Cooking class - This cooking class was great. Our hosts Graziella and Andrea were very welcoming and they made the experience so much fun. This is definitely a must-do in Catania. P.S. if you happen to get the same amazing hosts as we did, make sure you appreciate the absolutely gorgeous view they have!

Excellent cooking and dining experience - Angela was the most gracious and thoughtful host. She was well prepared to teach us tips on how to make every item that we would be eating. She let us do the work and told funny stories along the way. Treated us just like family and I walked out feeling like I had a new friend. And the food wasfantastic! The pasta dishes were unique not something you would normally eat and the tiramisu was out of this world. I would highly recommend this event for three hours of fun, family, and dining.

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.

A fun, educational and enjoyable evening - Andrea & Graziella were the greatest of hosts! They made us feel welcomed and we had a fun night dining on their rooftop terrace. They were very informative and fun, showing us how to make pasta and tiramisu! Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

Avoid — No Flexibility Even When Their Booking Fails - Our experience with Cesarine was extremely disappointing and highlights serious flaws in both their booking process and customer service. We booked a cooking class believing it would take place in Naples, only to discover — less than 24 hours in advance — that the reservation was actually in Catania, on a completely different island. This is not a minor misunderstanding; it is a fundamental booking failure. A platform built entirely around location-based experiences should make it virtually impossible to confuse two cities that are this far apart. Instead of acknowledging this issue, Cesarine hid behind automated reminders and generic policies. Repeating that emails contained the correct address does not excuse a booking flow that clearly failed to communicate one of the most critical elements of the experience. What is most concerning is the complete lack of accountability and flexibility. Despite the obvious and significant mismatch, Cesarine refused any form of solution — no refund, no partial compensation, no credit, and no possibility to rebook. The response was rigid, transactional, and entirely indifferent to the situation. Politeness in wording does not compensate for a total absence of customer care. This felt less like dealing with a hospitality platform and more like dealing with a system designed to deflect responsibility at all costs. In summary: • A booking process that fails at the most basic level: clearly communicating location • Zero willingness to resolve an очевидно unreasonable situation • Customer service that prioritizes policy over fairness and common sense We paid for an experience we never had, due to a preventable issue, and were left with no support or solution. Based on this experience, we would strongly advise others to be extremely cautious when booking through this platform.
