Bonjour de la part de Alvaro !

Notre Cesarino Alvaro a une histoire riche et originale : à 14 ans, il s'est installé à Sienne pour travailler comme cuisinier, à 18 ans, il a ouvert son restaurant et à 22 ans, la vie lui a réservé un autre destin. Il est devenu maire de Rapolano T., puis a créé une entreprise et, maintenant qu'il est à la retraite, il peut revenir à son premier amour, la cuisine. « J'aime parler de l'histoire de mon village et de ma cuisine. Tout le monde est incrédule devant les trésors cachés de ce territoire, tant du point de vue historique que culinaire ».

A Delightful Aperitivo Experience with Alvaro and Family Spending an early evening with Alvaro and his wonderful family is more than just a culinary experience—it's an immersion into the heart of Italian hospitality and culture. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed not as a guest, but as part of the famiglia. Under Alvaro’s expert guidance, we explored the art of preparing the perfect aperitivo—an elegant and joyful tradition that celebrates good company, local flavors, and relaxed conversation. Together, we created a selection of five refined nibbles, each one a delicious tribute to the region’s ingredients and culinary heritage. From delicate crostini topped with creamy cheeses and herbs, to savory bites infused with citrus and olive oil, every element was thoughtfully paired with a refreshing glass of fizz—Prosecco, of course—or a light, local red wine. What made this experience truly unforgettable was the warmth and generosity of Alvaro’s family. Their stories, laughter, and passion for food made the evening feel like a gathering of old friends. This is not just a class—it's a celebration of Italian life, shared one bite and one sip at a time. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience authentic Italian culture, hands-on cooking, and the true magic of aperitivo. Grazie mille, Alvaro!

Our pasta and tiramisu experience outside of Siena was out of this world! Our hosts were amazing and did their utmost to make us feel at home and spent so much time imparting their knowledge about the food. It was a fun hands-on experience and very connecting. It was truly the highlight of our 2 week vacation and I would recommend this experience to anybody who is considering it. Truly memorable!

This was one of the best experiences of all of my travels. It was like visiting family and having your uncle teach his secrets for the best food you could eat. It was warm and welcoming and the food was incredible. I was a professional cook and chef and I learned different ways of cooking.

Alvaro opened up his home to us, teaching us a life skill with many laughs along the way. The food was simple yet memorable, and we can't wait to get home and try cooking pasta & tiramisu for ourselves. Thank you as well to Sophia, who came along to help Alvaro communicate English. A beautiful home, family and dishes.
