. Un grazie di cuore!
- Fantastic evening in a home of a wonderful person, with amazing food and drinks. It was an unique and amazing experience. We will repeat.
- Maria was a wonderful host who made us feel so welcome in her home. Maria was a great teacher and made the experience so much fun.

Where

Cesarina from 2023Location: Desenzano del Garda (BS) Languages: Italian and EnglishI really enjoy working in the kitchen and love learning to prepare new dishes, which, along with traditional recipes, are always well-received at my table. I have Neapolitan origins, so those who come to eat at my place usually prefer that cuisine. However, I take pleasure in cooking any kind of recipe: from appetizers, soups, first and second courses of meat and fish, to desserts. All of this is tied to a light and flavorful cuisine, limiting the use of fats and fried foods.
