Meet Emanuela
Emanuela was born and raised in Naples, surrounded by the rich culinary traditions of her Neapolitan heritage. From an early age, she was fascinated by the art of cooking, often sneaking into her mother's kitchen with her brother to sample delicious dishes and observe the cooking process. This curiosity evolved into a lifelong love for creativity, which she nurtured as a mosaicist and now as a home cook. As a lover of art and food, Emanuela is dedicated to preserving and sharing the recipes and traditions of her family and the Neapolitan region. For her, each dish is more than just a meal—it's an opportunity to preserve her family recipes and traditions and share it with people from all over the world. Through her cooking classes in Naples, she invites guests from around the world into her home to experience the flavors and stories of her land.

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! 🍝🇮🇹✨- Nick November 17, 2025
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.- Tonya November 06, 2025
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!- Wayne November 01, 2025
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- Ted October 24, 2025
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!- Nate October 19, 2025
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.- Suga October 16, 2025
It’s the real thing. A real Italian, amazing home, a real Italian, amazing cook, and real Italian hospitality. We had an amazing time. I will defiantly go back. Great food and an unforgettable experience.- Lori October 15, 2025
This evening with Emanuela and Mauricio was the highlight of our family trip to Italy. They are a precious family and we will treasure our memories of cooking in Naples forever!- Jessica September 16, 2025
Emanuela and Maurizio were really nice hosts and the food was amazing. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this cooking class!- Valery September 13, 2025
We had a wonderful, well-organized evening. Before we even started cooking, Emanuela had already spoiled us with delicious homemade snacks and prosecco. Then she prepared three authentic dishes and enjoyed them with a glass of local wine and a view of Naples and Vesuvius. The location was a bit difficult to reach by public transport, but they ultimately resolved it by taking us to the Quattro Giornate metro station, which was very kind. A fantastic evening!- Neel August 04, 2025
This was definitely the highlight of our trip. Emanuela was fantastic—she’s like the Italian aunt you never had but always dreamed of. We started with a tour of the local market, where she introduced us to various local delicacies and shared fascinating insights. Then we drove to her home, which has stunning views and is both authentic and charming. We made pizza and pasta from scratch, and she constantly engaged my 11-year-old son throughout the experience. We also prepared tiramisu and she taught me how to make a sauce—hands down, the best sauce I’ve ever made. She even followed up by sending us all the recipes we made that day, which was incredibly thoughtful. This was, without question, the best experience we had in Italy. I highly recommend it to everyone!- Elane July 18, 2025
Manuela and Maurizio were kind and generous hosts. We had the most fantastic time cooking and chatting and eating and drinking with them. This experience is an absolute gem.- Tracy July 04, 2025
Our family had a fantastic evening learning to make pasta with, and enjoying the company of Emanuela. She is a talented and kind teacher, providing hands-on instruction throughout the 'class.' After we made the reservation, Emanuela contacted us to ensure we knew how to get to her home, offering several options for transportation. Once there, she was such a gracious hostess, making the entire family feel welcome, and a great conversationalist, able to talk comfortably with several different-aged English speakers. The meal was delicious, and enjoying it in her beautiful home and patio garden with stunning views of the city, of Vesuvius and the bay, made this evening the highlight of our trip to Naples. When the evening was done, she ensured our trip back to our hotel in Central Naples was efficient and comfortable, and followed-up by sending us the recipes for the pastas and tiramisu we made. This was a beautiful and memorable evening in Naples.- Stacy June 26, 2025
Emanuela and Maurizio were wonderful! They took us on a tour of the city highlights and market as well as stopped at great spots for pictures before going to their lovely home to make delicious pasta, pizza, & tiramisu. The view from their home was spectacular as well as the food! Highly recommend!- Daria June 21, 2025
