Cooking class success! - This was one of most memorable experiences we had while in Italy! Enza was a fantastic hostess/teacher. It felt like a family gathering. Not only did we bring back the experience, we brought back recipes of some of the best food we had while in Italy. Everybody agreed it was the best tiramisu we’ve EVER had. I feel I now have the confidence to make homemade pasta instead of reaching for a box. I highly recommend.

Excellent food and company. Wonderful experience - Ilara was the most amazing host. Everything was pretty much perfect. From the moment we arrived at her home we were welcomed in and made to feel one of the family. We learnt to make delicious pasta and tiramisu. After cooking we sat down to a meal with her family. We all sat outside in the dappled sunshine and enjoyed a wonderful meal with Ilara, her husband Stefano and their daughter. Stefano shared wine from the vineyard he works at with us and we all sat and enjoyed beautiful Italian hospitality. Right from booking Ilara was responsive and very helpful. We were a group of 8 and it was a very special day. Thank you so much Ilara and Stefano for such a great experience!

Our night spent with... - Our night spent with Ilaria was one of the best nights of our 2 week trip in Italy . We cooked 2 types of pasta and tiramisu. She also had a “baby tiramisu “ for us to take back to the hotel to enjoy another night! Ilaria was warm, kind and generous! We shared the lovely meal with her husband and 14 year old daughter. Everything was delicious! Homemade ragu, bruschetta, wine completed our meal. Ilaria was a great teacher and I would highly recommend an evening spent with her at her beautiful home outside of Siena.

Super fun experience! - My fiance and I had the best time at this pasta and tiramisu class! From the moment we arrived, Cesarine Enza made us feel so welcome. She was just so warm nd passionate about teaching, explaining each step clearly, and making sure we were all involved. The setting was intimate and cozy, which made the experience even more special. The tagliatelle we made was incredible, and the tiramisu was hands down the best I’ve ever tasted! It was a such an authentic experience and I’ll never forget it. Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Siena!

Highlight of our trip! - This experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Our group learned how to make delicious ravioli, tagliatelle and tiramisu from scratch, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Not only was Genny an amazing host and teacher, she was also so kind. Along with Genny, we also met her family, which made the experience more special. Her whole family went above and beyond to welcome us. She even had birthday candles for our tiramisu since it was my husband's birthday. I cannot recommend this cooking course enough!

Wonderful experience - We had a great time with this cooking class. Genny had us make tiramisu, ravioli, and tagliatelle. Her kitchen had everything we needed and she was an excellent teacher. She prepared a delicious charcuterie which we enjoyed with wine on their lovely deck while she got things ready for lunch. Her husband,son, niece and nephew were there so it was a fun family lunch! This experience was one of the highlights of our time in Tuscany.
