Ciao da Cecilia!
In cima ad una strada appena fuori dal centro storico, davanti al parco del Museo Stibbert, la nostra Cesarina apre le porte della sua casa, dalla quale si gode una splendida vista della città. "Cucinare mi diverte e mi mette sempre di buon umore. Sono sempre alla ricerca della ricetta perfetta, e quando la trovo la custodisco come se fosse un tesoro". Quella di Cecilia è una cucina semplice, ma decisamente gustosa: "Mi piace invitare gli amici a casa, senza troppe formalità, dando però loro il meglio che posso".
Le mie specialità

- This was truly a wonderful experience. My husband and two teenage girls could not wait for this experience while visiting Italy. Cecilia really made it more than we expected. She was kind and welcoming. We learned a lot about pasta making and she even shared some of her secrets. The bruschetta tasted amazing with her family oil and the dinner was so delicious, we are excited to re create at home. Cecilia made this time with her so enjoyable that my family wanted to go back to her warm home again for another meal. I would highly recommend a pasta class with Cecilia. Thank you Cecilia for the wonderful time- the girls have not stopped talking about it. Danielle, Charles, Gia & Gabby
- Taking Cecilia’s pasta-making class was truly an unforgettable experience! Her beautiful home was easy to find, and from the moment we arrived, she made us feel welcome. Cecilia is a wonderful teacher — patient, knowledgeable, and so encouraging throughout the process. She guided us through each step and even gave us great recommendations on where to buy all the pasta tools we would need to recreate everything at home. The conversation flowed so easily with her; she’s such a kind and genuine person. We will cherish this memory for years to come and can’t wait to make pasta on our own thanks to Cecilia’s incredible guidance. Highly recommend!
- We had a wonderful time cooking with Cecilia in her beautiful Florence kitchen. She was a kind and patient and fun teacher, and our pasta making class was truly one of the highlights of our Italy trip. 100% would recommend to anyone!!
- We have pondered for hours and hours how perfectly to describe our magnificent cooking class with Chef Cecilia. I’m so afraid I can’t give it the justice it deserves. Cecilia was inviting and embraced us as if we had known each other a life time. Until you have had our experience you couldn’t possibly understand the intriguing relaxed, confident approach provided by Chef Cecilia. The same feeling of confidence we embraced as she made us feel so comfortable. I strongly suggest you look no further than her class. Cecilia was very approachable, demonstrating her technique and knowledge of cooking tips we will remember and use forever. A trip to the fresh outdoor market was such an exhilarating experience. I’ve never seen such beautiful produce, cheeses and meats. The menu was perfect. We have enjoyed in the past making pasta but often frustrated with a few ups and downs in making the pasta noddles. Cecilia addressed and shared the optimal solution to making the perfect pasta. The Tiramisu, my favorite dessert. I have never made one as I was literally afraid I couldn’t do it. Mike never cared for it but loves it now. My fear stepped aside and now I feel like a pro. We are expecting dinner guest soon and Cecilia has giving me a great menu to prepare with such authentic Italian flare.
- My husband was in disbelief that we would be in Italy and especially Florence without having booked a Cooking Lesson! I hesitated to since he doesn't cook and thought he'd be bored on our planned Italy trip for our anniversary celebration. Nonsense, he said. You really like cooking, and it will be fun to do together. So, off I went to find a cooking school - but, I didn't think he would be interested in a large group instruction in a formal school. Then I came across Cesarine! And, boy, did I read review after review about this wonderful program bringing students into the real homes and learning time-tested traditions from gracious home chefs passionate about sharing their love of their culture and food. What we didn't know and were overwhelmed by was the abundant personality and patient instruction by Cecilia. We loved every minute in her presence in her amazingly comfortable home and kitchen. She made us feel so welcome and was so patient in her instructions, never rushing or talking over us. It was such a lovely way to see Florence and share the traditions and love of creating delicious food, which we will share and continue in our home and family. The views were amazing from her home and we enjoyed our walk from the center of the city where our hotel was (about 35 minutes). It was perfect and truly memorable, and most assuredly a special highlight of our Italy trip! Thank you for this amazing program, and special thanks to Cecilia to share her love and recipes with us!
