Emanuela
Nestled 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.

- Emanuela and Maurizio were extraordinary hosts from the very beginning. Their home is one of a kind: a terrace with a sea view where they welcomed us with a homemade aperitivo, sharing interesting facts about the city and Neapolitan cuisine with contagious passion. Then the lesson began: we prepared calzoni and montanarine under the expert guidance of Emanuela, fried and eaten immediately – a huge satisfaction! To finish, she had prepared a red berry tiramisu that was simply incredible. The warm welcome and the feeling of truly being at home made our friend Emma's bachelorette party something special and unforgettable. There were ten of us and the space was more than sufficient, both inside and out. I recommend it to anyone who wants to combine a fun and curious culinary experience with the opportunity to meet real Neapolitans, passionate and full of stories to tell! Thank you Emanuela, I’m sure we’ll soon have a good opportunity to return and try new recipes with you!
- Bravo to Emanuela and her fun and fulfilling day of Italian cooking in her wonderful, and inviting home. Her warmth and kind hospitality added to the experience. She patiently led us through the simple and delicious recipes and with that - we wined and dined in spectacular fashion with a killer view of Naples from her outdoor terrace. It was a memorable meal and provided a tasty introduction to Naples.
- Emanuela was amazing. It was an unforgettable experience—beautiful home, spectacular views over Naples, and such warm and welcoming hosts. The class was both fun and informative, and we left not only having prepared and eaten delicious ravioli, mozzarella in carrozza, and tiramisu, but also with a deeper appreciation for the city
- This was an all around fantastic evening, Emmanuella was a wonderful host and teacher! The food was delicious and looking forward to trying it on my own!
- Emanuela and Maurizio welcomed us into their beautiful home and Emanuela started by explaining the history of Naples, which my mother and I absolutely loved since we are history buffs. The cooking class was fun and we stayed busy between learning the recipes, making the food, asking questions and seeing Emanuela's way of doing. It was wonderful to learn more about the history of the recipes we were making and seeing how proud Emanuela is to share her culinary knowledge and cherished memories related to cooking with her grandmother. We unfortunately could not stay to have dinner, but Maurizio was kind enough to drop us off at where we had parked our car. This is a great class for anyone who wants to do an activity or learn but it feels so much more valuable when you are someone who loves to cook in general! I was so into the class I completely forgot to take photos, thankfully Maurizio did!
