Hi from Massimiliano!

There’s a pleasant view of the main Florentine monuments that can be enjoyed from the windows and the small terrace. The Florentine soul of the neighborhood can still be felt in its small artisan studios and shops, where only local products can be seen in the windows.In this atmosphere, where time seems to have stopped, we meet Massimiliano. Our Cesarino is a true cooking enthusiast. From the time he was a child, he was educated in the use and knowledge of basic ingredients: from cuts of meat to the choice of seasonal vegetables -  in a word, quality.Today, Massimiliano sets his table with an eye on the finest detail, and his sense of enjoyment can be felt. He always accompanies his traditional dishes with pleasant conversation and, of course, with good wine!

This was a personal lesson in a chef's home. He was an acclaimed chef. Beyond the food and prep, Max told us a lot about Italian food and eating. He is extremely knowledgeable of the culture a various locations around Italy and how the locale dictates the food and food choices.

It was lovely to have the experience of joining a local in their home and being shown some of the dishes from the area. My host Massimiliano was very welcoming and explained the processes involved in making the food. Good food, wine and company.

This was one of our highlights of our Florence trip! Massimiliano was charming and took great delight in showing us how to prepare 2 Italian dishes and desserts. His pride and love for Italian cooking was so evident and made us feel so welome in his home. Not only did we enjoy teh actual preparation of the dishes but also the conversation that ensued over the delicous pasta, tiramisu and wine. We can't wait to try these new recipes on our friends. We will always remember Massimilaono (Max's) hospitality. We hghly recommend this experience.
