Very enjoyable evening! Host was a genuinely lovely person, who spoke English quite well. She and her son were very knowledgeable about cooking. We were as hands-on as much as we wanted, and learned how to make fresh pasta and tiramisu. Our host served several nice bottles of wine with dinner, which was wonderful as we completely forgot to bring the bottle of wine we purchased and intended to bring! The other guests were lovely to visit with, and we talk about Italian vs American culture (we think Italian culture wins by a mile!). Thank you for a wonderful evening! We will recommend this chef team to friends who are coming to Milano in the future!

Wonderful experience! Loved the hands on cooking with a very lovely and gracious host. The food was amazing, would recommend this!!!! I feel ready to take what we learned and do it at home.
Beatrice was absolutely AMAZING!! All the ingredients were fresh from the market that morning. We made hand rolled spätzle, flan, and poached pears. It was incredible! I would highly recommend this experience. My husband and I went for Valentine’s Day and ended up having a beautiful time together we will never forget. Huge thank you to Beatrice for being so generous with her knowledge of cooking Milanese traditional dishes.
Nicoletta e Fabio taught us how to make osobucco and risotto in a way even a beginner can understand. Fascinating conversation, beautiful home, thumbs up on all fronts!
The class was 5 stars in all respects. Fabio and Nicolette are amazing hosts, and their incredibly lovely home is the perfect setting for the class. We drank an aperitif mixed by Fabio, shared travel stories, made spinach and ricotta ravioli from the fresh pasta he helped us prepare, made the best tiramisu ever, and even had a sautéed polenta with stracciatella and anchovy appetizer. You simply cannot go wrong with this experience!
Thai was a wonderful experience! Sandra was delightful! She was warm, friendly and made cooking fun. We really enjoyed learning about Italy and the different regions and the cuisine. She also gave us a wonderful suggestion on a day trip to Desenzano del Garda. We made treasured memories! Thankyou Sandra and Viator!!
Delightful private cooking lesson with Beatrice. Great lessons in use of seasonal local ingredients, including produce and different type and processing of flours. Fun to make pasta by hand for the first time. Great meal and wonderful company. Highly recommend!
Our cooking class with Enrico was incredible. He and his wife were so nice and the instruction for our classic Milanese meal was great. It was a good mix of instruction as well as hands-on cooking time. Every dish was delicious and we loved getting to know more about Enrico and his family. Highly recommend if you’re in Milan!
Cooking class with Sandra in her home in Milan was exceptional. Beautiful apartment, comfortable setting, scrumptious appetizers, wine from Puglia, homemade limoncello, pasta making of tagliatelle and spinach and cheese stuffed ravioli, …yum! The lightest pasta we have ever tasted…and we made it! Thank you, Sandra. You made this experience our best in Milan. Yes, we will be back to see you again.
Sandra greatly spoiled us with our 1st cooking class experience in Italia! She made it relaxed with music (we all ended up singing along)and enjoyable with generous wine pours and light-hearted conversation while she educated us on cooking techniques. She explained each ingredient used and laughed along with us while documenting our experience with photos and videos. Sandra has a 7 year old sourdough starter and I have never had more delicious bread in my life. I would book this tour over and over with each visit to Milano just to spend more time with Sandra.
Fantastic hosts, amazing personalised menu and yummy food we have now learned to make at home. Highly recommend the class with Enrico in Milan!
Our class on tagliatelle was absolutely everything we hoped for! Santa is such a wonderful human, passionate about the process, a fabulous teacher. And the food. Phenomenal! We made memories this day with Santa that we will never forget. Santa, you fulfilled a dream experience for us. Thank you so much for sharing your home, and your knowledge, with us!
Me and my family had a wonderful time at Sissi's during our dining experience. We were a lot of people (7) with many different dietary requirements and she catered to them all and prepared a delicious 4-course dinner. She was also a lovely host and had a beautiful home. I would definitely recommend it!
I would give it more stars if I could. This was the highlight of our first Italy trip. Santa was a great host, very knowledgeable, and had a lot of patience to dedicate to all 6 of us individually and as a group. We learned tips and tricks that we'll use for life and look forward to entertaining our friends and putting the recipes to good use. We made tagliatelle, ravioli and My favorite: Tiramisu :) - Highly recommend booking it with Santa Calia in her own cute and adorable home!
We stayed in Milan for three days and had booked a Cesarine Cooking Class the day before, however, at the last minute our host was unable to meet us that evening. The team at Cesarine immediately rebooked our same cooking course with Nicoletta and Fabio B. who were welcomed us into their beautiful home. Our family had a wonderful time learning about Italian food culture and how important the right quality ingredients of good food, traditional preparation methods, and joy are to make an amazing meal of Ossobuca and Risotto Milanese that is meaningful and memorable for a lifetime. As we were dicing onions and removing the zest from lemons, Fabio explained his family’s recipes that have been passed down through generations. We ended up eating our meal in their beautiful dining area adorned with family history collected from their travels. From a wonderful Nebbiolo red wine to Nicoletta’s limoncello we enjoyed a wonderful evening. Nicoletta even suggested restaurants to continue our Italian slow food experience that embraced local food and traditional cooking on our travel route and her recommendations were amazing. We are believers of Cesarine’s mission of preserving the craft and beauty of traditional Italian cuisine.
I had a really great cooking class together with Annamaria. We made pizzoccheri, mondeghili with salsa verde and pesche al forno. The food was very delicious and I had a really great day.
We loved our experience at Martina’s home! We learned how to make 3 Italian dishes including ravioli and tiramisu. Martina was very accommodating and her home was lovely. This was one of the highlights of our trip! Highly recommend!
It's the first time I've had such an experience, but it certainly exceeded expectations. I had the pleasure of spending time with Beatrice, who immediately demonstrated her passion for cooking, understood as an experience to live and share. We performed together every step accompanied by very useful tips that I will definitely repeat at home. I'm sure I'll come back to learn new delicious recipes. Thank you Bea!!
Renata was the Cesarina who accompanied me and my mother in this beautiful experience in Milan area Buonarroti: everything was seasoned with a handful of passion in the kitchen, a few ounces of sharing and affection enough! Absolutely recommended!!!
