A must-do in La Spezia! Incredible! - Daniella treated us like FAMILY… the Italian way. She provided wonderful gnocchi & tiramisu lessons, then treated us to a huge antipasto that she prepared in advance. The wine was complimentary and she made fresh focaccia bread. She did not rush us and chatted between courses… sharing stories, recipes, and traditions. We were teary-eyed at some points due to her loving hospitality. Thank you Daniella (and Giavanni) for an absolutely unforgettable experience in your lovely home.

Great experience! - My family and I spent a week in various parts of Italy, and Daniela’s cooking class was definitely one of our favorite activities. She has a great personality; we learned a lot; and she worked very hard serving us a sit-down meal following our cooking. We loved the privilege of being in her home, and it was a joy to to spend an evening with her!

A Must Do Experience - We booked this experience while in port on a cruise. This experience was the highlight of my trip. Daniela Ganapini was our Cesarine. She was AWESOME so welcoming and kind. We had a group of 6 people, all from different places but we all left friends, exchanging contact info. We ended up staying 2 hours past the end time just enjoying Daniela's veranda and wine and conversation.

100% THE BEST CLASS! - My husband Tom and I had a wonderful class with Donata, Claudio and Lana! Rolling dough, cutting the dough, making individual Tiramisu's was so much fun and they are wonderful hosts! Choose this class when you are in La Spezia!

From port to pasta to amazing tiramisu — perfection in every bite! - From my very first text to Roberto asking about directions and taxi fare, he and Monica were so friendly and welcoming. The short ride from the port ended with Roberto greeting us warmly and introducing us to his lovely wife. We dove right into cooking — starting with an out-of-this-world tiramisu I can’t wait to make at home. Then came fresh pasta (a first for me), frittata and pesto with veggies from their garden, and the most delicious tomato bruschetta. We laughed, enjoyed crisp summer white wine, and felt completely at home. Roberto and Monica’s hospitality was unmatched — they even drove us back to the port. We left with full stomachs, happy hearts, and recipes to share with our family for years to come
