Hi from Anna Maria!

Visiting Matera, walking around or just admiring the Sassi and breathtaking views, is an unforgettable experience. UNESCO has honored the city by recognizing it as a World Heritage site and it could not otherwise, judging by the amazed reactions caused by the Sassi, the cathedral, the numerous rupestrian churches, the traces of a monasticism come from afar, the places of faith and pilgrimage, and the beautiful scenic nature. Moreover, on the occasion of its prestigious nomination as the European Capital of Culture in 2019, it has become a constellation of events and is preparing to welcome artists and tourists from all over the world.Materana cuisine, which consists of rustic country dishes prepared with locally produced products, are to be discovered.Cesarina Anna Maria’s cooking is also something to be discovered. She loves organizing dinners and parties and also caters events, such as exhibitions or inaugurations. She enjoys meeting people and it is for this reason that she has decided to become a Cesarina and create memorable culinary experiences for her guests.

My partner and I had a wonderful time with Anna Maria learning how to make fresh pasta! Anna Maria was warm and welcoming. She was also great with our young daughter! We both enjoyed experiencing her passion for food and eating a delicious supper! We would highly recommend one of her classes - such an interesting, fun and tasty way to explore Matera!

Anna Maria was a wonderful chef and host! We had such a fun time with her and her family. We really enjoyed making traditional Matera dishes like orecchiette and sporcamuss (both delicious), as well as spending quality time chatting during dinner. This was a truly splendid experience and a memory we’ll treasure!

Esperienza bellissima, Anna Maria è stata fantastica e ci ha fatto sentire a nostro agio fin dal primo istante. Ci siamo sentiti a casa e abbiamo passato una bellissima serata!
