Shared Experience
Your experience
- Traditional mix appetizers
Welcome to my home in the heart of Turin, where you will be welcomed for a unique dining experience inspired by the Piedmontese tradition of the merenda sinoira. This cold meal, usually eaten around 5 p.m. and extended until dinnertime, is considered the mother of all apericena in the world!
I will guide you through a selection of traditional dishes prepared with high-quality local ingredients, such as cured meats and cheeses typical of the region, accompanied by freshly baked bread and breadsticks. I will also show you how to prepare some of the dishes, so that you can take home with you the techniques and recipes to replicate this unique experience. I look forward to a special evening of tasting and great company in the heart of Turin.

- My vermouth outing wasn’t what I expected, and it was better: I was the only guest, and got to spend time with Benedetta, her mother, and her daughter. They were each wonderful company, and welcoming in their own ways; it was truly special ☺️ Of course, the food and drinks were great, and it was fun to learn about some new local things happening in the world of vermouth-making. I hope to visit again…
- I took this course with my dad and it was a beautiful experience! Benedetta and her wonderful family welcomed us and made us feel at ease, and we learned so many things about pasta! Thanks again! ❤️
- Le Cesarine brings families together. It is far more than just a culinary experience; it is about sharing cultures and forging friendships. Thanks to Le Cesarine, we met Benedetta. She taught us how to make fantastic homemade pasta and a delicious tiramisu. But that wasn't all: yesterday, we found ourselves at her home—along with la mamma and Zoe—spending a wonderful Venezuelan evening together. Thank you, Cesarine, and thank you, Benedetta: you turned our trip to Turin into an unforgettable memory.
- Benedetta is a very special person with a special family…Zoé e la nonna. She is an excellent teacher of not only cooking but the culinary traditions of Piedmont. You can feel her joy and her love for what she does and how she connects with the many guests that come to her house. Zoé is an excellent teacher of games too! Together with la nonna, I enjoyed a most special and memorable evening. The food is delicious and I feel I can replicate this once I return home. What a lovely way to nourish people’s hearts as well as their appetites!
- A wonderful experience in the daily life of an Italian family. A big thank you to Benedetta, the nonna, and Zoé for teaching us the art of pasta and introducing us to the Turin lifestyle. We recommend this experience without hesitation!

Where
Benedetta
Cesarina from 2018Location: Turin (TO) Languages: Italian, French, EnglishSeductive, regal, and a little French — that’s Turin. There’s always something to do here: from the Mole Antonelliana to the Reggia di Venaria, from chocolate treats to a special dinner... at my house. I’ve nurtured a passion for the culinary arts since I was little, growing up surrounded by good food and traditional Piedmontese recipes, always prepared with fresh produce from the local markets. Simplicity, a light touch, and excellent ingredients are the foundation of my cooking. I also love blending tradition with a touch of originality and innovation — a passion that comes naturally to me, thanks to my background in art and design, which is also my profession.
