- We were guests of Mrs. Maria for a cooking lesson that turned into a wonderful convivial gathering. Welcomed by her and her son, we tried our hand at making fresh pasta, immersed in stories of Abruzzo traditions. But the real surprise was dinner. Once at the table, joined also by Mrs. Maria’s husband, an unforgettable feast began: a succession of appetizers chosen from local delicacies and their own homemade products, amidst chatter and laughter. What a satisfaction to eat the pasta made with our own hands, seasoned with an excellent tomato sauce! We ended on a high note with a delicious dessert prepared by Maria. But beyond the excellent quality of the ingredients, what struck us most was the atmosphere: thanks to the warmth of Maria and her family, we truly felt at home. A rare welcome that makes this experience unique!
- My family and I had a wonderful experience with the cooking class with Mrs. Maria! It was truly an authentic experience as we had dinner with her family. This was our first cooking class and we learned how to make pasta from scratch and Tiramisu. It taste fantastic and I’m looking forward to making on my own with the recipes given. Thank you so much for allowing us in your home. The hospitality was wonderful as well as the gift! The pictures capture an abundance of memories we will never forget. If you ever wondering to have a cooking class then choose Cesarine with Mrs. Maria! Thanks for the experience!!!❤️
- We had a wonderful evening learning from Maria and sharing a meal in her welcoming home. She was well prepared for us but we did not feel rushed. The cooking we did felt like a natural contribution to the meal (even our teenagers got involved!). Our experience with Maria was one of the highlights of our visit to Rome. Grazie!
- We had Mama Maria and I honestly felt at home from the very beginning. We learnt alot from how to make pasta to the hidden secret of how to make a marriage last longer. It was truly an amazing experience as we had a warm company . One of the best experiences 🙌 ❤️ Thank Mama Maria, Papa Georgia amd Marriam.

Cesarina from 2024Location: Rome (RM) Languages: Italian and EnglishI love preparing first courses with homemade pasta, such as maccheroni alla chitarra, ravioli, and lasagna, along with risottos and dried pasta dishes featuring mushrooms and various vegetables. I have happily experimented with many dishes from Abruzzese cuisine, including ndurciullune, pallotte cacio e ova, and stuffed rabbit. Additionally, whenever I have the chance, I enjoy being inspired by the typical cuisines of Tuscany and Lazio.
