An evening to cherish! - The food was wonderful, but the best experience is the welcoming into a total strangers home and feeling like you have been friends for years. We are so glad to meet Daniela and her husband Gianno and know we have new friends in La Spevia

Most incredible evening - We had the best meal we had our entire trip in Italy. Not only was the food spectacular, but our host and hostess were incredible. Thank you Paula and Massimo for opening your home up to us and making us feel like part of your family.

Roberta & Ricardo are lovely, welcoming hosts. Roberta's cooking is divine - especially her lasagna. - Roberta & Ricardo are lovely, welcoming hosts. Roberta's cooking is divine. She patiently answered our many questions - and she customized for preferences in our group. Her lasagna is perhaps the best thing we've eaten after a week in Italy. One minor consideration: their beautiful home is a little outside of La Spezia and taxis can be tricky. Highly recommend dining with Cesarine!

Once in a lifetime experience, do not pass this up. - Not to be missed! Daniele, our Cesarina, is an amazing chef and host. She is warm, welcoming, entertaining, and the multi-course meal she prepared was the best we had on our Italy vacation. Everything was homemade, right down to the after dinner drinks of Lemoncello and coffee liquor. If you only do one cooking class/demo, DO THIS ONE!

Great dinner! - It was a very surprising and enjoyable evening of food at our hosts’ home. The meal was amazing and the people could not have been any better. We lost track of time because it was so good and stayed a little later than we thought but everyone enjoyed the time together! Great way to experience La Spezia!
