- Ravioli
It is a tradition in my family to make fresh pasta, and my grandmother's ravioli are always the most popular. After a trip to Sorrento, my grandmother tried out this recipe, which we still often cook on special occasions. A filling of zucchini, basil, scamorza cheese, and ricotta makes these ravioli simply delicious, especially when sautéed in butter with cream cheese, black pepper, and basil. And when paired with my grandfather's homemade wine, the aromas and flavors become truly unforgettable. Grandparents are a great treasure!

- Imagine having to go to lunch with a couple of friends or relatives (the ones you like, mind you), and then add a spectacular view of the gulf and Vesuvius. Well, that’s how we felt, like having lunch with people you haven’t seen in a while, but it only takes a moment to reconnect. Emanuela and Maurizio were wonderful hosts, and it wasn’t just about lunch. They explained everything explainable about that marvelous city, Naples, and they made us feel part of something, even if only for a few hours. You can really tell they believe in what they do, and those who believe in it rarely do it badly. It goes without saying that the experience related purely to the food was excellent, and even I, who am celiac, was able to eat the same typical dishes as everyone else, with ingredients dedicated to me. Emanuela and Maurizio aren’t our relatives, but… well, if you could choose your family, we’d want them exactly like this. ❤️
- For my husband’s birthday, we went to Emanuela and Maurizio’s house to experience a cooking class! It was simply a magical evening! First of all, the atmosphere: Emanuela and Maurizio’s house is an enchanting place, full of warmth and hospitality. We immediately felt at home, as if we were with family. The cooking class was an incredible experience! We were guided step by step in preparing delicious dishes and learned many tricks and secrets of Italian cuisine. But the real value of this evening was the time spent together!! We felt like one big family, we laughed, joked and savored every moment. The food, of course, was exquisite! And the fact that we prepared it ourselves made it even more special. Thank you, Emanuela and Maurizio, for giving us this unforgettable evening! We are already ready to return for another culinary adventure together!
- It was truly a beautiful experience: Emanuela is a wonderful hostess and knows a whole series of tricks that help you with the preparation and writing of your "dough"! We made ravioli with her, and we were able to appreciate how important it is in the kitchen to use all the available materials! I highly recommend trying it, and then the view is worth it in itself!!!!
- Our fresh pasta cooking course with Emanuela was easily the highlight of our trip to Napoli. From beginning to end, Emanuela and her partner Maurizio were warm, welcoming, and accommodating. Emanuela welcomed us into her beautiful home and pointed out the beautiful features of Napoli and across the bay. Then we got to work cooking! She went step by step, helping us to make fresh pasta and tiramisu. The experience was very fun, and the meal was hands down the best meal I had on my Italy trip! And was enjoyed with a beautiful view and with very good limoncello and wine. Truly nothing beats homemade food. We had reached out prior regarding dietary restrictions (I don't eat pork, and my husband doesn't drink) and Emanuela was very accommodating. Also, because of difficulties with transportation, for a reasonable fee Maurizio shuttled us to and from the residence, even stopping for us to enjoy panoramic views and take pictures. These accomodations made the entire experience stress free so we could fully enjoy and live in the moment. Grazi for making our visit to Napoli so incredible!
- An absolutely beautiful and authentic Italian experience. Emanuela and her husband were both so kind and I cannot wait to try recreating the recipe she taught us!

Where
Emanuela
Cesarina from 2018Location: Naples (NA) Languages: Italian and EnglishNestled in the gulf, Naples wakes up to views of its splendid sea every day. The same sea which the large, green balcony of our Cesarina's house overlooks, and which offers a breathtaking panorama.
The house where Emanuela is hosting us is spacious, furnished with traditional, refined in taste and flooded with light. Emanuela’s passion for the culinary arts goes back to when she was still a small child, peeking into “mama’s" kitchen. Our Cesarina is a clever mosaic: her intuition for the accompaniments and perfect combinations has made her an expert in the art of preparing good food. Flavors and fragrances are skillfully put together to tell the history and traditions of her region.
