Shared Experience
Your experience
Live a magical experience for sea lovers. I will welcome you to a beautiful hillside location facing Portofino. I will offer you a three-course menu, starting with a delicious appetizer with focaccia Ligure. Ravioli filled with garden herbs and ricotta cheese, topped with butter and sage. To finish, you will delight in a coffee and lemon tiramisu, prepared strictly with our lemons. In good weather, we will be able to enjoy lunch or dinner on the veranda overlooking the pool and Portofino. Otherwise, we will move inside the house. I look forward to welcoming you. You be the judge, but I am ready and already wearing my apron!

- It was a wonderful and private experience! We learned how to make different italien dishes that tasted wonderful! We are totally in love with the focaccia and tiramisu! We would love to come back someday! We really recomend this cooking class!
- We had a wonderful evening with Elisa! She welcomed us into her beautiful home overlooking the Mediterranean for our cooking adventure. We were a family of 7, aged 14 to 55 and she was so encouraging and positive throughout our cooking. Everyone was involved in the making the meal and we were provided with all the recipes. Elisa also shared her family’s homemade wine and limoncello with us! The meal was fantastic and we walked away with full bellies!!! Thank you to Elisa, her family and friends who all helped us have an amazing night!!
- Beautiful setting, fabulous food and the very best instructor. It could not have been better.
- A Day in Heaven: Cooking with Elisa in Zoagli Imagine standing high above the Ligurian Sea, with the sparkling view of Portofino stretching out before you. The sun is warm, the air smells like fresh herbs, and someone hands you a glass of local wine. This is how it begins at Elisa’s Cooking Class. Elisa welcomes you like an old friend—with a bright smile, gentle charm, and a twinkle of humor. Her kitchen is full of life, laughter, and the smells of real Italian food. Together, we made soft focaccia, fresh pesto with fragrant basil, handmade pasta, and the creamiest tiramisu. Every ingredient was local, fresh, and full of love. What makes it unforgettable isn’t just the food—it’s the feeling. We cooked, we laughed, we learned. Then we sat around a beautiful table, shared what we made, drank wine, sipped limoncello, and watched the light dance over the sea. It felt like a movie scene—only better, because it was real. If you visit the Italian Riviera, treat yourself to this rare experience. Elisa’s class is not just about cooking—it’s about joy, beauty, and living slowly. Book it. Taste it. Remember it forever.
- I can’t express what an incredible experience this was for my family during our vacation. We were warmly greeted by Elisa, Marcello and their sweet niece Veronica at the entrance of their beautiful home tucked on the mountainside overlooking the water. Elisa was so attentive, made sure we all got a chance to work on every part of the meal, took tons of pictures, explained everything, used the freshest ingredients from her garden including eggs from her chickens. The raviolis and tagliatelle were tricolored making for a beautiful finished product. While the food cooked we took a tour of her garden, met the chickens and took more stunning photos of the property. They prepared a special apertivo of meats, cheese, delicious focaccia and aperol spritz drinks. We then had the main course with wine and finished with tiramisu and limoncello - all out on her patio with a nice long set table. We offered to help clean multiple times and they would not let us. They took care of everything. This experience was truly a dream and something we will never forget. Elisa, Marcello and Veronica went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience and made us feel like family. They even offered to invite our taxi driver in for tiramisu when he showed up early. We laughed a ton and we highly recommend them for your class. We will definitely be coming back! We miss them already!
