- My time with Antonella was one of, if not the, best experiences of my time back in Florence. We formed a connection so quickly that made the entire time together filled with joy. She was an amazing teacher; patient, encouraging, and enthusiastic. Since it was just the two of us we also helped each other get even better at speaking the other's language: her speaking English and me speaking Italian! We both learned from each other and felt comfortable asking questions. Sitting outside on her patio enclosed with vines and flowers with the Tuscan hills in the background was a dream. Pair that with the delicious bruschetta, ravioli, tagliatelle, tiramisu, and wine- I don't think any restaurant could beat it! I will absolutely book another class with her if I ever make it back to Florence. I can't recommend her enough!! Grazie mille, Antonella :)
- 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.

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.
