- The class was great: we tried a lot of recipies, including gsabei, gnocchi, tiramisu. I also asked a lot of questions about other dishes that I have cooked and got great advice. I was glad that I took a taxi from the train station: it saved a lot of stress when reaching the class. I really appreciated the chance to talk over the food that we made, and it was very nice to see the less touristy parts of the region.
- This cooking class was incredible! We had so much fun drinking vino and making Italian dishes! Daniela was great - she invited us into her lovely home and was incredibly friendly. Her generosity (along with her culinary skills) did not go unnoticed. I will be sure to make these dishes again, as they were delicious. I would highly recommend Daniela and her class to anyone looking for an authentic experience in La Spezia.
- We had a lovely evening with Daniela and her husband Gianni. We learnt a lot about Ligurian food and how to make it, which was super fun. Daniela is an engaging and patient teacher, and an excellent cook. The food is delicious and there is a lot of it: you will not leave hungry! Aside from the food, Daniela and Gianni are super friendly. It was really nice to be welcomed into their home and spend some time having some drinks with them and getting to know them.
- Great experience with Daniela. She and husband opened their home and we felt very welcomed. So much food, all very delicious. The red sauce was magnificent. She shared her recipes as well. Highly recommend this.
- Daniela mi ha accolto come in famiglia, è stata un’esperienza molto bella ed è stato un piacere condividere con lei le ricette tipiche del luogo.

Daniela
Cesarina from 2018Location: La Spezia Languages: Italian and EnglishThe city of La Spezia is located practically on the border between Liguria and Tuscany. It is the ideal starting point to visit the splendid Cinque Terre and other characteristic villages in the area, such as Lerici and Porto Venere. With the sea in front of the city and the mountains behind, it is fascinating to admire it from above from San Giorgio castle, and experience its unique flavor through its culinary offerings, which reflect a combination of land and sea, evolution and experimentation. Seated around Daniela's table, you’ll experience a procession of traditional recipes. Our Cesarina offers the classic cuisine of La Spezia, the result of the fusion of different traditions from the neighboring regions. Daniela's prepares her dishes using simple ingredients. However, once combined, they give life to both strong and delicate flavors at the same time, recipes like 'sgabei' – raised bread dough that is cut into strips, fried, stuffed with cheeses or locally cured cold cuts, 'muscoli' (mussels) in a variety of versions and, of course, an absolute must, 'pesto' (sauce made from basil).
