Hi from 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.

- 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!
- Our cooking experience with Manuela was one of the highlights of our time in Naples! We learned a bit of the history of the area and about the ingredients we were using. Every member of our party had a work station and was able to participate in every aspect of preparation. Emanuela's home was lovely, with a stunning view of the bay area. The food we created was wonderful and I am excited to put our new skills to use at home. Our evening with Emanuela and her husband felt like visiting a favorite Aunt and learning a family recipe 😊
- 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 :)
