- Paola was wonderful. Very kind and welcoming. She made us feel comfortable. The pasta making was fun and the end result was absolutely delicious.
- 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.
- Thank you Paola for a wonderful time! We enjoyed making pasta and tiramisu. It was so delicious and fun! Thank you for sharing your homemade sauce and drinks! Your hospitality and warm personality made for a wonderful day. I would love to have the recipes we used if you could email them to me. Many thanks and blessings to you and your family!

- A highlight of our trip to Italy. We already purchased the tool to edge our ravioli because we feel ready to make it at home. You also learn to make Tagliatelle, Tiramisu, and the freshest pesto you will ever taste. Local wine , limoncello…it was all perfect. Paola is a perfect host and patient teacher. Such a great experience visiting their home. Definitely schedule this activity. Learning how to make so many things with an expert Italian chef is truly awesome. She also make sure to adjust the tiramisu for our gluten free son and made corn pasta so he could try the pesto. Perfect morning!

Where
Paola
Cesarina from 2018Location: La Spezia Languages: Italian, English, FrenchSan 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.
