Hi from Simona!

We are a few miles from Portovenere, in a small medieval village, where Simona gives us a taste the delights of her region, such as focaccia, basil and Vermentino.Our Cesarina loves to cook for family and friends. She loves eating, because it makes her relive the excitement of a visited place, the company of a person, sharing a beautiful moment not to be forgotten. The motto you'll find in her kitchen is "the most delicious lunch is the one shared with you!"

: It was one of the best things we did on our two week trip to Italy. We had a great time with Simona. She explained everything we were preparing, we all got to help make the two pasta dishes and of course the delicious dessert! I would recommend her to anyone who wants a true Italian in-home cooking experience. She has great home and wonderful family!
: We had a very nice evening with Simona and Roberta, who were very welcoming hosts and who provided very relaxed and entertaining cooking class and dinner. Food was wonderful. They engaged our small children wonderfully during the class, which we really appreciated.
: Top notch! Great food and lovely hosts.
: We had a really nice cooking experience at Simona’s place. She explained everything really well and the food was delicious. She made us feel very welcome in her home. We would recommend this cooking class to others.
: My husband and I had the pleasure of learning how to make 2 different types of pasta and tiramisu. Simona and Roberto are excellent hosts and very much enjoy sharing their cooking talents and home with their guests. It was a wonderful experience for us to sit down to an Italian meal that we prepared and share life experiences and stories. The experience of learning how to make our own pasta is something we won't forget and we are looking forward to making it back in the US for our family and friends. We highly recommend taking Simona's cooking class!
