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 is 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 the cozy home of Gisella, our Cesarina. We could say that Gisella was 'born in a hotel.' She lived in one until she was 12 years old. In her family’s hotel, she would prepare a snack in the restaurant, eat in the dining room and was prepared simple desserts by the staff. Her passion for the culinary arts was nurtured in this environment, and now she’s 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.

Gisele was an amazing host, welcoming us into her beautiful home. She is an exceptional cook, and made the making of an exquisite meal look easy. Myself and my friends had an amazing time..

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!

My husband and I enjoyed our private Italian cooking class with Gisella. We appreciated her warm welcome and her culinary tips. We left her home delighted and motivated to cook delicious Italian dishes and, of course, desserts like tiramisu! We recommend this wonderful expérience!
