This was our absolute favorite thing we did all week! Chef Michele and Maddy were so inviting! The food was beyond delicious. We were given the option of limoncello or aperol spritzes when we arrived with “bruschetta “ bread in the pretty gardens. We learned a lot in the class and had opportunities for more drinks if we wanted. The Caprese, gnocchi and tiramisu were exceptional! They even gave us the recipes to take home! The class is housed in the unconventional hotel which is beautiful. I will definitely stay there on our next visit! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!!
Dear Traveler, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are over the moon to hear that our cooking class was your favorite activity of the entire week! Chef Michele and Maddy will be absolutely thrilled by your glowing words: they truly love welcoming guests into the gardens with a cold drink, fresh bruschetta, and great energy. It is fantastic to hear that you enjoyed learning the secrets behind the Caprese, gnocchi, and tiramisu (and that you have the recipes to recreate the magic back home!). Knowing that the beautiful setting at the Unconventional Hotel left such a lasting impression makes it even more special. Thank you for spending a wonderful afternoon cooking and sipping with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another stay and a meal on your next trip to Sorrento! Best regards, The IAMME IA! Gray Line Team
We had a wonderful time, met some great people and Magdalena & Chef Michele are top notch! Everyone needs to experience this at least once while you’re in Sorrento!
Dear Traveler, Thank you so much for this glowing review and recommendation! "Delicious, fun & a must-do", we couldn't agree more! Maddalena and Chef Michele will be absolutely thrilled to hear your kind words. They take so much pride in creating a warm, lively atmosphere where fantastic food and great company come together seamlessly. Thank you for making us a highlight of your time in Sorrento, and we hope you are already enjoying recreating those authentic Italian dishes back home! Best regards, The IAMME IA! Gray Line Team
Come hungry. Pace yourself eating. Tons of delicious food. Ask for a tin to take back to your hotel with the leftovers
Dear Traveler, Thank you so much for the wonderful review! "Delicious, fantastic, memorable": we couldn't have said it better ourselves! We are so glad you had a blast making (and eating!) pasta, tiramisu, and limoncello with us! Thank you for cooking with our team, and we hope you take those new culinary skills back home with you! Best regards, The IAMME IA! Gray Line Team
It was super fun. A little longer than we expected so be aware if you have other plans after that it’s almost 5 hours
We did the cooking class where we made homemade gnocchi, sauce, caprese salad & tiramisu. I honestly could not recommend this cooking class more! If I could give it 10 stars I would. It was well organized, super informative, FUN and the food we made was all delicious! They even allowed us to make small adjustments for taste preferences. For instance we made 3 versions of tiramisu…traditional coffee, lemon & orange! We had a lot of laughs and left with very full bellies. Maddalena & Chef Michele were the BEST. Grazie Mille!
Dear Traveler, Thank you so much for this absolutely incredible review! We are over the moon to hear that our cooking class was a highlight of your trip and that you left with lots of laughs and very full bellies! Maddalena and Chef Michele will be completely overjoyed by your kind words. They love sharing their culinary secrets, and they always want our kitchen to feel like home, which is why they are more than happy to tailor the experience to your tastes! Getting to make and compare three distinct versions of tiramisu (traditional coffee, refreshing lemon, and vibrant orange) sounds like a spectacular (and delicious!) twist to the day. Thank you so much for highly recommending our class, and we hope you bring a little taste of Italy into your own kitchen back home! Grazie mille to you as well! Best regards, The IAMME IA!

If you are looking for an authentic, hands-on culinary experience that feels less like a rigid class and more like a lively dinner party with old friends, look no further. Miguel and Magdalena are absolute superstars! From the second we arrived, the team made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. The drinks were flowing generously, we started with a tour of the vegetable garden and a delicious bruschetta and aperol spritz. After a few minutes we went to the cooking area where the energy became high, and we spent the entire time laughing. Miguel is a fantastic and fun teacher. He guided us through the art of making fresh pasta dough from scratch, rolling it out, and stuffing it with fresh mozzarella and parmesan to create the most incredible cheese ravioli. The accompanying tomato sauce—made with fresh, vibrant ingredients picked straight from their own garden—was magic. To top it all off, we learned the secrets to crafting a phenomenal, velvety tiramisu and got a masterclass in making homemade limoncello. It wasn’t just about learning recipes; it was about the phenomenal experience, the warmth of our hosts, and the memories made. Thank you, Miguel and Magdalena, for an amazing, delicious, and laughter-filled day. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough!

Cooking with Maddalena and Chef Michele was an experience we will treasure forever! We cooked together as a family and brought home the recipes to make over and over again. One month from our trip and we are making the sauce and raviolis to enjoy again. Such a personalized experience that they made so special for our family. The photos are of us recreating the dishes at home!

Chef Michele & Madda are wonderful! This former convent now boutique hotel offers the perfect setting for an amazing day. We weren’t expecting much and when you least expect it, you find a pearl in an oyster. Wow! The zen-like garden, relaxing limincello spritzer (best one all week), delicious bruschetta to making ravioli and tiramisu. Madda is a beautiful soul and taught us many things. Chef Michele is so much fun and simply delightful. If we were to pick one thing to do again, this would be it. Can’t say enough nice things. Awesome, relaxing day…the Italian lifestyle is belissimo! ❤️
