- From the moment we arrived, Anna and Stefano welcomed us into their beautiful Tuscan home with such warmth that we instantly felt like part of the family. The setting itself was a beautifully restored period house in the countryside, but it was the genuine kindness of Anna and her husband that truly made the experience unforgettable. Anna patiently guided us through making two different types of pasta and tiramisu, explaining each step in a way that felt approachable and fun, no matter your skill level. After preparing the dough and dessert, we were treated to an appetizer of local traditional meats and the most delicious and beautiful focaccia bread—almost too beautiful to eat. It looked like a piece of art, and tasted AMAZING! What made this experience so special was how it felt less like a formal cooking class and more like an evening spent cooking together with family. The laughter, conversation, and shared love of food created such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. It was one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it’s over. If you’re in Tuscany, this is something you absolutely shouldn’t miss.
- We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Cesarine, thanks to the amazing hosts Anne and Stefan. From the very first moment, they made us feel incredibly welcome — as if we had known each other for a long time. We spent the evening talking, laughing, and truly enjoying their company, which made the whole experience feel so warm and genuine. The food was exceptional. We had tiramisu, ravioli, and tagliatelle — all freshly made, authentic, and absolutely delicious. You could really feel the passion and love behind every dish. What made it even more special was the beautiful birthday surprise they prepared for my husband. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the evening even more memorable. This was not just a dinner, but a truly authentic and emotional experience that we will always remember. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for something special and personal. We send you our warmest hugs and truly hope to see you again soon — next time in Albania!
- If I could leave 10 stars and more I would! When asked for allergies, I said I was gluten free. Anna then prepared the entire, most incredible dinner, gluten free! It was such a joy for me to have amazing Italian food that I could eat and not only that, have it be the most amazing dinner you could imagine. Stefano erased our problem of returning to the top of our hill town in the dark and not only that, made the entire trip a very engaging conversation. Their home is gorgeous, they are a beautiful couple, and it was the best evening in Italy we have had and this is our fourth trip here. What more can I say, you are missing an incredible experience if you don’t have one of Anna’s dinners!
- We had such a wonderful experience at Anna and Stefano’s home. They were incredibly welcoming from the moment we arrived, and Anna was especially patient and helpful while teaching us how to cook each dish. Everything was delicious—the food, the wine, and the company made it unforgettable. Their home is beautiful, and the entire experience truly makes you feel immersed in the full Italian lifestyle. You couldn’t ask for more!
- My husband and I recently took a cooking class with Anna and Stefano at their home in Montepulciano. It was hands on and delicious food but also they welcome you into their home as though you were friends. It was an altogether lovely time that I highly recommend. Great people and great food!
