Great small group experience - made three types of pasta and tiramisu from scratch. Lots of food which you then get to eat in a lovely restaurant setting. Would recommend!

Super professional staff, fun experience. They set everything up for you and walk you through Tirimisu first (individual serving size) then you make three types of pasta. You sit down, they cook for you and you enjoy bruschetta, red and white wines, and 3 different pastas and different sauces/preparations.

    We had an absolutely fantastic time at this workshop! Our family of five (including teens) joined a really fun and welcoming group, which made the experience even more enjoyable. From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel at home. They were knowledgeable, patient, and had a great sense of humor, which made learning both fun and relaxed. We got right into the action: mixing dough, rolling pasta, shaping it by hand, and of course, layering up a classic tiramisu. Everyone had something to do, and even our teens were fully engaged. The pasta turned out delicious (we still can't believe we made it ourselves!), and the tiramisu was absolutely yummy. It was also a great opportunity to learn a few cooking tips and Italian kitchen traditions that we can take back home with us. What made the experience even more memorable was the friendly, social atmosphere. We laughed, cooked, and shared stories with others in the group, by the end, it felt like we were dining with old friends. This workshop was a highlight of our trip to Naples, fun, tasty, and meaningful. Highly recommend it for families or anyone looking for an authentic, hands-on Italian cooking experience.

    My family and I really enjoyed learning how to make pasta and tiramisu. Make sure you go to the class hungry because there is plenty of pasta to eat afterwards. Everything was delicious!

    It was such a beautiful setting in the amazing Italian restaurant with the city of Naples as the back drop. Our instructor was so great and helpful. Would recommend this class to anyone.

    Highly recommend

    James_M, Sep 2025
    It was so much fun. I highly recommend this experience. They place was clean and very professional. What better way to have pasta in Italy. Our teacher Manuela was fun and very knowledgeable.

    Perfect pasta!

    Anita, Sep 2025
    It was great fun, and was well organised. Instruction was clear, and it was nice to sample fresh pasta at the end. The Tiramisu was delicious! The venue was lovely - bright and very Italian! It was good to get a copy of the recipes...will definitely try this at home!

    Highly Recommend!

    Manuela did an excellent job walking everyone through the pasta making process. Great value for the money.

    Wonderful class with a wonderful atmosphere and teacher

    Denise_T, Sep 2025
    Fantastic cooking class ! The young lady who taught our class was very nice and knowledgeable. The setting was very nice. Upstairs at a restaurant with very nice decor. We made a lot of pasta and some tiramisu. Everything was delicious. I would highly recommend!

    Pasta making by the Castle

    Teresa_M, Aug 2025
    It was a lot of fun. Much easier than I expected. My instructor was a very sweet young woman who is very skilled at her job. I'm not sure what I expected, but using only hands and a rolling pin surprised me. And it was very tasty! The chef prepared our fresh pasta and served it for lunch. Also included was one drink of choice. I ordered an Aperol Spritz and it was the best I've ever had! I enjoyed my beautiful luch by a window overlooking a castle!! So cool! The restaurant is very close to the cruise port and easiy to walk to. It is a quaint place with fun decor and amazing staff. It was closed during the classes ( pizza class happening downstairs while I was upstairs), but as soon as it opened it filled quickly with locals as well as tourists. Obviously a favorite, and the pizza looked amazing. I highly recommend this excursion!

    Worth doing

    Sarah_O, Aug 2025
    A fabulous experience and well worth it, great value for money. The young lady teaches us was wonderful and equally as patient. A delicious experience. Thank you.

    Had a great time learning...

    Elysia_U, Aug 2025
    Had a great time learning how to make pasta and tiramisu! The instructor did a great job of explaining the different steps, demonstrating, and helping out when needed. The class did feel slightly rushed, and I was expecting that we’d also be cooking the pasta ourselves. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn how to make homemade Italian food, and also appreciated that they provided us with recipes to take home.

    Our instructor Matilda...

    Nadia_L, Aug 2025
    Our instructor Matilda made pasta and tiramisu look easy and still taste great. With the use of simple ingredients we had a superb meal. The class was presented in a friendly and encouraging environment. I highly recommend this activity on your Neopalitan journey.

    A great experience to do...

    Narelle_D, Aug 2025
    A great activity to do with teens preparing your own meal in Italy. A fun cooking class for everyone with easy to follow instructions. A nice atmosphere with very friendly staff.

