What a great thing to do at the beginning of our 1 week stay in Naples. Not only did we learn to make (& eat) 3 types of pasta, a delicious Panzanella salad and a tasty Tiramisu, but we hugely enjoyed spending time with our lovely hosts Rosa and her friend and translator Dario. They were great company and shared a wealth of knowledge with us on great places to eat, pizzarias and restaurants and a snapshot of life in Naples.
Rosa supplied a tomato sauce made by her mother in Avellino in Guardia dei Lombardi, flour made at the same windmill that her grandmother used, and we pick delicious fresh hers from her rooftop. We would thoroughly recommend spending a few hours with Rosa and co.

**An Unforgettable 20th Wedding Anniversary Dinner with Rosa! ❤️🇮🇹*
We had an absolutely wonderful and unforgettable evening! We had the pleasure of celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary with a private dinner prepared by Rosa in her home, and it was truly an experience we will treasure for years to come. It was honestly the best dinner we had out of all of the restaurants in Rome and Naples.
From the moment we arrived, Rosa made us feel so welcome. Her warmth, hospitality, and genuine passion for cooking made the entire evening feel intimate, personal, and incredibly special.
The food was simply phenomenal! The eggplant Parmesan was delicious, and the different varieties of gnocchi, served with her homemade sauce, were absolutely divine. She was an excellent teacher - showing us how to bread the eggplant and made the different gnocchi while sharing family stories from her childhood.
What made the evening so extraordinary was not just the amazing food, but the heart and soul Rosa put into the entire experience. Being welcomed into her home and sharing such a beautiful meal made the celebration feel even more meaningful. After preparation, she welcomed us to her outside Terrance (which is beautiful) with wine, meat, cheese and bread.
**If you ever have the opportunity to experience Rosa’s cooking, do not hesitate!** She is a truly wonderful host and an incredible cook. We wholeheartedly recommend her and would love to experience another evening at her table.
Thank you, Rosa, for helping make our 20th anniversary so special. A beautiful evening, exceptional food, and memories we will cherish forever. **An easy five stars!** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best Afternoon Spent in Naples Food Tour
Centrally located near the Metro line. Naples City proper. 1.2 km if you walk from Garibaldi station. The host’s apartment is on 6th floor, no lift. Three landings between each floor. Our host’s apartment was very inviting and Rosa greeted us warmly. She spoke only Italian. Her partner Sean was also present; He spoke perfect English and is a gentleman and a Scholar. Both are Culinary Masters, not just of the cuisine but presenters of the Historically and Culturally important origins of people, legends, and food from farm to table which all were truly unique, inspiring and remarkable! Beverages upon arrival with snacks. A tour of the panoramic Rooftop dining area and discussion was next. Our first presentation was ingredients and demonstration to make our own individual Tiramisu. This first so the Tiramisu can set in the fridge until after dinner. Hard to resist! Several vintage wines were offered & described. Next all of the ingredients to prepare from scratch our homemade pasta was introduced; Gnocchi of several shapes and sizes made with our own hands. Set aside for later. A truly rewarding experience! Next a delicious fresh Roma tomato salad mixed with mozzarella, a special dried bread, and Calabria onions was prepared by our party and set aside for antipasto; No greens. Rosa and Sean presented her family history on harvest of 150 kg of tomatoes and the family tradition of cooking and bottling; A sample was shared! We adjoined to the Rooftop Dining Area. My wife and I found this amazing and romantic. Next a plate of delicious Homemade Spaghetti pizza, a meat tray of Soppressata di Gioi and Salami; with slices of Rustic Bread. Another wine was introduced. After this antipasto our Gnocchi with Suga was served. Al Dente’ ! Fresh Basil atop this delicious sauce really was extraordinary! More wine, soft drinks, espresso and our Tiramisu!

Home-made gnocchi!
Tremendous fun for two non-cooks. Going to someone's house/apartment really shows you people naturally.

Cooking with Anna
We had an absolutely amazing time with Anna during our cooking class in Naples! She explained everything so well and used the freshest ingredients. We made authentic dishes from scratch and learned so much about traditional Neapolitan cooking. Her home was beautiful, with a gorgeous view overlooking the city that made the experience even more special. Highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Naples and wanting a true local experience!

Highly recommended cesarine experience
The food and hospitality were amazing. Rosa’s kitties (Springbok and Pirate) were a delight. Only caveat-the experience is up 5-6 flights of stairs with no lift, so beware if you are mobility limited. Highly recommended!
