      Great cooking class with Cesarine
      I had a very great cooking class and a wonderful evening together with Veleria and Valentina. We made delicious Italian food and I had a really great time.

      Fun experience in Rome
      We had a wonderful time with Carmelo - from the market, quick stop for coffee, prep & cooking, and most importantly eating! He was well prepared, easy to talk to, and we really enjoyed hearing about his family and his passion for cooking. His apartment was perfect for ‘’class’’, charming and comfortable.

      Delicious diner and great evening with Roman local
      We loved our experience with Cesarine. The family who welcomed us prepared typical Roman dishes. With a theme based on the autumn season, we discovered delicious and original dishes. A welcoming family, our hosts were very attentive, and we had a lot of fun chatting with them. An activity that's worth it on your trip to Rome, we warmly recommend Rosanna.

      Cooking experience in Rome
      This was one our favorite things that we did in Rome! The hosts were fascinating, engaging and very welcoming to us in their home. And the food that we prepared under their instruction was amazing. I highly recommend this cooking experience, it was more than a cooking class!

      Bad tour
      Our tour” small group street food tour” was very bad. Just one coffee and a little cheese. Anything else. The guide didn’t speak in english. And we didn’t receive the bag official Cesarine. Very expensive tour for what it offered. I didn’t recomend. Sincerly Jose Henrique Brochado.

      Amazing Time
      We had a great time with Ofelia in Rome. She welcomed us into her home and cooked and let us participate in the pasta making! Her home was beautiful and the food and wine was great. It was a highlight of our trip and we recommend highly. We sat and talked and enjoyed our meal together :) We felt like we were friends and not people that just met. Thank you Ofelia <3

      Amazing experience!
      Do Not book this unless you want to have an amazing time with an extremely lovely couple and eat delicious, authentic Roman food! Leonardo and Ofelia are kind and genuine and you will feel welcome and comfortable in their beautiful home. One of our most enjoyable times in Roma and we made new friends as a bonus!!! Could not recommend more!!! 😀

      Pizza in the clouds
      During our trip to Lake Como we took the pizza and tiramisu making class. Patrizia was a wonderful host and made us really feel welcome in her beautiful home. It was high up in the hills overlooking Lake Como and even with a foggy rainy, the view was beautiful. She taught us how to make the pizza and tiramisu and then we got to eat it all. Truly a great experience and one that we'll always remember

      Not worth to pay Euro150 for 2 home made pastas and tiramisu (no recipes and using the same dough).
      1. The original cooking class was at Varenna, a small town where is easy for us to get to the premises. 2. one day before the class, they sent me a message that the place changed to Leco, to reach the place we had to hire taxi cost us 50 Euro to mountain side and back. 3. the contents of teaching were nothing difference to Google (which is easily for everyone to learn from, no need to join the class). I won't recommend paying Euro 150 for which we can easily get from Google.

      Give This A Pass - High Price, Low Value
      The Cesarines who conducted our cooking class were wonderful, friendly, and spoke great English. It was interesting to be invited into a private home in a residential area of Rome. However, as this was a private home, our four guests could not fit in the kitchen to cook. We did a minimal amount of cooking and the host did most of it. There were no written recipes to follow along or to take home - seemed a bit amateur. And for a price tag over $615 for 4 people, this should have been much more professional - with room for all in the kitchen. And the worst part was that we paid for all the ingredients and didn't get to take home one morsel of food! I would not recommend this tour.

      Local Cooking!
      Laura’s cooking class was incredible!! One of the highlights of our trip to Rome. We met at the market and discussed different local foods and how to cook with them. We taste tested delicious pork. Then we went to their place where Laura had special aprons and stations set up for my husband and I to cook. She walked us through carbonara and tiramisu!! We were laughing and joking, just having the best time. Then we enjoyed a quiet romantic meal. I cannot recommend her class enough!

      SHOCKINGLY HEARTLESS
      Drove to Spoleto from Florence on a Sunday, to be able to participate in cooking class Monday evening. Woke up Monday morning, felt poorly, and tested positive for COVID. Immediately contacted cooking class people who properly informed me I was out of luck for a refund because I was inside the 24 hour cancellation window. It’ “policy”, they said. When asked how they would have felt if I had brought COVID into their kitchen, they replied “policy”. Gee, thanks for the consideration!! By doing the right thing, and protecting them and other guests, it cost me some $250, and my partner a much anticipated birthday present. “Terrible” is not a low enough description for this experience. “Non-compassionent” or “money grubbing” might be more apt.
