Roberto

Roberto welcomes us to his home, in the hilly area of La Spezia, with an evocative view of the city and its gulf, known as the 'golfo dei poeti'.Roberto loves cooking more than anything else, making use of “forgotten” local produce and vegetables that he grows in his own vegetable garden. In spring and summer he welcomes guests in his large garden, where you can taste freshly picked garden produce or fresh fish from the market in La Spezia. "I started cooking when I was at university and since then I haven't stopped.It has become my lifelong passion."

This was the best activity my family enjoyed throughout our vacation. We not only learned how to make several delicious dishes, but we got to enjoy a lovely lunch with Roberto and his wife in their home. Such a unique and memorable experience, and we would recommend it to anyone visiting this area. My daughters (13 and 16) said this was the most fun they’ve had and they can’t wait to recreate the dishes at home!

Had a very enjoyable time with a wonderful couple. We participated in making a variety of Italian dishes and then sat down with them at their dining room table to enjoy what we made! One terrific adventure!
