Reviews from guests who have already eaten with a Cesarina
Whoever receives the Gift Card picks from these experiences — here is how the guests who booked them describe them.
What a truly unforgettable experience! ❤️ I had the very special pleasure of being Rosalia’s first guest, and from the very first moment, I was welcomed with so much warmth and kindness by Rosalia and her daughter Irene. The cooking class was so much more than just learning how to prepare traditional Italian dishes. It felt like being invited into their home and getting to experience a little piece of authentic Italian life. We cooked, talked, laughed and, of course, enjoyed the most delicious food together. Rosalia and Irene are two incredibly warm and lovely people, and they made this day one of the most beautiful memories of my entire trip to Italy. I left not only with new recipes and a full stomach, but with a very full heart. ❤️ I know that I will remember this wonderful day in Monterubbiano for many years to come. Thank you, Rosalia and Irene, for your hospitality, your kindness and for making me feel so welcome. I feel very lucky to have been your first guest and I hope many more people will get the chance to experience this very special cooking class. I hope our paths will cross again one day – in Italy or in Germany! 🇮🇹❤️🇩🇪

We had the best time for our first cooking class experience! It’s what we were looking for in that it felt comfortable like going to someone’s house to hang out and eat while learning something new and about local culture. We learned how to make the best tiramisu and hand made pasta which I’ve never done, and it was better than the restaurants in San Francisco. We’re excited to host dinner parties with our new skills! Fernanda and her daughter Irene are so lovely. They also offered us a taste of homemade bread and olive oil which were also better than restaurants, and were so personable and helped us with rides. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Italian Cooking Experience! If you are looking for an authentic, hands-on culinary experience in Sicily, Luigina's home cooking class is absolute perfection. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family by her and her mother Maria. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and inviting, and learning to prepare traditional dishes step-by-step using fresh, local ingredients made all the difference. Luigina shared not just recipes, but the rich history, techniques, and love behind Italian home cooking. The highlight, of course, was sitting down to enjoy the delicious meal we prepared together—paired with wonderful conversation and great wine. Everything tasted incredible, and I’m leaving with unforgettable memories (and skills I can’t wait to show off back home). A absolute 10/10 experience—cannot recommend it enough!

We had a wonderful and special morning with Loretta and her grandson Davide. From the very beginning, we felt warmly welcomed and very comfortable. There was plenty of laughter, storytelling, and, of course, cooking together. Our menu, featuring breaded and fried Caciocavallo, traditional Cavati from Ragusa, and lemon Gelo, was delicious. Along the way, we learned a lot about Sicilian cuisine and its traditions and were able to get hands-on ourselves. An authentic, heartfelt, and very entertaining experience that brought us much joy. Many thanks to Loretta and Davide for this lovely morning!
