Cesarine: ラ・スペツィアの地元の家庭料理教室と食事

We had an unplanned day in Cinque Terre area, and booked our cooking class with Donata on very little notice. We had already taken a pesto making class, so chose the other option that she offered. Neither my husband or I are too fond of liver pates, so Donata quickly adjusted the menu for us and taught us how to make an exquisite Tuscan bruschetta. Upon arriving, we jumped right into making pasta dough and the spinach ricotta filling for the ravioli. Donata's recipes are based on simple pure flavors and are wonderful. We enjoyed our meal on her terrace overlooking the city of Manarola. Her house is outside of Manarola and required a taxi ride from the train station. We had a wonderful time at Donata's; she made us feel at home in her kitchen. Don't miss the opportunity to cook with her!

Our host Luca was fantastic! He was personable, educational and a great conversationalist. Best pesto we’ve ever enjoyed. Truly a memorable experience for our family of four! Highly recommend treating yourself to this experience.

Daniela and her husband have been fantastic to us. Really nice persons and we felt like part of the Italian culture. Food was really tasty. We learned how to do gnocchi with pesto. It is Expensive though.
