      Pasta Making Class
      Had a great class with Laura! She was very kind and had a beautiful view. Very close to the cruise port. We made pasta and tiramisu

      Pasta & Tiramisu making
      The cookery lesson was very good and food very tasty and our host Angela was lovely and had a great sense of humour. I feel it was very expensive especially as we only had one bottle of wine between 3 of us over 3 hours and I paid £372! I appreciate we are paying for the hosts expertise and time but I didn’t think it was value for money

      Cooking class in Catania
      Antonella was an amazing host and a great teacher! Food was fantastic! We met our host at her home in Catania and enjoyed our time chatting and making some delicious authentic pasta dishes.

      Very Poor Experience!!!
      Very Poor Experience!!! Warning!!!. Be Very Cautious when making a booking with Cesarine for any Italian Food Experience in Italy as this could be a costly exercise !!! Their advertising is unclear or misleading and their “Customer Service Team” is not interested in customer service and will just pay you lip service.. In summary, Cesarine took $200 Euros from us and provided nothing in return…. Our Experience :- We decided to book a cooking class for 4 people as a last minute decision while holidaying in Catania with Cesarine. We made a booking on Tuesday 17th September at 8.00pm for a 1.00pm cooking class scheduled for the following day - Wednesday 18th September. We received a message from the host at 9.00pm on Tuesday 17th as quoted below. “Hi, I just received your reservation. Do you know that you booked a lunch and not a cooking class?” (This implies the host has previously had an issue with bookings or there has been some confusion regarding bookings on their site in the past…) I replied within 1 hour at 10.00pm to ask to cancel as we had wanted to book for a cooking class and not a lunch. I was told that Cesarine could not provide a refund and cancel the booking as we needed to provide “24 hours notice” to cancel. It would have been impossible to provide a 24 hour notice as the booking was only made 17 hours before the start time of the event.. We believe neither Cesarine nor the host would have been out of pocket or incurred any cost as this issue unfolded within 2 hours of my initial booking at 8.00 pm on Tuesday. The host offered to provide a pasta lunch and a dessert for 4 people for the $200 Euro price. We did not see this as fair value so we declined her offer. ($200 Euro for 4 plates of pasta and 4 desserts is very expensive compared to other restaurants we attended in Sicily) In summary, this has been the Worst experience we have had in Italy, we are all very disappointed and we are not at all satisfied with the outcome. We will be disputing the $200 Euro payment with our credit card supplier. We feel obliged to warn tourists to be Very Careful when Dealing with Cesarine!!! Mick & Linda Australia

      Don’t miss this experience!
      This is truly a once in a lifetime experience. We enjoyed a fabulous evening with Chef Maurizio in his home. We cooked pasta (2 types) and Tiramisu. It’s one of the best experiences we’ve ever had when travelling. We’d highly recommend it. Whilst seeing ancient buildings might be wonderful there is nothing that will get you closer to Sicilian culture than sharing food in a locals home.

      not as expected...
      not enough hands on experience and recipes were not shared as promised despite multiple attempts. Was not informed even of the apartment number so on the day of the lesson, we stood outside the building waiting to find out what the apartment number was. The food was great but I thought the point of the lesson was to be able to cook it yourself in the future. So many things were already prepared beforehand that there is no way we could prepare that meal we ate that day which is why I asked for the recipes. very disappointing for the total cost.

      Great cooking class
      We had a wonderful evening with Giusi where we not only learned a lot but also enjoyed conversations in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. It was truly a memorable experience.

      Wonderful pasta class - trip highlight
      We learned how to make two different types of pasta, and tiramisu. Marilù, our instructor, was patient, and detailed. We had a great time, and the food turned out delicious. This class was one of the highlights of my trip to Sicily.

      Amazing time learning to make pasta at the chef’s home!
      This was so much fun making authentic Italian in the chefs kitchen! Not only did we leave full and happy after eating pasta we made and tiramisu to die for, but the setting was absolutely beautiful. I have to say I loved Chef Maurizio, but the highlight for me was Chef’s sister. An amazing cook in her own right, and though she didn’t speak a word of English, my group had no problem deciphering her playful banter with her brother or her directions for us. Amazing experience. Don’t pass it up.

      Maurizio.
      It is said that the gods gave Sicily to Sicilians. Maurizio in Catania cooks food for the gods. His knowledge and passion for the soil, sun, volcanic ash and the sea combines with great culinary skill to create a superb meal and cooking experience to savour. First Class and wonderful host.

      Exceptional
      This was my favorite excursion in Italy. This experience was amazing to share with my daughter because of the warm hospitality of the host. It will be great making an authentic dish of pasta and tiramisu with some sweet people.

      Dinner at Sunset
      Our family had such a marvelous time with Andrea and Graziella! The view from their balcony is stunning!! You can see the city to one side and Mt. Etna on the other. We went at dinner time and the sunset was incredible. Andrea and Graziella are wonderful hosts that made us feel so welcomed. It was like a family dinner. Making the pasta was so much fun and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend anyone traveling through to make a stop with Andrea and Graziella, you’ll leave full in spirit and in your belly!

      Good class but terrible customer management
      The pasta course itself was great and Cesarine Francesca was delightful and wonderful with our group. She even picked me up and dropped me back after. However, not her fault, I had my original personal class canceled for no reason- even the Cesarina I was booked with got canceled and she was ready to go. Now I find my Cesarine booking in Cefalu has also been canceled, due to it being peak season. It is not and I booked it and got confirmation 4 weeks ago. Terrible service and management!!

      BEST SICILIAN COOKING CLASS
      If we could give you 10 stars we would. Marilu and her husband made us feel welcome and comfortable immediately in their beautiful home, The cooking class was interactive and fun, we made 2 pasta dishes and Tiramisu from scratch. Afterwards we enjoyed all the food. Thankyou very much we will reccomend you to all our family and friends in Canada 🇨🇦 and in England 🇬🇧 Molto Grazi
