Your experience

    With a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Poets, we will cook and taste many of my mom’s beloved recipes: Nonna Luciana’s specialties! I will guide you through preparing delicious dishes that you’ll not only remember but also be able to recreate for your loved ones.

    Our menu will be a true celebration of Ligurian tradition: the famous crispy cod fritters, made with top-quality ingredients; homemade ravioli, crafted with the freshest local produce; and to finish, a delightful rice cake featuring a special ingredient... lemons from my centuries-old tree!

    We highly recommend a cooking class with Paola. We were warmly welcomed and were able to prepare delicious delicacies with her, such as baccalà fritters, ravioli with ricotta-lemon filling, and rice cakes. We thoroughly enjoyed the shared lunch with Paola and her husband Massimo. They are both incredibly friendly people who make you feel immediately welcome and at home. Thank you Paola and Massimo for your hospitality; we will cherish this experience in our memories.

    We highly recommend Paola’s cooking class! Paola and Massimo were very kind, patient and accommodating, the class was so fun and all the food was delicious! Their house is beautiful and it was a great experience. They were very generous and showed us many different delicacies such as meat, cheese and wine. We got lost on the way and they helped pick us up and drop us off at the station which was lovely.

    An exemplary cooking class with marvelous, kind, and wonderful hosts! Paola is a patient teacher with her students, carefully showing each step before letting me try for myself and explaining each step. It was also wonderful to share a meal with them after the class so we could enjoy what we made. In addition, they very kindly helped direct me both to their house and back to my accommodation -- if you're coming from the historical area of La Spezia by bus, take the 18, not the 21!!! In short, I recommend this course for an enriching and powerful experience. If I could, Paola and Massimo, I would give you 100 stars. Thank you!

    EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! Paola and her wonderful family welcomed us warmly and made us part of their family for the evening. We prepared our meal and then sat together to enjoy it in the outdoor dining area, chatting about our lives. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic experience in La Spezia. Thank you again Paola!

    Paola

    Cesarina from 2018Location: La Spezia (SP)    Languages: Italian, English, French
    San Venerio, a small village in the hills of La Spezia that borders the gulf and the islands of the Tuscan archipelago, is located in a splendid position for both climate and view.  In this corner of paradise, we can enjoy the delicacies that Cesarina Paola has prepared with a typically Ligurian flavor. Ligurian cuisine has an ancient tradition that reflects the unique characteristics of the geographical area. Being close to both the sea and the mountains has created a combination of land and sea dishes.   This is what we will find seated around Paola's table: a very varied gastronomic repertoire, where not only the origins of the ingredients vary, but also the tradition from which the dishes derive.
