Hi from 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.

- Our pasta and Tiramisù cooking class with Catia was an absolute hightlight of our Trip! From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly welcoming, fun and informative. All four of us had a wonderful time taking turns and activetly helping to prepare our delicious dinner. It was a true farm-to-table experience, as most of the ingredients were fresh from her garden! As first time as American travelers, we also appreciated feeling completely safe and comfortable in her beautiful home! We would reccomend this experience to everyone!
- We had the best experience cooking with Catia! She is a lovely, very attentive host with a lot of experience in both cooking and teaching. Catias home is beautiful and she let us sit outside to enjoy one of the last summer days. She also showed us her organic garden and we picked some zucchini flowers, which we fried as an appetiser. Obviously, the food was amazing and we had a lot of fun preparing it with her. I can recommend this experience to anyone who wants to have an amazing evening learning how to make beautiful pasta dishes.
- The experience was amazing and Catia was a great host. We got to learn about different kinds of pasta and sauces that we made by hand. Catia sources her vegetables from her own organic garden and the taste is truly special. She made us feel at home right from the start and shared her knowledge with us. Overall I would recommend this experience to everyone, since you really can’t go wrong with Catia.
- Bellissima esperienza ieri con Catia, ho imparato piatti vegani molto buoni ed anche belli , Catia è stata un’insegnante molto disponibile, coinvolgente e generosa nei consigli .
- What a fabulous experience!!! Catia made our cooking class such an enjoyable evening. We truly learned so much about making Tiramisu, Bigoli, and a simple sauce. Catia’s appetizers were beyond delicious, and we learned so much about the food and culture of this region. If you are looking for a truly authentic experience with a talented hostess, don’t hesitate to book this experience. A HUGE thank you to Catia for a great evening, and for treating us like family! We have made a wonderful friend in Padova!❤️
