- Pullastiello aubergines
- Neapolitan spaghetti omelette
- Ricotta and chocolate semifreddo
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!

- This was our favorite experience in Naples. Emanuela took us through the fresh market area of the city, providing a fascinating history through the lens of food. We learned about dozens of different ingredients, where they come from, and which vendors have been there the longest. We stoped for a cone of street food, and sampled sausages and smoked mozzarella. I especially enjoyed learning about the different varieties of cheeses and tomatoes available. After picking up fresh baked bread, we travelled to her beautiful home and began cooking. We created a ricotta and biscuit cake (family recipe), cut tomatoes for bruschetta, and made fresh pasta for a tomato, caper and olive dish. From the family-made olive oil and wine to the beautiful view from her dining table, Emanuela made us feel at home. Her passion for true Neapolitan cuisine is infectious. We are involved in teaching others how to grow and cook their own food in America, and we are inspired by Emanuela. We highly recommend this experience!
- Ho regalato al mio ragazzo una cooking class a Napoli con Emanuela, ed è stata un’esperienza straordinaria, anche per me che sono del posto! Emanuela ci ha accolti con calore, condividendo non solo ricette autentiche, ma anche storie e tradizioni che hanno reso il tutto ancora più speciale. Un’esperienza unica, genuina ed immersiva, che consiglio a chiunque voglia vivere la vera cucina napoletana!
- Excellent experience! Emanuela was an incredible and welcoming host who made us feel at home during the whole experience! I highly recommend this experience!
- Emanuela e Maurizio sono due persone incredibile. La cucina era molto buona e abbiamo passato una buona serata. Grazie mille per tutto !
- Elisabetta e suo marito sono due persone fantastiche, ci hanno fatto sentire subito a casa accogliendoci nella casa con una vista su Napoli che non avevo mai visto. Esperienza ricca di cultura sia a livello di storia della città che storia di cibo con ricette della tradizione. Una più buona dell’altra dall’antipasto al dolce. Raccomando a tutti un’esperienza del genere perché riempie sempre il cuore trovare ancora persone del genere. Mi rimarrà per sempre impresso nel cuore e nei ricordi. Un bacio da Giada e Leo

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.
