We had an awesome time with our hosts Gabriella and Fausto! Gabriella was an excellent teacher in helping us make 2 different pastas and a dessert. They made us feel welcomed in their lovely home!
We loved everything about this experience! First, our host's apartment was in the most beautiful area with a terrace overlooking Lake Maggiore. The cooking experience was amazing with details given at every step as well as help because rolling that dough is really hard! Lol What we created looked and tasted unbelievable. Most importantly , we enjoyed having dinner with our hosts and learning so much about what it's like to live in northern Italy.
Absolutely loved our cooking tour, consisting of three couples from all over the world yet we all loved the experience of making homemade pasta and . The knowledge and ease which our chef explained things made the time go by quickly. Plus, eating such wonderful food with new friends and enjoying the lake area made this a tour we will never forget.
It was a wonderful and personal experience with a local chef in her home. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a cooking experience
Gabriella has a welcoming personality and puts people at ease immediately. She is a wonderful cook and teacher. We made homemade ravioli with a sage and butter sauce, and tagliatelle pasta with a lite fresh tomato sauce. We usually buy homemade pasta, but Gabriella encouraged me and my husband throughout the creative cooking process about the ease of making your own fresh pasta. She focused on the importance of natural foods and home grown herbs. We rolled and rolled our dough and the final product stood the test! A delicious and memorable dinner with Gabriella and her husband. What would an Italian meal be without dessert? Gabriella taught us to create from scratch Tiramisu! It was easier than I expected, and the best that we have ever tasted! I can’t wait to make this meal for my family.
Gabriella and her husband were magnifico! We made tagliatelle in a red meat sauce, gnocchi in pesto, and herb and lemon ravioli in butter and sage. They hosted us in their home overlooking Lake Maggiore and we enjoyed wines perfectly paired with each dish. They treated us like familia! It was super intimate with our group of 2 couples. There is nothing like fresh pasta and even more special in such a unique setting with such great hosts! It was the best Italian dinner party with wonderful hosts! Mangia!
We had an amazing private cooking lesson for two with Gabriella R in Baveno. Gabriella and her son were entertaining hosts. The fresh pasta we prepared was delicious, and made with simple fresh ingredients that make me think we can actually try these recipes once we are back home. And this was no sit and watch but we were active participants, put to work, so the experience was really interactive - and fun. Would recommend to anyone looking for a personalized experience ending in a fabulous meal! With a beautiful view of Lake Maggiore as well!
The lesson was canceled. Because the reason, payment wasnt good. Very strange. We were waiting, nobody shows and then we read in the app the reason. Unfortunately ... but now I see the payment was correct. Please book the 270 euro back on my account.
The hospitality was wonderful given by Gisella and Marco!her teaching skills were second to none and the dinner turned out delicious! Charming apartment with great views!!!! I would recommend this class!!!
very nice people and very fun and educational to do and then delicious food. Recommended 👍
Warning: do not book Cesarine cooking classes via Viator. There is no communication between the two sites. We have not been informed of a change of location and the host for the courses. And the two sites meet again the ball to refund us the 270€
We were warmly welcomed by Gisella and had a great time with her. Very familiar and she is a great photographer. The pictures of us taking pasta, she sent us afterwards.
we had a really good time with good food! the atmosphere was great:)) we can only recommend!
We were welcomed at Gisella for a typical culinary workshop. We learned how to make tagliatelle with gorgonzola, ravioli and tiramisu. We loved this moment, the sharing of experiences, our lives too. Everything was delicious, as well as the chosen wine and bruschetta for our Welcoming. Thanks to Gisella for her simple and authentic Welcoming.
