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.
Valeria and Rubina were amazing hosts. The setting in their home is absolutely gorgeous with fantastic views of the water and Positano below. We had a lot of fun learning to make fresh pasta and tiramisu! They used fresh ingredients and the food we made was delicious. We learned a lot and would highly recommend this experience!!

We had a wonderful cooking class with Aurora! She was an absolutely fantastic teacher – warm, patient, friendly and very professional. She explained everything clearly and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. Our group of seven had a fantastic time cooking together. The atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful, and we learned a lot while having plenty of laughs along the way. The food we prepared was delicious, and it was wonderful to enjoy our meal together afterwards. Aurora created a perfect balance between teaching, cooking and having a great time. We would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone who wants to experience Italian food and culture in a fun and authentic way. Thank you, Aurora, for such a memorable day! 🤗

We had a wonderful and truly memorable experience with Aurora in early October. She welcomed us into her beautiful home and made us feel like honored guests from the moment we arrived. Together, we prepared three delicious traditional dishes: pumpkin risotto, polenta, and sbrisolona. Aurora was warm, kind, and incredibly welcoming. She patiently explained every step and encouraged us to participate throughout the cooking process. She also gave us a lovely tour of her home, which made the experience feel even more personal and authentic. An interpreter was available and did an excellent job of making everything easy to understand, so we were able to fully enjoy the cooking and conversation. Afterward, we sat outside and enjoyed the wonderful meal we had prepared together. Everything was absolutely delicious! What made this experience so special was not only the food, but Aurora’s warmth, generosity, and genuine hospitality. It was so much more than a cooking class—it was an opportunity to experience Italian food and culture in a beautiful, welcoming home. We would highly recommend this Cesarine experience and Aurora to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable Italian experience.

We had an absolutely wonderful cooking experience with Samantha! Our group of six adults had such a memorable time, and Samantha was the perfect host. She was incredibly pleasant, warm, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. She made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable while also teaching us so much about the local food, traditions, and cooking techniques. Everything was hands-on, delicious, and filled with wonderful conversation and laughter. You could truly feel how much Samantha enjoys sharing her love of cooking and her culture with others. It was so much more than just a cooking class—it was a wonderful experience that our group will remember for a long time. We would wholeheartedly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for an authentic, fun, and personal cooking experience. She deserves every one of these five stars! I will admit the actual booking process was a bit trying. I had to follow up several times and different Cesarine staff would respond back. Once that was finally sorted after several attempts is went smoothly.
