- This was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our entire 20-day trip through Italy and Spain! Mauro and his wife welcomed us into their home like old friends. They were incredibly kind, genuine, and made us feel so comfortable from the moment we arrived. We truly enjoyed getting to know them and learning about their family and traditions. The pizza-making experience was fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, authentic, and prepared with so much care. We especially loved sampling their homemade cured meats, pickled vegetables, and other local specialties. Every bite was amazing! Our kids had such a wonderful time helping make the pizza, and Mauro and his wife were so patient and welcoming with them. One of the sweetest parts of the evening was watching how wonderful they were with our children. Our almost 3-year-old completely fell in love with them almost immediately. Before long, he was calling them "Grandma" and "Grandpa," wanted to hold their hands, and kept asking to be held. He doesn't usually warm up to people that quickly, so it was a testament to how genuinely kind, patient, and loving they were with our family. They also introduced our kids to their pet turtles, which they absolutely loved. It made the experience even more special. If I have one piece of advice for future guests, it's this: **arrive hungry!** My only regret is that I ate lunch before the class. There was so much incredible food, and I wish I had gone with an empty stomach so I could have enjoyed even more of it. If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience that combines wonderful people, incredible food, and unforgettable memories, don't hesitate to book this class. It was truly one of our favorite experiences of our entire vacation.
- First experience with Cesarine: we found ourselves in a family atmosphere, we felt at home. The dinner was fantastic, with quality products. They demonstrated exceptional hospitality. Exquisite people that I hope to see again.
- We had a great time learning how to make pizza with Mauro and his wife in their beautiful home outside of Parma. They taught us to make several different types of pizza in their wood burning brick oven and shared great conversations with us. It was one of the highlights of our trip. I can’t say enough good things about the experience - great food, great company, great everything! If you’re looking to learn how to make delicious food and spend some time with wonderful people, don’t hesitate to book this experience.
- A truly wonderful experience Mauro and Natalia welcomed us into their home and we enjoyed a wonderful evening making focaccia, three types of pizza and the most delicious tiramisu I've ever tasted. Their limited English and our limited Italian was not a barrier to some great conversation. We left feeling like we had spent the evening with good friends.
- Super friendly and kind hosts. It really feels like being with family. They immediately make you feel comfortable. And not to mention the food! Phenomenal! Excellent and truly abundant. You'll return home, not only with a full stomach, but full of memories of a wonderful experience.
