    An absolute delight in the Tuscan countryside

    Dina and her family were an absolute delight. They picked us up in Arezzo and took us to her house. We made spinach and ricotta raviolis along with other delicious delicacies. We topped it off with homemade tiramisu that we made. A great evening with conversation and food. We recommend this experience if you want an authentic evening.

    A Wonderful, Italian In-Home Cooking Experience!

    TODD_S, Jul 2025
    If you are ever in the Arezzo area and seeking an authentic, in-home Italian cooking experience, I highly recommend booking an experience with Dina associated with Cesarine through Viator! Dina and members of her family were so warm and kind welcoming me and my family into her home. The home itself is located in a lovely setting with a charming garden in which we ate dinner under the setting Tuscan sun. Dina, with the assistance of her English-speaking relatives, did a great job explaining and demonstrating various aspects of the processes involved in the three recipes she selected to fit the season before putting us to work to complete the process. The meal was delicious; the prosecco, wine, and digestif were so good; and the company was delightful!

    Amazing

    Our chef and host, Francisco, was wonderful! We made a salad appetizer, pasta dish and dessert. He was relaxed and patient with our 10 year old and was really informative about Tuscan cooking and history, Our 4 hours flew by! Definitely a highlight of our trip and we would recommend this experience to anyone traveling to Italy who loves food and getting to meet someone local.

    Great food and great atmosphere

    Great Ending to Our Vacation

    What a terrific ending to our vacation: a private cooking class at the home of Stefania and hubby Guiseppe. They both were so welcoming and were the absolute best. We made a simple bruschetta, tiramisu (her secret ingredient: mix a bit of Italian sweet wine with the coffee!) and home-made pasta for our lunch. Simple but so very tasty. Stefania had the google app for translation, and I had another app so communication was easy and flowing. I would definitely do this again, but next time I would try dinner. Thank you Stefania and Guiseppe!
