Private Experience
Your experience
- Tasting of Piemonte appetizers
- Ravioli (homemade pasta) with butter and sage
- Tiramisù
I am Benedetta, a Cesarina from Turin, and I am happy to host you in my home in the historic center of the city. My house is an old and cozy apartment, furnished with traditional Piedmontese furniture and decorated with art objects that I have collected over the years. Here I organize my traditional cooking course "Mani in Pasta", where I teach typical Piedmontese appetizers, homemade butter and sage ravioli according to my grandmother's recipe, and the perfect tiramisu.
After the course, we will have the opportunity to taste the recipes prepared together at the table, with excellent local wine. I'm looking forward to seeing you in Turin!

- É stata un esperienza meraviglioso. Le cose di mangiare erano molto buone e Benedetta e la sua famiglia erano mile amechevole e divertente. Ci piace militiasimo.
- Our morning and lunch with Benedetta and Zoe were full of information and sights at the huge Mercato Centrale in Torino. The highlights were seeing the farmers’ seasonal, beautiful and unusual (for us from US) offerings, the ancient Ghiacciaia – Ice dome refrigeration, the cooking school area at the top of the building and the activity all around. Then our walk to Benedetta’s home on this pretty day was enjoyable and more to see – lots of people enjoying little places outside to have a quick lunch. We arrived and were greeted by Benedetta’s mother Luisa and a table beautifully set in their vintage Torino pottery. The menu was Bruschette of tomatoes and another of peppers on crusty bread. Additionally, the traditional thin veal with the tuna sauce. Homemade tagliatelle with tomato sauce and two cheeses was delicious, followed by dessert of Bunet and amaretti garnish. We felt right at home! The Barbera d’Alba red wine and lots of water after our excursion were very welcome and the conversations in Italian and English about food and life in general. A fun delicious day.
- Benedetta (and her family) are amazing!! The food was fantastic and her teaching is perfect. Honestly, the evening was better than our Michelin star experience the day before :) The whole experience exceeded all expectations; we cant wait to come back!! Thank you so much.
- We had such an amazing and educating time at Benedetta's house! We felt like part of the family, truly amazing experience. The ingredients were top quality and we had the best teacher we could wish for 🙌🙏
- Entrare in casa di Benedetta è stato come un abbraccio: oltre ad avere imparato (finalmente) come fare la pasta ripiena, ho passato una mattinata e un pranzo in compagnia di persone meravigliose. Mi è stata regalata questa esperienza per il mio addio al nubilato e in quanto sposa so di poter essere piuttosto rompiscatole quindi non mento quanto dico che è stata una delle cooking class più belle a cui io abbia mai partecipato - forse proprio perché è ben più che questo. Benedetta è bravissima a metterti a tuo agio, impossibile non imparare a preparare i plin e i tajarin… con il suo coinvolgimento e la sua passione avrai voglia di diventare uno chef al primo impasto! Il pranzo che abbiamo fatto insieme alla meravigliosa famiglia di Benedetta mi ha scaldato il cuore e fatto sentire a casa (e abitando lontana dalla mia famiglia non è una cosa facile o che do per scontata). La dolcezza della figlia, che ci ha intrattenuto con un gioco da tavolo, e la super personalità della madre di Benedetta, che è trasparita da tutte le sue storie, ha fatto volare le ore in loro compagnia tra risate, piantini della sottoscritta ai mille complimenti e auguri ricevuti, e piatti deliziosi (anche da noi preparati! Incredibile!). È stato magico, e consiglio a tutti, soprattutto alle amiche delle future spose, di conoscere Benedetta e farvi trascinare dalla sua gentilezza e simpatia!!

Where
Benedetta
Cesarina from 2018Location: Turin Languages: Italian, French, EnglishSeductive, regal, and a little French — that’s Turin. There’s always something to do here: from the Mole Antonelliana to the Reggia di Venaria, from chocolate treats to a special dinner... at my house. I’ve nurtured a passion for the culinary arts since I was little, growing up surrounded by good food and traditional Piedmontese recipes, always prepared with fresh produce from the local markets. Simplicity, a light touch, and excellent ingredients are the foundation of my cooking. I also love blending tradition with a touch of originality and innovation — a passion that comes naturally to me, thanks to my background in art and design, which is also my profession.