Emanuela and her family were amazing hosts. Not only we did learn to make three kinds of pizza and tiramisu (and of course eat it), we also had some homemade wine and limoncello and got to enjoy the most beautiful view of Naples from their lovely patio. A native of Naples, she shared the city's rich history with us and pointed out all of the most important sights. We could not have asked for a better evening or better hosts.- Elizabeth May 14, 2025
Amazing atmosphere, familiar and cared for in every detail. Despite the rain we managed to have lunch outside on the terrace thanks to the immediate and excellent organization of Emanuela and Maurizio. A buffet full of excellent finger food, exceptional first courses, friendly and competent service.- Irene May 11, 2025
We celebrated my dear uncles from Naples, 70 years old The legendary Manuela and her collaborators made this event unique and wonderful Care in the presentation of the dishes, typical cold and hot appetizers. Parmigiana, mozzarella, fried food at the top Lasagna zucchini provola topppp Breathtaking view In short, we had lunch in 37 in this wonderful house with better service than a restaurant but the atmosphere of a friends' house. Splendid Manuela with your husband and your staff! We will definitely be back- Simona May 11, 2025
A fantastic and personal cooking experience in Emmanuela’s home! With a great view of the gulf of Naples we were treated to info on the history and food of surrounding areas. Everything was well thought out and it was such a great experience both cooking and dining. Delicious and fresh ingredients too! We can’t wait to try these recipes at home! Thank you so much Emmanuela and Maurizio :)- Jacky April 24, 2025
The best experience ever. Emanuela is absolutely amazing. She made everything look and be simple and easy for us to cook while having fun and feeling we re amongst friends. We will definitely return for new recipes and experiences- Oanapa April 20, 2025

There is a section in the booking form to note any allergies or dietary restrictions which will be sent directly to your host.
Some hosts offer alcohol as an optional add-on for travelers who are of legal drinking age. Pricing for alcohol is visible on the host profile page and includes one to two glasses of wine, beer or local alcohol.
Have a flight or other tour planned and can’t make the timing provided? If the timing listed on the host’s profile doesn’t work for you, our hosts can often accommodate timing changes. Because all of our experiences are private our hosts are happy to tailor experiences to meet your travel needs. Simply note your request in the booking process.
Your card will not be charged until your host accepts your booking. Typically hosts respond to bookings within 72 hours. In the event your host is unavailable on your selected date and your host rejects your booking your credit card will not be charged.
Your host's detailed contact information, including their phone number, address, and direction notes, will all be provided immediately upon successful confirmation of your experience (after your hosts accepts your booking and your credit card is successfully processed). This information will be emailed to you to the email address you used to sign up, and will also be visible on your Traveling Spoon profile.
All prices are noted per person prices unless otherwise specified. Transportation is typically charged on a per car basis. Children aged 5-11 are 50% off, and infants aged 0-4 are free. Hosts set their own prices and Traveling Spoon marks up the experiences; on average hosts receive over 70% of the price paid by the traveler.
100% of Traveling Spoon experiences are private! Just you and your host and host’s family.
Hosts typically respond to booking inquiries within 72 hours. If for some reason you have not heard from your host or if you have any questions you can always contact us at reservations@travelingspoon.com.
Your safety and security are our top priority. To ensure this, Traveling Spoon personally vets 100% of all hosts, including an in-person host visit, to ensure each host and experience meets our strict quality requirements.
Some hosts offer transportation as an optional add-on for travelers. Typically this is round trip transportation with pick up and drop off at your hotel. Pricing is quoted per car. Specific instructions for transportation will be provided in your confirmation details when your booking is confirmed.
Many of our hosts accommodate solo travelers. You can see if a host accepts solo travelers by looking at the traveler range found next to the experience descriptions on the host profile (indicated by the numbers in parentheses next to "In-home meal", "Cooking experience" and "Market visit").
Most of our Traveling Spoon experiences are incredibly family friendly and can accommodate infants and children. If a host is unable to accommodate children that will be noted in the “Notes” section of their profile. Our child pricing policy is children aged 5-11 are 50% off, and infants aged 0-4 are free.
