Dinner in Siena, Cesarine Last night, 11/13/2023 my wife booked a dinner with a local host. We arrived at Enza’s home, she instantly welcomed us and invited us to her kitchen. Enza had the finest local ingredients, including olive oil from her parent’s olive grove. She had local bread, salami, fresh ricotta, pecorino, parmigiana, and fresh herbs from her garden. She also had red and white wine, and sparkling and still water. Prior to the first course she asked what we would like for dessert, we opted for a chocolate cake. Enza started with the cake, so it would be ready in time for dessert. Now to the appetizer!! A sliced tomato with basil, salt and pepper, toasted bread with olive oil, salami, and pecorino cheese. Simple but absolutely delicious and perfectly presented! Next we prepared the primi, ravioli with ricotta and parmigiana cheese. Enza prepared the filling and made the first batch of pasta dough, and I made the second batch. Again, so simple but so delicious. I’ve made pasta before, but never been taught technique, now I have a new skill! There was some leftover dough, so we turned it into spaghetti noodles and tagliatelle noodles. The next course, the secondi was a beef stew, stewed in chianti wine in a pressure cooker for three hours (started before we arrived). The final course was the cake that was started before the appetizer. Enza served it with frozen cream, not a flavored ice cream, but frozen cream. Another wow moment, the cake was spectacular and paired with the frozen cream, absolutely amazing! We had a great conversation with Enza about life in Siena, and her kids with school. This is absolutely a memorable night, and if anyone reading this has the chance to book a dinner like this, do not hesitate, I would imagine that anyone who takes the reservation will be great, but if you’re in Siena and get to have this experience with Enza, you will be wowed! Tomorrow for dinner we get to have the leftovers, including the wine!!

Patricia was wonderful. We are so sorry that we didn’t take a picture of her showing us how to make pasta and a picture of the wonderful food we had. After we wish we had taken a picture of her and her husband and the lovely young girl that interpreted for her.In our week and a half here it was one of the best experiences we’ve had. if there’s any way we could have a picture of her and her husband for a souvenir that would be lovely. We were so interested in her cooking technique we didn’t think to take out our camera . If possible please email us their photo.Wonderful experience!!!👏🙏❤️

This was an incredible experience with Patrizia. We shopped for ingredients for the dinner then in her home we made pasta and ate the meal including multiple courses, wine and dessert. We spent a time with her sons and her husband who joined us in the meal. LOVED this experience and I recommend it t others!!
