Paola was wonderful. Very kind and welcoming. She made us feel comfortable. The pasta making was fun and the end result was absolutely delicious.

It was an awesome experience! What a lovely family experience with Paola, Massimo and Thomasso! Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Our Italian cooking class with Paulo (and her husband Massimo) was the high point of our entire visit to Italy. Paola was an amazing chef, and patiently worked with us to make fresh pasta (Tagliatele) and several other traditional dishes, which were absolutely delicious. She and her husband, Massimo, were kind, gracious, generous. welcoming hosts. After cooking, we loved just hanging out and spending time with them, and we learned so much about Italy, Italian culture, and lifestyle. Their english is very good, and certainly much better than my Italian. We were able to see how they lived life in a home setting. It was the most memorable part of our entire trip. Highly recommend!!!

Paola was an absolutely wonderful instructor and gracious host. She was so kind to open up her home to us for a few hours as we learned how to make delicious pasta and tiramisu. Their home is lovely and has a gorgeous view of the town, so that was the cherry on top! This was the highlight of our visit to Italy. We felt we had a very genuine experience that allowed us to truly feel connected to the culture. We are so grateful to have booked this class and 100% would recommend this to anyone seeking a unique, personalized activity to include in their family trips.

Paola
Cesarina from 2018Location: La Spezia    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.
