Milanese cuisine and cuisine from the southern Italian islands

We are Gia and Francesca, two lifelong friends and Cesarine united by a deep passion for cooking. For years, we have been cooking together for friends and family, turning every culinary experience into a true moment of conviviality. Our backgrounds are different but complementary: one of us worked in tourism on a small Sicilian island, learning to appreciate and highlight the best of Mediterranean produce; the other, a language teacher and traveler, has enriched her taste through encounters with international cuisines and traditions. We love Lombard and Piedmontese cuisine, but we also bring flavors from Puglia, Naples, and Trentino, reflecting our roots. We welcome our guests in the heart of Milan’s Navigli district, in two nearby and well-connected apartments: one larger, ideal for groups, and one smaller and more creative, known as “the artist’s apartment.” Here, we share recipes, stories, and the genuine joy of dining together.
