Dine like a local…
Hands down, Italy has some of the very best food in the world. Vastly different from the fish, seafood and semolina pasta and pizza of Southern Italy, the northern reaches that border Europe are engaged in farming, not fishing. North of Milan, the food specializes in polenta, egg noodles and cheeses, osso buco, and farm fresh dairy dishes.
Regardless of your latitude there, Italian cuisine is frequently ranked as the best in the world, and is loved for its high-quality, fresh ingredients, that regional diversity, and simplicity.
And while the country is awash in spectacular restaurants, consider dining with a family of sorts, featuring intimate, home-hosted meals with Cesarine—Italy’s oldest network of local cooks offering the most authentic way to experience Italian culture.
Temporarily joining the Cesarine family for dinner is considered an insider’s move, a savvy way to skip crowded restaurants and experience dining the Italian way, in a private home, with travelers in the know, like yourself.
It’s a small, intimate gathering of others, and a chance to peek into a real home kitchen, and discover how recipes handed down from generation to generation, taste even more delicious as locally sourced ingredients are married together to become the perfect meal.
Cesarine acts a a portal, connecting neighborhood Italian hosts to travelers seeking an immersive experience into the culinary culture of the Italian kitchen. Cesarine partners offer not just a meal, but a glimpse into a rapidly fading way of life, where conversation replaces dinnertime media scrolling, where food and social intercourse remind you that la dolce vita is only a mouth full away.
Buon appetito!
