For me, cooking means sharing: I love cooking for others and creating moments of togetherness. Originally from Avellino and Neapolitan by adoption, I’ve learned to combine my family traditions with the energy and vibrancy of the city.Ragù, genovese, pastiera, pasta and potatoes, caprese, escarole pizza, tiramisù, clams (and much more — the list would be endless!) are never missing from my table!

- Thank you Rosa for your kindness and thoughtfulness towards my daughters and I. Thanks for setting up the cooking class and sharing wonderful recipes and laughs. Knowledge with Us!
- Rosa was terrific. The whole experience wonderful. All of my colleagues had a great time. Rosa made us feel welcomed and went out of her way to make the evening special. Highly recommend!
- A truly amazing and unforgettable afternoon. Rosa and Sean were lovely, so kind and so funny! They taught us so much and made great conversation. Very welcoming and patient with us. The best part of our trip !
- They prepared a delicious aperitivo for me, and I tried my hand at making pasta and tiramisu while enjoying the aperitivo along with some white wine. What I loved was that it wasn’t just about having fun—the two of them also gave me thorough, hands-on guidance on how to actually make everything. The pasta I made was tossed with their family’s secret tomato sauce, and it was truly outstanding. Eating it on the rooftop of the apartment made it even more special. The lemon pasta Rosa made was delicious too, and the tiramisu was fantastic. As someone visiting from Japan, getting to spend time in a local’s apartment was a valuable experience in itself, and the interior was so beautifully done that I couldn’t stop admiring it. On top of that, I was grateful they recommended some great restaurants in Naples. Thank you for such a wonderful time—next time, I’d love to explore the local markets too.
- A charming and very informative Italian cooking experience with Rosa. We prepared a four course meal, starting with the tiramisu, then making fresh pasta from scratch and pasta sauce using her mum’s homemade tomato sauce and herbs from the window garden. Rosa was a lovely and patient host and her partner had lots of local and regional knowledge and tips to share. I attended on my own and felt very welcome, but it would also be perfect for couples, even with kids, who would like making the pasta. Highly recommended.
