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.
On a trip to the Piemonte with friends to experience the countryside, eat amazing food and learn more about the region’s wine, we decided to look into a cooking class. What we found was not a tutorial about making pasta, but an amazing evening with new friends who allowed us a glimpse into the life of a Piedmontese family. Teresa led us past a wall full of family photos upstairs to a beautiful kitchen set up with six cooking stations. Instead of jumping right in, she invited us outside onto her patio for an amazing view of La Morra and served us freshly made bruschetta and bagnet vert with a crisp, refreshing Arneis bottled just down the street. After telling us about the evening to come, we were joyfully greeted by her three beautiful boys home from handball practice. We then set our attention to creating a sumptuous meal of homemade tajarin pasta with veal ragu, agnolotti di plin and a traditional Piemontese dessert called bonet. Although her hen was on strike not laying sufficient eggs for our meal, the rest of the ingredients were local from her father’s farm and a nearby mill. Under Teresa’s friendly watch, we beat eggs, cooked caramel, crushed amaretti biscuits, rolled pasta, Bimby-ed filling and pinched plin until we helped create the best meal we ate during our trip in Italy (sorry Massimo!). We sat and enjoyed our meal outside with Teresa, her husband and two of her lovely friends while drinking Barbera d’Alba and listening to the sounds of the Pocapaglia hillside. We learned so much during our evening with Teresa. Yes, we learned that Semolina prevents pasta dough from drying out while OO flour does the opposite by continuing to “eat” the eggs, but mostly we learned about the land and its people who work it. We learned why the Piemontese work so hard to keep traditions alive enough so that their children don’t leave for the city but prefer to remain home and continue the lifestyle of their Nonno and Nonnas! The evening was just so much fun. Although we don’t know why Teresa would ever leave Piemonte, if one day she does decide to take a vacation, I hope she knocks on our door so we can repay her amazing hospitality!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Gianfraco and Mama Maria who made us feel so welcome in their home and made the evening entertaining and fun. Their passion for food and produce shone throughout the evening. The location, decor and family history was authentic and added to the evening. Their generosity was overwhelming and their passion was evident in the food they presented to us, definitely dont eat before your class. You wont be disappointed and we recommend you try for yourself. Thank you Gianfranco, Maria and Billy.

Alessandra Mauriello was amazing!! We had a lovely time. We are so grateful for the time we had making pasta. The passion she had for cooking and inviting people into her house to share that passion is something we will need forever. Thank you so much. We hope to come back and make pizza.
