    It was a great experience! We learned how to cook several items not just those promised. Daniela was lovely! She explained and shared recipes with me that I was interested in. She made it fun and I would highly recommend this for others interested in learning how to make some Italian dishes.

    Delicious food with a warm and loving host!

    This tour could’ve have been more perfect. Gianni and Daniela were charming, warm, and knowledgeable hosts. It truly felt like cooking with my grandma! The food was excellent and taught in a way that I can attempt to replicate when I get home!
    Wonderful learning experience

    Unforgettable Italian Cultural experience with the sweetest hosts
    Yike_H, Sep 2024
    Daniela and Jonny were so kind and welcoming to us. We had the most precious and unforgettable time with them. Through meals, conversations and time together, we learned about the italian culture as well as the hosts themselves, their stories. They were so humble, generous and down to earth. My husband and I enjoyed every minute of it. They even invited us back the next day for lunch because our plan has gotten cancelled due to rain. We are so grateful that we met the hosts on this trip. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to cook authentic italian food and experience the local culture.
    great small group meal prep and lunch

    Doing all the steps to make the whole meal and then sitting down to eat it with the hosts! Everything from appetizers to dessert!
    Perfect La Spezia Cruise Shore Excursion
    Clif_S, Aug 2024
    Finding Anna’s place was a little tricky because the address isn’t displayed on the street, and the address she gives you is her next door neighbor. We just texted her when we arrived and she came down the hill to get us. Once at the house it was like you were sitting down with family you hadn’t seen in a long time. Anna was the perfect hostess. We chit-chatted a bit, enjoyed some cheese and Prosecco, then started the pasta making. We made spinach and ricotta ravioli, tagliatelle, and then tiramisu. After lunch Anna’s grandmother-in-law joined us, and we toured the property a little bit. What an amazing, wonderful pure Italian experience! This was the highlight of our 7-day cruise.

    We had a wonderful time doing the cooking class at Daniela’s house. Upon arriving she welcomed us into her home and truly immersed us in the culture. She made delicious appetizers for us and served us wine. She went into detail explaining everything she served us, the process of preparing it, and what ingredients are needed. Additionally, when making the pasta and tiramisu she let us get hands on with kneading the dough, rolling it out, cutting and shaping it. We then got try all the delicious dishes and she brought out even more food and wine for us to have. You could tell her passion for cooking and her love for teaching others how to make her recipes. At the end of the experience she brought out some fresh peaches and marscopone cream for us to have and some of her homemade liquors. It was nice having a small group cooking class in someone’s house, it made the experience feel more authentic. We loved getting to hear her stories and learn about everyone else in the class. Upon leaving she sent us with the recipes for all the things we made which was extremely kind of her. I would highly recommend booking a class with Daniella, you won’t regret it.
    Most Amazing Dinner
    Molly_K, Jun 2024
    We had the best time ever with Daniella and learned how to make tagliatelle with pesto, tiramisu, and a red meat sauce. It felt like we were cooking with family!
    Nice cooking moment shared with Daniela
    Loc_H, Nov 2023
    Great time shared with Daniela and her husband. We learned many things (especially about gnocchis) and ate very tasty and good food. Some receipes are easy to prepare and so delicious (sgabei for example).
    Best experience ever!
    jenny, Sep 2023
    I don’t even have words to express how wonderful this experience was for our small group of 4. Roberta and Ricardo not only opened their beautiful home to us, but they made us feel like family too! The food was beyond amazing. In fact, no other Italian food we ever eat will be as good! This was a once in a lifetime experience we will NEVER forget.
    Book this, you won’t regret it!!
    Rachel_R, Sep 2023
    We loved our experience and highly recommend to everyone. We enjoyed the following: fresh focaccia with the most delicious cheese, meats, egg plant and tomatoes, made fresh pasta and had it with both pesto and tomato sauce, enjoyed tiramisu which was absolutely incredible! We enjoyed the company and I was also celebrating a birthday and she gathered a candle and birthday hat to sing “Happy Birthday” it truly was as one of the highlights of our vacation.
    A lovely family cooking adventure

    Daniele hosts from her heart ♥️ She is a real Italian mother..(: The food was simple and great We didn’t learn new things, but we enjoyed the process of creating it with her and her authentic recipes
    Very disappointed
    Nadine_K, Jul 2023
    We did not do this class! Unfortunately I did not receive the address either via email or WhatsApp; the phone number provided for the cesarine did not work for me either so when I tried to call or text via WhatsApp it never went through
    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Nice evening with great hosts
    Gudrun_R, Jul 2023
    The host were really nice and the other guests as well. The one pasta course and Tiramisu was great to learn how to cook. So in general a good experience but far from what we expected.
    Italy and Daniela!

    Loved Daniela and her recipes! Unique experience by joining Daniels at her home. Hands on lessons while learning and tasting. Thank you for such a wonderful experience
    Our favorite cruise port!
    Carol_N, Jun 2023
    We arrived to Daniella's home and we were immediately served a delicious snack to keep us satisfied until our meal was prepared. Our menu for the day was potatoe gnocchi with homemade pesto sauce and marinara sauce. It was served with homemade foccacia and locally sourced wine. Dessert was an almond, lemon cake, made by us and coffee. We shared the meal with her family, Giovanni and Mario. We had so much fun!
    Highly recommend

    Really amazing experience! A lot of fun. Our hosts were very welcoming and the food was amazing. The process was super simple. We would recommend to all.
    Delicious day in La Spezia!
    Alyssa_L, Feb 2023
    Daniela was a fantastic host! She was so welcoming and taught us how to make amazing gnocchi. The tiramisu was delicious too and we cannot wait to recreate our meal with her at home. We highly recommend Daniela as a host to everyone!
    Do this, you won’t be sorry!

    What a wonderful day and experience. Robbie was lovely. The food was amazing. So happy we did this. Memories!
    Best of the best!
    Laura_F, Aug 2022
    Paola in La Spezia was fantastic. Her experience was incredibly educational for me. I have a pasta press at home but never knew how to make my own and I learn everything hands on. Tiramisu was delicious. Paola and her family were such wonderful hosts. I can't thank them enough for making my day SO enjoyable.
