Your experience
  • Sgabei with meats and cheeses
  • Tagliatelle with pesto

I will present the preparation of sgabei, a typical dish of Lunigiana cuisine, accompanied by cold meats and cheeses such as stracchino or gorgonzola, as well as seasonal vegetables.

As a first course, I will offer you a classic of Ligurian and Italian cuisine: homemade tagliatelle with pesto, and during the summer, if you wish, you can opt for tagliatelle or gnocchi with muscoli (mussels) sauce. To conclude, for dessert, you can enjoy almond crisp, a treat traditionally eaten for St. Joseph's Day, or a delicious tart with homemade jam.

Incredible food and host! I loved every minute.

I had a super special experience hosted by Daniela and her husband, in their home. She was extremely kind and welcoming, and made me feel right at home from the start. Learning recipes from her was so enjoyable. She's a natural teacher and a very open personality and I loved that I was also able to share my food and culture with her as well since it made the experience all the more interesting. I'll cherish our conversations and these memories forever! She was also kind enough to send me all the recipes, take pictures, and share her stories which really touched my heart. So grateful for all the delicious food and the hospitality! For me, this was my most wholesome day in La Spezia. Highly recommend :)

A truly amazing experience. Daniela is a fabulous cook and hostess. Her explanations of the cooking process were very clear and I can’t wait to try her recipes. She and Gianni were so personable and fun to share an afternoon with them. Great food, wine and conversation. A very special experience.

Cesarina from 2018Location: La Spezia    Languages: Italian and English
The city of La Spezia is located practically on the border between Liguria and Tuscany. It is the ideal starting point to visit the splendid Cinque Terre and other characteristic villages in the area, such as Lerici and Porto Venere. With the sea in front of the city and the mountains behind, it is fascinating to admire it from above from San Giorgio castle, and experience its unique flavor through its culinary offerings, which reflect a combination of land and sea, evolution and experimentation. Seated around Daniela's table, you’ll experience a procession of traditional recipes. Our Cesarina offers the classic cuisine of La Spezia, the result of the fusion of different traditions from the neighboring regions. Daniela's prepares her dishes using simple ingredients. However, once combined, they give life to both strong and delicate flavors at the same time, recipes like 'sgabei' – raised bread dough that is cut into strips, fried, stuffed with cheeses or locally cured cold cuts, 'muscoli' (mussels) in a variety of versions and, of course, an absolute must, 'pesto' (sauce made from basil).
