This experience was absolutely unforgettable! It was my very first time in Italy, and taking this cooking class made the trip even more special. The chef welcomed us with incredible warmth and hospitality, teaching us how to prepare authentic pasta step by step. Giacomo not only shared his knowledge and passion for Italian cuisine, but also went above and beyond by preparing a beautiful surprise for my girlfriend’s birthday. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made the day truly unique. The whole experience exceeded all expectations — from the hands-on cooking to the stories, the atmosphere, and the genuine kindness we received. I cannot recommend this enough to anyone visiting Italy. Definitely a must-do, and I know it won’t be my last time here!

We had a very great time with Giacomo and Alex. We felt very welcoming in his place. Giacomo is very knowledgable and could teach us a lot about pasta. We would book it again! :)

Yep, this should be a 10 star evening! My husband and I had a wonderful evening learning to make pasta with Giacomo. My husband Terry loves to make pasta, but spending an evening with an expert pasta chef brought so much more knowledge and technique. We made 2 doughs + piadina. Piadina is a totally a new dish for us, but I’m certain it will become a weekly event. We absolutely loved spending the evening learning and talking with Giacomo & Alex, and would take any other cooking class with them if we have the opportunity. This class was definitely the highlight of our trip.

We had a wonderfull evening with Giacomo and Alex. Giacomo is truly a masterchef. We made different kind of pasta's and piadina. Giacomo is not only a very good chef, but also a person with storytelling skills about pasta and Italia in general. After making the pasta by ourself, Giacomo made diner (from our pasta), with homemade ragu and tiramisu as a dessert. It was delicious! We highly reccomend booking this home cookingclass. You wont be dissapointend!

Cesarina from 2023Location: Santarcangelo di Romagna    Languages: Italian and English
I am originally from Cervia, but I moved to Rimini at the age of 25, and I have been living in Santarcangelo di Romagna for over 15 years, just a few kilometers away from Rimini and the sea. Santarcangelo is a lively inland town, full of commercial and dining activities, with a historic center particularly appreciated for its architecture and scenic beauty. I decided to dedicate myself full time to my lifelong passion: traditional and popular Romagna cuisine. Today, I am a professional sfoglino (pasta maker) for some famous local restaurants, and I enjoy experimenting with the many and varied local ingredients to create the best flavors. I love sharing my passion and my continuous search for excellent local raw materials with my friends and everyone who wants to experience the surprising sensations of Romagna cuisine. For this reason, I decided to open the doors of my home to the guests of Cesarine, confirming the hospitality of our territory, Romagna!
