- Melanzane a pullastiello (Neapolitan-style stuffed fried eggplant)
- Spaghetti Frittata
- Local traditional dessert
Since I was little, I knew that good food would always be a part of my life, and today I want to take you into the book of my dearest memories. The scent and taste of round purple eggplants are unforgettable, and I still prepare them using my mom's recipe: stuffed with salami and smoked provola, breaded with flour and eggs, and fried. Here they are: the Melanzane alla Pullastiello!
Another classic Neapolitan dish is spaghetti frittata, a staple of our outings. This "leftover" recipe turns leftover pasta into a delicious, stuffed dish with ham and mozzarella!
To finish, the sweetest memory: layers of ricotta and cookies with chocolate chips!

- Great time, great food. The best thing we did while in Naples.
- 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 :)
- Emanuels was wonderful! She opened up to her home and taught us how to make a delicious meal. She was a gracious host and amazing instructor

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.
