Shared Experience
Your experience
Welcome appetizer
Escarole pizza
Ziti pasta with Neapolitan ragù
A product of the Irpinia culinary tradition, this "Cesarina" has been combining her experience with Neapolitan gastronomy for several years now. My guests will be able to taste typical local dishes prepared by themselves: escarole pizza and ragù! They will feel welcomed as if it were a Sunday with the family and will want to come back again!
All this will be accompanied by an appetizer of cold cuts and cheeses and good Campania wine.
This was so much fun ! The prepping and making pizza and other dishes . The couple was so helpful I learned more in this intimate adventure than doing anything else . Their knowledge and expertise was so uncommercial and far from touristy . Charming fun knowledgeable couple

We booked a private Neapolitan cooking class with Rosa and Sean on our honeymoon, and it was the highlight of our time in Naples. Both were wonderful teachers, patient, warm, and clearly passionate about their craft.
They went well beyond technique. Along with showing us how to cook, they explained the history behind each recipe and the significance of the ingredients, which made the meal mean far more than just following steps.
They also gave us excellent recommendations around Naples, which shaped the rest of our trip. We left full, happy, and with skills we'll actually use at home. Highly recommend to anyone who wants an authentic experience, not a tourist class.

I really enjoyed my experience. I had some personal requests and Rosa adapted the recipes to please me. With her husband, she went above and beyond what I had expected. I had a very good time learning the Napolitan recipes but also, through our discussions, I learned about Napolitan history, where to find different typical Napolitan food, etc. I recommend this class to people who want a true Neapolitan experience

For me, cooking means sharing: I love cooking for others and creating moments of togetherness. Originally from Avellino and Neapolitan by adoption, I’ve learned to combine my family traditions with the energy and vibrancy of the city. Ragù, genovese, pastiera, pasta and potatoes, caprese, escarole pizza, tiramisù, clams (and much more — the list would be endless!) are never missing from my table!
