Amazing cooking class!
Cristiana was wonderful! She welcomed me with my husband and 2 girls (9/11) into her house for an amazing private cooking class. She was very lovely and accommodating with us. She is an excellent teacher and we loved learning to make pasta and tiramisu with her. My 9 y/o girl doesn’t like tiramisu and we made a variation of the original recipe with strawberry and it was amazing! My girl loved it and ate all of it. We made 2 pasta dishes with different sauces and both were yummy. She opened a great red wine bottle that went very well with the pasta. I would recommend her 💯! Thank you for amazing class and wonderful time in your home. We loved feeding the chickens who all had different names! Made with love 💕

Evening to remember!
Michela and Moreno made us feel immediately at home. They welcomed us with an aperitif based on local products and there was immediate harmony between them and our entire group. Michela was able to pass on the passion for fresh pasta even to one of the group who did not even want to try. We chatted a lot with them and the dinner was delicious! Thanks again to both of you for the beautiful evening!

Such a great experience
Michela, is just great! She ist so lovely and has just patient with children! You feel directly like home in her place and it’s super central. I offered this experience for my son’s birthday. She also baked a delicious chocolate cake with the kids! Making pasta with an original Italian chef was so great. She gave us many tips and we had all a great time and a super lunch 👌 thank you so much!

Go and learn to make Gnocchi!
What a great experience and so much fun! Michela taught my husband and I to make potato gnocchi & pumpkin gnocchi. She welcomed us into her home with a wonderful snack and excellent conversation. Then we got to work in her lovely kitchen. She is an excellent teacher and very personable. We left feeling like we had made a new friend and ready to try making gnocchi at home. We will be back for more lessons when we return to Verona. Do not hesitate to take this class.

Pizza & Tiramisu Class
We were lucky to be with Cristiana, who treated us incredibly! I came with my mom and the food was delicious, Cristiana took the time to explain it to us in detail and then we ate the pizza and tiramisu in her garden with a good wine. Experience of 100! I would repeat it again or try a new one for sure. Thank you!

Cesarine: Home Cooking Class & Meal with a Local in Verona: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Verona.
How much does Cesarine: Home Cooking Class & Meal with a Local in Verona cost?
+
Prices start at $166 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Verona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cesarine: Home Cooking Class & Meal with a Local in Verona take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Verona is not rushed.
Is Cesarine: Home Cooking Class & Meal with a Local in Verona worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Verona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cesarine: Home Cooking Class & Meal with a Local in Verona?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cesarine: Home Cooking Class & Meal with a Local in Verona suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cesarine: Home Cooking Class & Meal with a Local in Verona?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Verona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Verona and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cesarine: Home Cooking Class & Meal with a Local in Verona start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Verona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Verona?
+
On Outty we rank every Verona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Verona Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class With Wine by Cooking Italy, Highlights and hidden gems Verona Bike Tour, Verona e-bike tour: city center and panoramic views. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Verona?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Verona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
