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.

- Benedetta is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about food, and made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. It was my first time making fresh pasta, and thanks to Benedetta’s clear instructions, we made delicious ricotta ravioli, tagliatelle, plin, tiramisù, and bagnetto verde. It was such a happy, relaxing afternoon, and the best part was sitting down together to enjoy the fresh homemade meal we had prepared. It felt like sharing lunch with family. It was also such a joy to meet Benedetta’s adorable mamma, who made the experience even more special. I highly recommend Benedetta to anyone looking for a true Italian cooking class full of passion, tradition, warmth, and amazing food. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
- We had a wonderful cooking experience with Benedetta at her house. She teached us how to make filled eggs, Ravioli and Tiramisu. I have written down the recipes and will definitely make it at home. It was very nice to sit at her dinner tabel to eat our own house made Italian food together with Benedetta, her mother Grande Mama and daughter. We highly recommend her cooking class.
- We were received very warmly and hospitably by the hostess and Nonna. A relaxed afternoon followed in which the steps of making fresh ravioli were explained. The afternoon flew by. Many thanks, Bernadette and Nonna.
- We had an exceptional evening at Benedetta's! A warm, family-like, and yet very professional welcome. I had never had such an experience. I have celiac disease, so gluten is strictly forbidden for me, and Benedetta (notified in advance) adapted the menu to be compatible with this constraint, while providing a delicious and local meal for our small group of five. The sharing was joyful, simple, and respectful. Her mother and daughter participated in the preparations and the meal, and we loved the atmosphere of this delicious dinner with rich interactions. A huge thank you!!!
- Unforgettable evening at Benedetta's: excellent cuisine, very friendly contact with Benedetta, her daughter Zoé, and her mother Luisa. 100% recommended experience.

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.
