Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina
Shared Experience
Your experience
- Grandma's cavatelli pasta (Sorrento-style gnocchi)
- Migliaccio cake (semolina cake)
On the occasion of this cooking class, I open the doors of my home in Naples, where I can’t wait to welcome my guests and share a true family-style experience with them. Together, we’ll discover how to prepare gnocchi, the iconic dish of the Italian Sunday—one that smells of home, generous tables, and tradition.
Through this experience, you’ll learn how to make them like a true Cesarina, following the teachings of my grandmother of Irpinian origin, guardian of time-honored gestures and recipes passed down from generation to generation. After learning all the secrets of gnocchi (or cavatelli), we’ll move on to preparing dessert: Migliaccio, the traditional sweet made during the Carnival season. All of this will unfold amid laughter, stories of Neapolitan life, and a good glass of wine.

- This was so much fun ! The prepping and making pizza and other dishes . The couple was so helpful I learned more in this intimate adventure than doing anything else . Their knowledge and expertise was so uncommercial and far from touristy . Charming fun knowledgeable couple
- We booked a private Neapolitan cooking class with Rosa and Sean on our honeymoon, and it was the highlight of our time in Naples. Both were wonderful teachers, patient, warm, and clearly passionate about their craft. They went well beyond technique. Along with showing us how to cook, they explained the history behind each recipe and the significance of the ingredients, which made the meal mean far more than just following steps. They also gave us excellent recommendations around Naples, which shaped the rest of our trip. We left full, happy, and with skills we'll actually use at home. Highly recommend to anyone who wants an authentic experience, not a tourist class.
- Very enjoyable,wonderful host. Rosa was the ideal host gently correcting our clumsiness and offering encouragement all in good humour. Fantastic experience and highly recommend Rosa
- Rosa was fantastic and the food was delicious! Truly a great experience!
- I really enjoyed my experience. I had some personal requests and Rosa adapted the recipes to please me. With her husband, she went above and beyond what I had expected. I had a very good time learning the Napolitan recipes but also, through our discussions, I learned about Napolitan history, where to find different typical Napolitan food, etc. I recommend this class to people who want a true Neapolitan experience

Cesarina from 2025Location: Naples (NA) Languages: Italian, English, FrenchFor me, cooking means sharing: I love cooking for others and creating moments of togetherness. Originally from Avellino and Neapolitan by adoption, I’ve learned to combine my family traditions with the energy and vibrancy of the city. Ragù, genovese, pastiera, pasta and potatoes, caprese, escarole pizza, tiramisù, clams (and much more — the list would be endless!) are never missing from my table!
