Shared Experience
Your experience
Mixing egg, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese (or even fossa cheese), nutmeg, lemon zest, and black pepper, a mixture is obtained from which, by crushing it with a special perforated metal disk equipped with handles (passatelli iron), curved small cylinders are made, which are then cooked in capon or chicken but also beef broth; other variants involve the use of fish broth.
Given the difficult availability of the "ferro," a potato masher with large holes is very often used, also found only in some regions, and only with this tool can very long passatelli be obtained, more suitable, for example, to be served dry.

- Hi There. We are Staci and Sonja from Edmonton, AB. Canada Our experience took place on April 23, 2019. This was my first trip to Italy and as a home cook here in Canada, I wanted to share in a culinary experience in Italy. I wanted this to be a private class only in the home of a true authentic chef. La Cesarine provided exactly what I wanted. Lucy was my go to from home and answered all my questions quickly so I knew exactly what to expect. Our hosts were Nicoletta and Fabio. Their home was located close to our hotel as promised. Prior to leaving Canada we requested a menu which our hosts graciously approved. We arrived at their home at 530 and stayed until late evening. It was a beautiful Italian home full of charm and history. Our hosts were sweet, kind, and funny. We shared cooking chores, recipes and a fantastic dinner with drinks and great conversation. I could not have asked for a better couple to show me the Italian way of cooking. I would definitely share an evening with them again. We arrived as strangers but left as friends.
- My family and I enjoyed two dining experiences with Le Cesarine in Milano and Verona. Fabio and Nicoletta in Milan were such welcoming hosts, with an interesting and lovely apartment decorated with items from their extensive travels. The local wine flowed and the conversation was lively. Every dish was perfectly prepared. And the pumpkin risotto proved to be the ultimate comfort food. Silvia in Verona took extra care to provide an authentic, enjoyable, and relaxing Veronese dining experience. She was engaging, charming, witty, and funny with a contagious smile and laugh. That she spoke little English and I even less Italian mattered not one iota. In fact, this made it more fun. Oh, and her menu suggestions were spot on, from the polenta topped with various meats and fish to the Renga delicacy and a wonderful tiramisu, all paired with local wines from the Veneto. The website and company (Lucy in particular) is so helpful and a pleasure to work with. The chefs are professional, skilled, and full of wonderful stories and cooking tips. We will be sure to include a meal with Le Cesarine on all of our future trips to Italy!
