Alessandra
I became a Cesarina because of my great passion for cooking, which started long ago when I was a child making sweets with my mother, and because I immediately loved the warm, family-like atmosphere that characterizes the hospitality of the Cesarine.Now I welcome you in a house surrounded by nature, in the beautiful countryside around Treviso. I have always considered cooking for others as an act of love and sharing emotions. My constant curiosity pushes me to discover new flavors, experiment, and challenge myself to offer my guests something special every time. This is why I love welcoming my guests into my kitchen, to share the secrets of our extraordinary Italian cuisine, recently proclaimed by UNESCO as a World Heritage.

- If there is a way to make a guest feel immediately welcomed by, and a part of the host family, Alessandra has perfected it. We arrived at her lovely home to see her husband, son and his partner all come out to enthusiastically greet us… including Dante, the French bulldog. He was adorable. She then took us into her very typical kitchen and in classic “Italian mama” style, we whipped up three variations of the delicious dessert tiramisu. She was very organized and had everything ready for us, so all we did is stir and mix and put it together. It was easy - even for the non-cooks among us - great fun. Then, unexpectedly, while the delicious dessert was chilling, she had us sit down at her table outside in her garden and proceeded to bring out what could only be described as a full meal. They described it as an Aperitivo. We sat down with the family and enjoyed a delicious spritz, had a lovely variety of appetizers, cheese, and goodies… All homemade of course. We barely had enough room for tasting the desserts! But it was all completely yummy and a great deal of fun getting to know her and her sweet family. They were extremely gracious and we had a lovely time chatting and getting to know one another over this amazing food. I will now hold the distinction of being the tiramisu queen when I return home… None of my friends will be able to prepare a dessert like these! Definitely a highlight of our visit - so a big hug to Alessandra and her lovely family. And to Dante, of course. Ciao tutti! Grazie mille.
- I had a wonderful time cooking with Alessandra. I felt like I was in my Aunts kitchen be taught family recipes. I highly recommend and look forward to doing it again!!
- Excellent experience. I learned a lot in a familiar, friendly home. Allessandra was so kind and caring. It was not just a course it was cooking together and sharing a meal.
- My boyfriend and i found this cooking class on our holiday and this was the best thing for us in our vacation. We want to thank Alessandra and her husband for their hospitality and kindness. We loved to make our own pasta and tiramisu. We had a cosy family dinner and it was a great evening. Love from Holland
- Alessandra, I booked a cooking class to learn how to make homemade pasta and tiramisu, but I got so much more than that! Your hospitality and warmth, coupled with your vast knowledge of this art form made today an absolutely magical experience for me! Thank you to you and Roger for opening your beautiful home to me and for sharing your culinary talents with me. I felt so confident learning with you and the food was absolutely unique and delicious! This experience exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait to come back to cook (and eat!) with you again! I feel like I gained a new friend and a cooking mentor. I can’t wait to share my new skills with my family! From the bottom of my heart, Thank you!!
