      A wonderful cooking class with Enza in Siena.
      My host was Enza and she was fantastic! She mad me feel so welcome in her kitchen, the cooking lesson was wonderful, we made an array of local pasta and vegetable dishes and a wonderful dessert. The experience was one that I would highly recommend. Thank you Enza for a delightful morning and delicious food! Siena is beautiful, definitely worth visiting and this experience was authentically Italian.

      Super fun experience!
      My fiance and I had the best time at this pasta and tiramisu class! From the moment we arrived, Cesarine Enza made us feel so welcome. She was just so warm nd passionate about teaching, explaining each step clearly, and making sure we were all involved. The setting was intimate and cozy, which made the experience even more special. The tagliatelle we made was incredible, and the tiramisu was hands down the best I’ve ever tasted! It was a such an authentic experience and I’ll never forget it. Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Siena!

      Highlight of our trip!
      This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Our group learned how to make delicious ravioli, tagliatelle and tiramisu from scratch, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Not only was Genny an amazing host and teacher, she was also so kind. Along with Genny, we also met her family, which made the experience more special. Her whole family went above and beyond to welcome us. She even had birthday candles for our tiramisu since it was my husband's birthday. I cannot recommend this cooking course enough!

      Wonderful experience
      We had a great time with this cooking class. Genny had us make tiramisu, ravioli, and tagliatelle. Her kitchen had everything we needed and she was an excellent teacher. She prepared a delicious charcuterie which we enjoyed with wine on their lovely deck while she got things ready for lunch. Her husband,son, niece and nephew were there so it was a fun family lunch! This experience was one of the highlights of our time in Tuscany.

      good but expensive pasta making class
      Good pasta making class in an apartment in the centre of town. Enza spoke very good English. I had one to one tuition as no one else had booked on the class, it was good in one way as I had all the attention, but it might have been more fun if there'd been a couple of other people. I made ravioli, pici pasta and gnocchi and a couple of sauces. I will definitely use what I learned to make my own fresh pasta at home now. I thought it was quite expensive for what it was though, I've had other cooking and foodie experiences in France and Italy while travelling that were better value for money I felt.

      Fun, informative for the whole family
      Cesarine is such a joy. I went with my husband and three children, two of which are 10 and under. Cesarine was so kind and patient with them. She was very relaxed and her cooking was simple to follow and delicious. She was so hospitable and kind. Her apartment is in the middle of the town of Siena and is authentic and local. Grazie tanto Cesarine.

      Wonderful evening cooking with a local in Siena!
      My husband and I had a lovely and fun evening cooking dinner with Patrizia! She was so kind and patient, and we learned a lot about authentic Italian cooking! We made our own pasta, which we have never even attempted (we are now going to try it at home!). It was simple ingredients, but everything was so delicious :)

      Tuscan cooking class at its best!
      We were looking to have the ultimate Italian cooking experience, we hoped for pasta and deliciousness and Enza delivered. She invited us warmly into her home and made us feel instantly welcome. We made the most amazing pasta dishes, sauces and an authentic tiramisu which we then enjoyed over lunch and we were able to take the left overs away with us. It surpassed our expectations. Enza was delightful and we could not recommend this experience more highly! Victoria & Fiona

      Cooking Class in beautiful, historic home in Siena
      This experience was a dream come true! Barbara welcomed us into her gorgeous, historic home for a wonderful night where we were lucky enough to learn about Italian cooking traditions and to enjoy a beautiful, delicious dinner with the best of friends. I can’t imagine a better way to experience the local charm and culture of the Siena region. This was the highlight of our visit and Barbara was the perfect host!

    We took the appetizer course with Enza and we loved it. We have learned in a very dynamic and simple way what is cooked at home. Enza has been a wonderful host, always willing to adapt to our tastes and preferences. We highly recommend it!!
