My daughter and I had such a wonderful experience at this cooking class! It was so much more than just learning a few recipes—it felt like being welcomed into an Italian family's kitchen. We prepared several traditional Italian dishes using authentic family recipes that have been passed down through generations, and you could really taste the love and history behind every dish. The instructors were warm, patient, and passionate about sharing not only the techniques but also the stories behind the recipes. Everything was hands-on, well organized, and easy to follow. Sharing the meal we created together at the end was the perfect way to finish the experience. I left with new cooking skills, delicious recipes, and a much deeper appreciation for authentic Italian cuisine. I would absolutely recommend this class to anyone who loves food, wants to learn traditional Italian cooking, or is looking for a memorable experience. It was one of the highlights of my trip!
We had a blast doing the cooking experience! The chefs were very friendly and heartwarming. Each dish was very easy to make, and they guided us through every step of the way. The hospitality was impeccable! This was by far the highlight of our visit to Sorrento
We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It ended up being just my husband and me, which made the experience feel incredibly personal and special. Gennaro and Sarah were wonderful chefs who were patient, knowledgeable, and made the class both fun and engaging. They taught us how to prepare several delicious dishes while sharing helpful techniques and local culinary traditions along the way. We especially appreciated that they sent us the menu and recipes afterward so we can recreate everything at home. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and we left with full stomachs, great memories, and new cooking skills.
This was by far one of my favorite experiences of our Italy trip. Our chef was so knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. It was super fun getting to know her and the story behind this company. My husband and I had such a great time that I’ll cherish forever. Highly highly recommend!
Me and my wife had such an amazing time! We had so much food that was served that we could barely eat it all! It was all so delicious and we were able to make almost all of it! Our chefs were very helpful with teaching us how to cook it all and were helpful when it came to taking pictures of us during the experience. We also had a nice family cooking with us that was also doing the experience. Talking with them was fun and allowed there to be a nice family aspect to the cooking. Again, the food was so good and we couldn’t have been happier. A note to those coming after us, it is a lot of food, so make sure to eat light during the day so that you can eat more that night! I wish I had did that so I could have eaten more of the delicious food we made! Each of the courses was amazing and the chocolate cake at the end was perfect. We had such a great time and would recommend it it others as well.
Vacation for our anniversary in Sorrento. We absolutely loved the cooking class! It ended up just being the two of us. We learned so much and enjoyed an amazing meal! Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience. Chef Sarah was a gracious host. Her home and kitchen are lovely. Sarah was very interactive and made sure that we all participated. Her instructions were clear and it was fun even for those of us who don't have many skills in the kitchen. We made calzone, ravioli, meatballs, sauce, eggplant parm and a caprese cake. Everything was delicious. We learned a great deal, including some insider chef tips, and had a very enjoyable time. We highly recommend this class.
The class was held in a beautiful kitchen in a historic home in Sorrento. The hands on class size (10) was small and perfect. Two "Nonas" were lovely, friendly, adorable, and enjoyable. The lesson was thorough and entertaining. We got to interact with this group and even exchanged numbers. The menu was so tasty and we definitely learned great recipes. They even provided us with the recipes of what we cooked AND more!
This was a super fun activity. It ended up just being me and my wife. Everything we cooked was delicious and the hosts were super friendly. Would highly recommend
