A Naples Essential Experience - Emanuela and Maurizio gave us a perfect ending to our 14 night Mediterranean cruise. It all started with a pickup at the cruise port taking us to a great tour of a Napoli market. Fresh ingredients for our class were purchased and we ascended high above Naples for a breathtaking location for our cooking class and dinner. Every aspect of this experience exceeded our expectations and proved to be one of the main highlights of our cruise. Emanuela and Maurizio went above and beyond in every aspect of hospitality and making us feel like famiglia. All 4 of us that booked this experience were totally impressed! Thank you Emanuela and Maurizio!

Amazing! - Emanuela and Maurizio were amazing hosts and made us feel like family. They picked us up from the port, took us shopping at an amazing market where we explored and learned about traditional Italian foods, gave us a brief tour of Naples, ending at Emanuela’s condo with an amazing view. We made two types of pasta, bruschetta and a desert, and enjoyed some wines and special post-dinner drinks. Entertaining, educational and a true peek behind the curtain of what life in Naples is all about. Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Naples Experience You’ll Never Forget! - If you’re visiting Naples and want a truly authentic, unforgettable experience, book this cooking class with Emanuela and Maurizio immediately. It was hands down one of the highlights of our entire trip.
From the moment we stepped off our cruise, Maurizio welcomed us with a warm smile and picked us up right at the port. Instead of just driving us straight to the class, he gave us a mini tour of the city, local stories, and stopping at beautiful scenic spots for photos. It felt like being shown around by an old friend rather than a tour guide.
We met Emanuela at the vibrant local market, where she walked us through the different foods unique to Naples. She explained everything with so much passion and knowledge. Together, we hand picked the fresh ingredients we’d later cook with produce, herbs, cheeses… all straight from the source. It made the experience feel so personal and authentic.
From there, we headed to their gorgeous home overlooking the city. The view alone is worth the trip, but what came next made the day truly unforgettable. In their kitchen, Emanuela taught us how to prepare fresh pasta, homemade ravioli, and classic tiramisu. Her patience, hospitality, and love for cooking made the lesson feel like we were cooking with family. Maurizio kept the energy fun and warm, sharing wine, stories, and laughter throughout the afternoon.
The meal we created together was absolutely delicious but honestly, the experience was even better. Cooking in the home of locals who treat you like family is something you simply can’t beat.
I cannot recommend this experience enough. If you want real Naples: real food, real people, and real memories, this is the one to choose. An absolute 10/10! 🍝🇮🇹✨

Best Ever! - What an amazing experience! I have always wanted to do a cooking class in a locals home and we could not have chosen a better host. Emanuela was magnificent! She has a beautiful home overlooking Naples and the Sea. She not only taught us how to make the most amazing pasta and Tiramisu, but shared with us her knowledge of the area. She even arranged for her boyfriend Maurizio and a friend to pick us up at the port, drive us around town a bit, and stop at some beautiful viewpoints for photos on the way to her home. Maurizio was also a gracious host and assistant to Emanuela. He served us wine and assisted Emanuela throughout the entire class. It was an honor to meet them, learn from them, and be welcomed into their home for the afternoon.

Way More than Just Cooking!!! - Honestly this experience was a highlight of our 14 day trip through Italy. Our Hosts Emanuela and Maurizio were the best. Graciously inviting us into their home ( that is gorgeous with stunning views) we had so much fun. I cook a lot at home but I learned so much and enjoyed every minute.,We made Tiramisu, Pumpkin Pasta, and Raviolis from scratch and had a blast. We met at the marketplace where we shopped for our food and got a tour and history of the area. It’s way more than a cooking class. Not to be missed!

Great time in Naples - We did not know what to expect but the whole event far exceeded my expectations. We started with a tour of the market in Naples where we bought some of the goods for our meal. We then went to Emanuela’s home where we were thought how to cook. She showed us how to make pasta con zucca which was my idea and RaviolisThe Raviolis were made from scratch. We made the dough and she showed us how to make the sauce and cook them. We also made tiramisu from scratch too. Her apartment was beautiful and in a great location in Naples. Has a great patio to eat outside with terrific views. Her friend Maurizio helped us navigate around Naples and the Amalfi coast. I would definitely do another cooking class with her again in the future

Highly recommended - Emanuela and Maurizio are very nice and welcoming. Their apartment is so cozy, and the view from the terrace is absolutely gorgeous. Under Emanuela's guidance, we prepared three local dishes: meatballs, Neapolitan-style broccoli, and fresh pasta. Everything was very delicious, and the recipes were simple enough, so the Neapolitan flavor is easy to recreate at home. Emanuela was very attentive to our allergies and suggested dishes that suited us, although it wasn't easy. We'd love to come back again, as it was like visiting beloved relatives. Highly recommended!

Authentic Neapolitan experience! - Emanuela was so welcoming and generous with the cooking class. She had everything prepared, guided us through the process, and shared the recipes after. This was such a memorable part of our trip and I highly recommend it for an authentic Neapolitan experience. She even arranged a driver (Maurizio) to get us to and from her home.
