- Tiramisù
For Italians, the love of pasta is something that comes from within, it is a feeling that cannot be ignored. It is not just about eating, but about something that touches the deepest chords of Italian emotionality. Pasta brings us together around the table, makes us happy and proud of our roots. It is difficult to explain this to someone who is not Italian, but I will try to convey some of this passion and teach you the right way to prepare and season pasta.
We will work together on creating fresh pasta, both filled and unfilled, using seasonal ingredients and sauces that are easy to replicate at home. This will be accompanied by a welcome drink, appetizers, merriment and laughter. There will be no shortage of tiramisu, which we will make together during the class.

- I could not have asked for a better host, Antonella was AMAZING!!! She was so warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable about all things cooking. I had such a beautiful afternoon/ evening with her. It truly was a highlight of my trip.
- Our time spent with Antonella and her family was priceless to us siblings. It was our first time to our heritage roots. To eat and watch her make our local regional food and receive and education in the process was worth it all. We highly recommend this experience if you are going to Reggio Calabria.
- Our evening with Cesarina Antonella was everything we hoped for and more. We received a warm welcome to her home. She truly went to great lengths to give us an authentic food experience, with each ingredient selected regionally- keeping with what people directly from Reggio Calabria would come to expect. There were so many dishes and courses we could not count. Everything was made by hand and was of exquisite taste. She even accommodated for my wife’s vegan vegetarian diet. Conversation was fun and we learned more about the city than we could have possibly gotten from a tour. This was truly a special night and one we will never forget!
- My friend and I booked a cooking class with Antonella and it was amazing. Not only is she very knowledgeable and excellent at engaging and including us in the cooking process, but her warmth and generosity was amazing. We cooked, we shared stories, we laughed, and we sat down and shared our meal together. It was definitely a family type experience, and one I will cherish for the remainder of my life.
- We had a fabulous experience with our Calabrian hosts for a 4 course dinner. We got to see momma make the food in front of us. Their hospitality was the best. We were treated like family. The food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and appreciate our local family.

Where
Antonella
Cesarina from 2018Location: Reggio Calabria Languages: Italian and EnglishIn the heart of the Mediterranean, in the deep south of Italy, lies a corner of light, sea, and poetry. We are in Reggio Calabria, where its waterfront is one of the most scenic and beautiful promenades in our peninsula, offering the scent of the sea, views of the unmistakable silhouette of Mount Etna, and the evening sunset over the strait. Just steps from the historic center, we meet Antonella. Our Cesarina welcomes us into her cozy home with a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea. During her cooking classes, Antonella shares typical Calabrian recipes: from pasta rigorously handmade, like "maccheroni al ferretto," bursting with the colors and flavors of the land and sea, to cured meats accompanied by typical preserves of vegetables, eggplants, and other vegetables preserved in oil, and sun-dried tomatoes, ending with traditional desserts.
