Our cooking class at Quanto Basta in Sorrento was one of the highlights of our trip. Chef Tony was so fun to work with and made sure that we understood the steps along the way so we can replicate the recipe at home. Plus the food was absolutely delicious! Definitely something we would recommend to friends or anyone traveling into Sorrento for a fun night out!

We loved the chefs, Tony and Tony 2 ! They were amazing, took great pictures of us ! Gave us a lot of laughs ! We learned a lot tonight ! Highly recommended

Chef Tony and the whole cooking class experience was wonderful! Tony was warm, wecloming, insightful, patient, and - unexpectedly - funny! The location is warm and well-adorned and just the right ambiance for both learning some great cooking secrets and enjoying a fun night with friends - existing ones or the one you meet there. I have done an Italian cooking class before (Chianti), which was good, but this experience was great. It was a tremendous way to round up a fantastic vacation to Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast!

Tony was an excellent teacher! Everything we made was great but my favorite was the fresh fish, pasta and tiramisu. Nico kept everything moving in the background while we cooked, drank delicious wine and ate. The kitchen space was private and comfortable. Amazing experience for my family which included my husband, mother-in-law, cousin and I. I would highly recommend this cooking class!

Chef Tony was the best !!! He is such a warm and genuine guy and makes you feel right at home. It was like cooking in his kitchen in his home. We made gnocchi, meatballs with sauce and tiramisu for desert. If you are in Sorrento and want a true Sorrento cooking experience this is your place with Chef Tony !!!! ❤️

We totally enjoy this class, chef and the other people that joined in and had the best time!
Great learning how to make all the food and so good that it was only four people in the class so that we could be very hands-on. We enjoyed all the company and the food at the end and would recommend this to anyone.

Tony was great, very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Food tasted good and we can repeat at home.

Tony and his team were absolutely incredible. We learned so much and had so much fun whilst enjoying some of the best food and wine we had the whole trip. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
LAUREN_F, Aug 2024
This was the perfect, intimate cooking experience. The chefs were professional, the kitchen and dining table quite beautiful and clean. The chefs truly personalized the experience and we made a delicious meal. There was plenty of Prosecco, homemade wine, limoncello and food. The gnocchi was outstanding but the eggplant parm and tiramisu was even better. If you are looking for an intimate, small group cooking class offering ‘quanto Basta ’ this is it!
Francesca_S, Jul 2024

We had a great night with Chef Tony and the small group with us. We made tiramisu, pasta, and meatballs. The food and wine was great and the experience was so much fun!
Mary_P, Jul 2024
This is a must do activity while in Sorrento. Chef Tony was friendly and engaging. We were sharing our time with a couple and their school age child and Chef Tony was incredible at engaging each of us in the presentation of the food.
Roz_S, Jun 2024
Had a great evening learning how to cook gnocchi and meatballs as well as preparing tiramisu. There were 10 of us and we were all included in different stages. There was wine and cheese and different meats to sample which was a nice touch and the food was delicious. We will definitely be recreating these dishes back in the Uk.
Stephanie_C, Jun 2024

Justin_B, Jun 2024
Had a great time with the family, Tony was a lot of fun. Most importantly, our teenage daughters also had a great time. Would recommend.
JERRY_B, Jun 2024
The class itself was great, but there were only supposed to be 4 in the class and there was a party of 9 with two children under 5
Years old making a total of 11 in our group. The children were a distraction and the number of people made it difficult to get the hands on cooking instruction that I was expecting.
laura_h, Jun 2024
We highly recommend this cooking class with Chef Tony. He was a great teacher and hilarious. Angelissa was lovely and so kind and patient with us. Lots of laughs and we learned a lot! Our lunch was delicious and the dessert could not have been better. I thought I didn’t like tiramisu. Turns out, I just wasn’t having any that was made correctly. Here, you learn the right way and now it’s one of my favorite desserts - and bonus- I know how to make it myself now, thanks to Chef Tony! 👌🏻❤️❤️❤️
Jenny_S, Jun 2024