    Instructor Ruined the Experience

    Robyn_L, Aug 2025
    I stood directly across from the instructor and still couldn’t hear what she was saying. I was able to see what she was doing and that is the only reason I could follow along. From the very beginning she seemed annoyed with the group. She did not walk around and assist anyone (the pizza making class was going on simultaneously and that instructor was engaged and actively walking around and helping). The people at the end of the table had no idea what was going on. At one point she said “I’m the one with the microphone” yet didn’t use it. We were all talking because we had to pass down the instructions to the people next to us. She ruined the whole experience with her attitude. If we were experts at making pasta or tiramisu we would not have signed up for the class!! There are many other cooking classes offered in Naples and we will try another one on our next visit. Save your money and skip this class. I gave it 2 stars instead of only 1 because the gentleman in the restaurant downstairs was very friendly.

    What a wonderful class it ended up only being my daughter and I taking the class since the other group ended up canceling last minute so the instructor ended up giving us special attention. I can’t wait to go home and share what I have learned with my family and friends.

    The class was well-paced...

    Samantha_S, Jul 2025
    The class was well-paced and the instructions given were clear, and it was good that instructor went around to check / help others when needed. However, the table was very long and it was difficult to see what the instructor was demonstrating. There should also be a minimal age for this class as there were too many young children present, which was distracting (since most of them were just having fun), and the class was often held up when the instructor had to help them. Was also very, very disappointed that you do not get to eat the pasta that you make, as they cook everyone's together and distribute it randomly thereafter. We spent a lot of effort and were very detailed in making our own pasta, but the others not so much. So we ended up eating some really crappy pasta with too much dough that even the sauces could not cover up. Understand that as a working restaurant, cooking each person's pasta individually may be too much effort, but at least be upfront about this so that people aren't disappointed by what they're served. At least you ate the tiramisu that you made but that's a fairly simple dish to make on your own.

    Great fun time

    Stuart_H, Jul 2025
    Great experience. Matilde was incredible. Fun fun fun . Food is fabulous. Started and ended on time and you get to take the recipe home

    Very Poor

    Deirdre_R, Jul 2025
    We were so looking forward to this as a family and considering the cost we felt the lady who gave the class was very light with the ingredients and rushed her way through the class. We fell behind slightly as our daughter couldn’t keep up with her pace and she didn’t slow down to help her or anybody, she only wanted to tidy up and get out of there. The food therefore was only average and I most definitely would not recommend this to anyone. It was way too expensive for the assistant and service we received, dreadful experience

    So much fun and easy!

    Jamie_L, Jun 2025
    This was so much fun for my family including my teenage kids. They walked us through step by step. And we were able to enjoy our product at the end

    Skip

    Paul_T, Jun 2025
    Not impressed! I thought we’d get to make and eat our own pasta, but you actually don’t. Everyone’s in the class gets put in a big pot and mixed together, then served. We were very cautious and particular about making ours, but others in the class, not so much. There were kids in the class too young to cook and many other people that just didn’t care. That being said, the result was just eating a bunch of crappy pasta. I would’ve rather skip the lesson and just gone to lunch somewhere. You actually don’t make three different kind of pastas, you make one pasta and out of that you make a long pasta a ravioli, and the rest is just cut up scraps that they throw a bit of sauce on not even enough sauce to cover the noodle so it ended up just being a clump together mass of cooked dough. One of the sauces was a plum tomato sauce, which was decent at best and the other was like a green zucchini sauce, which and all the years of eating Italian food I have never had and it was not good. Spend your money elsewhere and take a YouTube cooking lesson.

    Great fun, great food, fun times.

    Wayne_W, Jun 2025
    Fun and engaging. Emmanuella did a great job and we met lots of fun Naples visitors. At the end we got to eat our pasta and tiramisu creations. Highly recommended.

    Pasta & Tiramisu Making and Eating

    Charles_Y, Jun 2025
    Very well organized. The instructor - Simona - was very friendly, knew how to manage a group of 20 'cooks', and explained the steps in detail. A great value when you get to eat what you make for a tasty meal.

    So-so

    MaryCatherine_S, Jun 2025
    our class was a total of 13-14 people. It was held upstairs in a restaurant with guests eating at the same time class was taking place. The instructor stood at the end of a long table and gave directions from there.it was hard to hear/follow her with the noise of diners in the background. Suggest the instructor stand in middle of table so people can hear directions clearly especially when there is background noise within the active restaurant.
