You also have your pick of dishes and drinks to learn how to make, from local specialties like pizza and limoncello to homemade pasta, so choose the lesson with your ideal menu and price point.

Wear comfortable shoes and something with easy-to-roll sleeves, as you’ll likely be standing and working with flour for a lot of the class. Also, consider whether you’d prefer a shared or private class; group lessons allow you to mingle with other travelers, while you’ll get more attentive instruction from your host in a private lesson.

Sorrento cooking classes are a year-round activity, so you can book a lesson no matter when you’re visiting. Since many experiences occur outdoors at local farms and gardens, they’re especially lovely in the summer. Plus, you can take advantage of in-season produce, such as tomatoes, when making pizza and pasta.
