Reviews
Barbara met us in a nearby square and accompanied us to her home. It was such a surprise to actually enter into a real home in Venice - when you explore the city, you always wonder what it's like to actually live there, and this gave us a taste!
Barbara showed us around her beautiful home, and the table was set with lovely dishes and cloths, so we felt really special. We tasted plenty of wine, sourced from her friends in the Veneto area, and as for the food... It was just wonderful, and she explained the fascinating stories behind every ingredient. She was the most welcoming host.
I will never forget the amazing "seppie ripiene", the delicate "baccalà mantecato", and artichoke hearts, or the generous helpings of "spaghetti con le vongole" and the typical "frittole" sweets that were on our menu that night.
Everything came from the local market and was so much better than the food we tried in the local restaurants. Plus, there were second helpings... :)
I also want to add that the staff at Cesarine were very kind, and answered all my questions. The booking process was easy thanks to their friendly service. Thank you!
I will be recommending this experience to all my friends. It was unforgettable and I can't wait to book again on my next trip. I found out that Cesarine have hosts all over Italy, so I'll be spoilt for choice next time.
Barbara, our host, was AMAZING!! She walked to meet us so we wouldn’t get lost; welcomed us in her home and most of all, helped me pull off making the dinner a surprise 50th party for one of the ladies (with an amazing cake with candles)!
I can’t speak enough about the food. I’m the picky eater in the group and left with NO complaints; aside from how to take the risotto with me. We made the mistake of comparing all other meals in Italy and Greece to Barbara’s and it did not compare.
If you want something different, more intimate and not at a cookie-cutter restaurant, I recommend giving this company a try!
