Hi from Tessa!
I have a deep love for cooking, especially dishes based on seafood. Mussels are one of my specialties, which I prepare in many delicious ways—from sautéed to flavorful seafood pastas.I also enjoy making homemade gnocchi, soft and wholesome, just like tradition calls for.And to end on a sweet note, my signature desserts are tiramisu—creamy and indulgent—and the classic Neapolitan pastiera, which I make following an authentic family recipe.For me, cooking is a gesture of love and sharing, a way to bring a little happiness to the table.

- My mom and I had the most amazing time taking a cooking class with Tessa in Venice. We couldn’t believe it, but she told us it was her very first time hosting, and you would never have guessed—it was seamless, warm, and absolutely unforgettable. What made it even more special was that her 80-year-old mother co-hosted the class with her, sharing not just recipes but also stories, laughter, and generations of Italian culinary tradition. From the moment we stepped into their charming home, we felt like part of the family. The atmosphere was welcoming and authentic, and their love for cooking (and for sharing it with others) was contagious. We learned how to make two types of fresh pasta from scratch and a delicious tiramisu—both of which turned out incredible thanks to their expert guidance and encouragement. This experience was the highlight of our trip. Tessa and her mother’s hospitality, patience, and warmth made it so much more than just a cooking class—it was a heartfelt cultural exchange we’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering a Cesarine class in Venice, this is the one. Thank you so much Tessa and your mother, for such a magical and memorable day!
