Don’t miss this opportunity!

This cooking experience was exactly what we were looking for! 15 years ago in Rome, my husband and I took a small, in-home class with a chef and had the most wonderful time. Our newly minted adult son wanted to try it too. However, that same opportunity has become commercialized, along with every other option we can find.

Book with Raffaella on Cesarine

We cooked lasagna with Raffaella and it was a great experience! She's very patient and explained each step in details. We made everything from scratch: the ragu, béchamel, pasta. We also made a salad. It took longer than the class time and we appreciate Raffaella spending extra time for us to complete the dishes. Everything was delicious! It made us appreciate Italian cooking more. We recommend booking a class with Raffaella.

Fabulous cooking with Raffaella

Raffaella is WONDERFUL. Kind, generous, interesting, a fabulous cook, and with a taste for the very best Italian food products. We would cook with her (or take one of her market tours) again and again, and we will recommend it to all of our friends. Ten starts out of five -- absolutely great.

Italian Cooking Class

Raffaella was a wonderful teacher and person. My wife and I were her only students this day and it was great being in her home and working with her. It is as if we were friends spending an afternoon together cooking. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the time spent with her. Do this class.
