Cancelled on us

Unforutnately cannot give a full review of this experience as they cancelled on us (just like the other 1 star review). We signed up for a 5pm class and got it confirmed. The evening before they cancelled our reservation. I would not book this unless you are very flexible with your plans. Quite disappointing, as we were looking forward to it as a birthday celebration!

Operator response

Dear Charlie, thank you for your email. It is always important to listen to our customers. We are very sorry to read these lines since we always try to do our best in order to provide the greatest experience possible for our guests. Unfortunately because we are not as structured as a restaurant, sometimes it happens that our Cesarine have a sudden inconvenience (they might wake up in the morning and feel sick, they might have a medical appointment, or other issues) and we might not be able to find a new host available with such short notice. We are truly, truly sorry about what you went through. In these cases, we always proceed with a full refund. We are aware this does not entirely compensate having to cancel your event, but trying to reschedule, and if that's not possible then proceed with a full refund, it's the best we can do. We remain at your complete disposal and we do hope you will give us the opportunity to host you in the future. Best wishes,

Nul. They canceled twice.

Suck! They canceled twice the same day. They're not serious at all. The first time I said the chief was sick. And the second time the next day while we were on time for the appointment they cancelled without giving any explanation. Suck!

Operator response

Dear Sir, Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion with us. It is always important for us to listen from our customers in order to improve our service. Here at Cesarine we always try to do our best in order to provide unforgettable experiences. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. You are right to require the best from Cesarine and we're sorry that you didn't have what you expected. Unfortunately our Cesarina in Desenzano was ill and she was not able to host you on the dates you booked :-( We are truly sorry about this and we hope you will give us another chance on your next trip to Italy! We remain at your complete disposal, Cesarine Team

A must do!!!

This was the highlight of our trip. Mario is a delight. She is funny and pure joy. We had the most amazing time. Also got to meet and talk with her family. Plus the food was fantastic. Loved every minute of our time together.

Aula de culinária na casa da cesarine Patrizia em Desenzano del Garda

The experience of cooking with Cesarina Patrizia was wonderful. Patrizia listened to me at home with great cordiality and told me about the customs of the cocina del sur de Italia. We prepared a delicious lunch that we then enjoyed. An experience worth living.

Highly recommend!

Cooking class with Marina was one of the highlights of my trip. She is a wonderful host. All of the food we prepared was delicious and I plan to recreate the dishes at home. My husband, son and I enjoyed learning from Marina and talking with her and her husband. She was great with my son who is almost 9 years old. I highly recommend this class!
