Transforming the dish into a painting is an easy objective for those who love to cook and put their passion throughout the preparation.
To transform a dish into an impressionist painting, full of natural and never dull colors, you have to choose fresh ingredients and cook them in the most suitable way so that they do not lose their tones and nuances. Nature is the color palette and you will be the painters. The aubergine will be the purple, tomato the red, basil the green, the green and yellow of the courgettes and their flowers and all the spring colors of the pastiera. The plate will be the canvas: all you have to do is start painting!

- 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!
- 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!
- Emanuela and Maurizio are some of the kindest most welcoming people I've had the pleasure to meet. I signed up for a cooking class but left with an extremely fulfilling knowledge and understanding of Napoli and its culture. A must for everyone looking to experience Napoli in its most authentic form :)

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.
