Catia
Catia, our Cesarina, lives on the outskirts of Padua, a city full of treasures to be discovered. Art, culture, history and gastronomy, imposing squares, alleys and shops, nothing is really missing. Even in our Cesarina's home nothing is missing: delicacies that trace the typical Venetian and Paduan flavors, made with raw materials, most of which come from farms in the area.

- We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Catia. Catia is incredibly warm, welcoming and a great host. She is an even better teacher and we were honoured to have visited her lovely home to learn about the history of Italian food and cooking. We felt right at home and learned so much. We will be forever grateful for the experience and the opportunity to learn about authentic Italian cooking. We hope we can come to Italy again, and if so we’ll definitely stop in Padua again to catch up with a new friend and learn more skills. Grazie mille Catia!
- We had a lovely and very educational cooking class with Catia! Catia knows so much and can show you the techniques to cook Padua style! The vegetarian cicchetti was amazing. The homemade bigolli was so simple and so delicious! With a fantastic tiramisu to top it off. A fantastic meal but so nice to also learn the origin and history of the dishes along with the history of Padua and Veneto region. Thank you for a wonderful evening and experience to remember!
- Absolutely fantastic experience. Catia was extremely welcoming and taught us a great deal about not just the techniques behind cooking, but the historical culture as well. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone and anyone! Thank you again for your hospitality Catia, and I hope to return again one day.
- My wife and I attended Catia’s cooking class yesterday and had a wonderful afternoon. She welcomed us so warmly and impressed us with her extensive knowledge and the care with which she explained everything. We particularly loved learning to make pasta in such an authentic, traditional way... and everything tasted absolutely delicious! Catia went above and beyond to make the afternoon special, even making sure we got safely back to central Padua afterwards. That personal attention and kindness made the experience all the more memorable. Highly recommended to anyone looking for delicious food, authentic Italian cooking and a truly welcoming host. Thank you, Catia!
- Catia is a wonderful host! We were given a very warm and friendly welcome. We really enjoyed the stroll through her vegetable garden. We learnt a lot about the local cuisine. We prepared dinner together. The highlight was making the pasta using the historic pasta machine. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Catia and will look back on it fondly!!! It was an exceptionally lovely evening!
