    Every Neapolitan on Sunday morning thanks Ferdinand of Bourbon because they wake up to the smell of ragù cooking for hours. After all, without the ragù, what is a Sunday?

    Gragnano's rigata pasta will be delicately enveloped in the noble sauce, generously sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, and the meat that gave its flavor will join the aromatic friarielli, expertly sautéed. A Neapolitan Sunday without this meal would not be the same.

    We had an absolutely incredible in-home Italian cooking experience that we will never forget! From the moment we arrived, our host was warm, welcoming, and so patient as she guided us through making amazing ravioli, delicious croquettes, and the perfect tiramisu all from scratch. Eugenia took her time explaining each step, offering tips and techniques that made the process fun and approachable. One of the highlights was that she provided us with detailed notes to take home, so we could recreate the magic in our own kitchen. After all our fun work in the kitchen, she invited us to sit down in her beautiful dining room—where she served us the meal we had just prepared. It was the perfect way to end the afternoon, and truly felt like a slice of Italy right at home. This experience was more than just a cooking class—it was a warm, immersive cultural experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for something special and authentic.

    Visiting the historical city center of Naples means passing through twenty centuries of history. The streets, squares, churches, monuments, public buildings and castles are a treasure trove of artistic and historical treasures. Moreover, the aromas of the local cooking are the ideal introduction to a place that can truly enchant anyone.  You will also be enchanted when you enter our Cesarino’s eighteenth-century building located in the heart of the city. The structure houses a Vanvitelli staircase, as well as the apartment where Cesarino Francesco lives.   His strong curiosity for the culinary arts and meeting his wife, who is also a lover of good food, has led him to experiment with new recipes, without ever forgetting the love and bond he has for and with the local gastronomic traditions. Traditions like the ever- present ragù at Sunday lunch (because, for Neapolitans, Sunday is not Sunday without ragù) and the flavors of the sea in the dishes prepared during the hot summer months (always refreshing, light and delicate).
