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.

- Emanuela and Moriza are superlative hosts. And Emanuela's cooking and teaching is excellent. A bonus for us was when Emanuela took us through Vicolo Pignasecca and told us many things about Easter eating traditions. It showed us a completely different side of Naples that was much less "touristic"!
- Highlight of the whole trip! Such a wonderful experience, and one we’ll never forget. We had such high hopes and expectations, and Emanuela exceeded them all. Such a wonderful host and her husband as well, fantastic food (that well do our best to recreate) and welcoming. I’ll recommend everyone on my way to try this!
- Emanuela was fantastic a great host and a great teacher. We had a wonderful experience.
- 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!
