- My daughter and I loved making homemade pasta with Antonella. We made tagliatelle with ragu using her fresh herbs from her garden. Since I had made pasta previously, Antonella decided that we would also make ravioli with burrata, lemon zest, parmigiano and thyme. We then proceeded to make tiramisu. She totally changed my opinion about tiramisu - it was delicious!! We enjoyed the meal with fresh oil olive and wine. Antonella and her husband, Cosimo, were delightful. If going to Florence, you should definitely make the visit to their beautiful home and experience cooking with her.
- Learning to make bruschetta, pasta with a white ragu and tiramisu with Antonella was such a fun experience. She was so patient with us and provided extra feedback as this was my second cooking class. First class was also through Cesarine , though when I was attempting to make pasta at home, I just couldn't get it quite right. Antonella gave me several pointers. These classes are such as great experience. I highly recommend Antonella for a wonderful cooking class and experience while in Florence. She went above and beyond for our experience - Thank you!
- Our experience with Antonella was great! We had an amazing time making tagliatelle pasta by hand with an old fashion pasta hand crank machine. We also made traditional ragout under Antonella's supervision, along with tiramasu and bruschetta. To get to her house, we took a taxi from the Santa Maria Novella train station which cost 25 euro. The driver knew where to go just by showing him the address. To get back, Antonella was kind enough to drive us to the closest tram station (5min from her house) and from there it was 3 euro for two tickets back to Santa Maria. The food we made was delicious and felt much more authentic than the group classes that we looked at and almost signed up for. Definitely worth it!
- My fiancee and I had an amazing time learning to cook yummy Italian dishes with Antonella in her lovely home! She guided us through each step to make pasta with white meat sauce, bruschetta, and tiramisu – all using fresh ingredients. After cooking we enjoyed the meal outside with some wine and gorgeous views! Antonella is an amazing teacher and we had a great time talking with her. She made us feel right at home, and we'll miss her! This experience was a highlight of our trip and we'd definitely do it again.
- Incredible, to say the very least my friends. Antonella led us on a magical tour of making our own homemade pasta (2 types) and marvelous Tiramiso. In a beautiful country kitchen she gently instructed us as we made the dough and prepared the desert filling. It was all hands on for Connie and I. Don't fret, she is so kind and generous. There are no mistakes in her kitchen it's all in fun and feast. She also made bruschetta and focaccia all with fresh ingredients many pulled directly from her garden, 'a la fois'. As all the ingredients began to emerge together we moved to a charming outside table covered with views of the raw country side. Some wine and we began our gourmet feast. We were very fortunate to enjoy the meal with both Antonella and her husband both wonderful hosts. We shared stories and laughed heartly. But in the end we teared up as we didn't want the evening to end. Remarkable, a must do experience. Many thanks Chef Antonella!

Where
Antonella
Cesarina from 2018Location: Florence Languages: Italian and EnglishAntonella is a Florentine born and bred who (professionally and for fun) loves cooking, using only seasonal ingredients which she usually buys from local farmers. Antonella loves traditional, ethnic and fusion cuisines; she likes sharing experiences and getting to know new people whom she hosts in a stunning location, on the Florentine hills. Here, only a couple miles from the historic center of Florence, in the tranquility of the Tuscan hills, this Cesarina welcomes us. Her house is an ex-monastery from 1200 a.c. which throughout the years was turned into a barn, then a painter’s studio, and now an artist’s home, where we can savor the flavors of Tuscan cuisine.
