Valeria e Valentina

Parioli is a Roman neighborhood that holds a unique charm. It distinguishes itself by its marvelous buildings and large green areas. This neighborhood offers up so many different facets and after the Second World War it began to get noticed, becoming the hang out place of famous movie stars, important theater actors and diplomats from all over the world. The history of Parioli, however, dates back to the Roman period. Later, during the Middle Ages, the neighborhood was known as "Pelaiolo", a peasant term referring to the fruit of the pear tree.We greet you here in Parioli in our period home. Both lovers of the culinary arts, we have always enjoyed spending lots of time cooking and trying out new recipes, from the past and present. Our dishes are full of the memories and flavors of childhood, and our table setting is elegant and full of colors that vary according to the seasons. Our preparations tend to revolve around baked goods (bread, breadsticks, taralli), all strictly homemade using our own sourdough starter and extra virgin olive oil which we also produce ourselves.

We had an EXCELLENT experience with Valentina and Valeria!! They were so warm and friendly and we were honored to be welcomed into Valeria’s home. They very patiently taught us how to make ravioli, fettuccine and tiramisu. We then thoroughly enjoyed having the meal with them. They also gave us lots of very helpful information about Rome in general, and even helped us understand how to easily catch a train the next day! The company provided exceptional communication including reminders and extremely clear instructions about where to meet. We highly recommend Cesarine and honestly feel like we have made friends in Rome because of this wonderful experience.

Unforgettable experience with Valeria, both for the cooking and for the numerous topics of discussion during the morning. Her mastery of French is also an asset for fully enjoying the experience.

We had a really lovely time, Valeria and Valentina were really nice and the cooking was amazing! My mother has Alzheimer, and she was taken care of in such a lovely way! Everything was amazing, and I really recommend this experience. Thank you so much!

Wonderful evening with Valeria and Valentina with hands on learning to make tiramisu (first time!!), enjoying a homemade pasta meal Italian style, and visiting with tips for upcoming sight-seeing days and must visit restaurants. Thank you so much for the wonderful evening!

Thank you Valeria and Valentina. I had a really great cooking class and had a fantastic time - and we made some delicious new Italian dishes. This was my second cooking class together with Valeria and Valentina and I would love to visit a third time next time I am in Rome.
