Your experience
- Tasty savory pie
- Pumpkin Tortelli (homemade pasta)
- Jam tart
I have selected a menu that represents the Parma tradition and my family's cuisine. To start, a delicious savory pie appetizer, followed by tortelli stuffed with pumpkin or herbs. Finally, we will conclude with my tart, prepared with 'picchelle' plum jam, typical of our area, or with black cherries.
Each dish will be prepared strictly by me. I am waiting for you to share this tasty culinary journey!

- Our experience was wonderful! Maria made very different dishes than the usual pasta. We loved the appetizer, meatballs, eggplant, wines and cherry tart. Maria and her husband were very warm and welcoming. I would highly recommend this food experience.
- What a great afternoon we had with Cristina and Enzo in their amazing kitchen! We loved every moment of their charming hospitality. Cristina let us help with making the pasta. Her kitchen is downright dreamy. I highly recommend this experience and know that it will probably be the highlight of your trip to Italy.
- Fantastic experience!! Christina was warm and welcoming. We have a great morning cooking in her kitchen!
- We have been touring through Italy for 2 weeks and seen many gorgeous cathedrals and food tastings but nothing compared to this tour! What an authentic, fun, tasty experience!! We loved our Cesarina so much! She took us to all the local shops to collect the food we were going to cook, every detail of our meal was hand picked from local vendors and we got insider knowledge of the choices that were best to shop at. Then we arrived to her home and were blown away by how beautiful it was with all the authentic Italian decorations and family style kitchen. We made the most incredible meal and really enjoyed getting to know our Cesarina and her husband and their lives as well as her cooking. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone! We would eat at Christina's home every day of the week!! Thank you!
- very nice welcome and excellent regional meal. Thank you.
