Hi from Gisella!

Stresa is an elegant and charming town on Lake Maggiore, full of luxurious hotels, period buildings, and beautiful Art Nouveau villas. It’s very pleasant to take a walk along the lakeside promenade, among flower gardens and small restaurants. The small historic city center is very picturesque, with nineteenth-century buildings, terraces full of flowers — and my cozy home.You could say I was born in a hotel. I lived in one until I was 12 years old. In my family’s hotel, I would prepare a snack in the restaurant, eat in the dining room, and the staff would make me simple desserts.My passion for the culinary arts was nurtured in that environment — and now, I’m a Cesarina!

Gisella was amazing, walking us through 3 beautiful dishes and engaging everyone in our group. Her culinary talents are also matched with her photography and hospitality. This is an experience not to be missed.

Gisella was a wonderful teacher and patiently guided and helped us make a delicious meal. She did take quite a few photos which we have yet to receive but look so forward to getting. She was a delight!! We highly recommend this class as something fun to do. Plus eating the meal afterwards was a real treat. Delicious!
