We had the best time! Beatrice was a fantastic host. We made fresh fettuccine and ravioli with simple, yet delicious sauces. Then we finished with homemade tiramisu. We learned so much and had great conversations about Italy, food, music and travel. We highly recommend this experience!!

Great experience
Marlenne_O, June 2023
Deborah was the most amazing person and really you learn little tips how to make the pasta and tiramisu . We feel like home cooking and having a nice dinner.
An evening to remember

Caroline and her daughter Simona were excellent instructors. The family were so warm and welcoming by the end of the evening we felt as if we had made new friends.
Carolina and her daughter...
Christine_H, May 2023
Carolina and her daughter were lovely. Carolina was well organized and ran the class efficiently and with experience. We enjoyed the experience much! However, the price of $150.00 per person for simple meatless pasta and tiramisu was far too high. Not a good value overall.
A special evening in Lake Como

Anna our hostess was delightful! She warmly welcomed us to her lovely apartment that overlooks Lake Como. She worked with us to make two kinds of pasta and some tiramisu.
We spent 5 hours together with her and another couple. A very special evening I recommend to all!
Do this when you’re in Como!

Authentic Italian meal with a local
Henna_R, Apr 2023
Had a lovely experience with Anna. I travelled solo for this trip and it was a pleasure being welcomed into her home to cook an authentic Italian meal. She shared so many tips! It was a very wholesome evening.
Great Pasta Making in Lake Como
Alessandro_P, Apr 2023
It was wonderful to meet the family and talk about where we are from. Also making the delicious pasta and tiramisu was a memorable experience
Lovely Cooking Class with Debora
Jacqueline_H, Apr 2023
We had a great time learning how to make pasta (tagliatelle and ravioli) and tiramisu with Debora and her daughter Carola.
We were warmly welcomed into their lovely home. We also had nice aperitivo with Prosecco and juices/soft drinks.
We enjoyed the lesson! It is one of the highlights of our two week trip to Italy. It is a lovely family-orientated experience.
Thank you again Debora and Carola for the warm welcome and for teaching us how to make the food that we all love. ❤️🇮🇹 We all had fun and we will never forget this experience. Grazie mille!
Good food, disappointing preparation
Brittany_G, Mar 2023
We learned how to make great pasta- that much was really fun and great to enjoy. But the home was a little dirty and unkept. We were met by the neighbor right on time, and brought up to her apartment because she wasn’t quite ready. The host just seemed a little unprepared from the beginning.
The cookies we used for the tiramisu were pulled out of an open bag from the cabinet, and obviously very stale. The utensils that were used were rinsed off and never washed between uses, and at one point she poured us water from a little open water bottle that I’m not sure she didn’t drink out of because she didn’t have another one. The herbs we used were obviously fresh, but old.
The food overall was good, and learning the techniques of Italian cooking was fun. It could have been a lot more polished and a lot cleaner.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Dear Brittany,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your honest feedback.
Cesarine is dedicated to promoting the very best of Italian home cooking, and so you were absolutely right to have high expectations.
I really care about every customer coming away with happy memories, and I regret very much that you felt let down on this occasion.
Our team will get in touch with you asap to solve this matter.
Best regards
