We learned how to make fettuccine, ravioli, and gnocchi from scratch! And we made tiramisu for dessert. Salvatore was a great teacher with his family homemade recipe and also the appetizers provided (made by his mom) were delicious.

Lovely family activity (2 teens and parents)

Sarah_B, Aug 2025

It was a lovely setting on the beach a bit outside of Sorrento (we went back next day as loved the setting). We made fresh pasta and tiramisu and we got to enjoy it after along with some dishes specially prepared for us. We had drinks and were well looked after and we purchased some products to take home. Recommend

Perfect activity in Italy!

Mary_K, Jun 2025

Incredible evening together as a family learning how to make noodles, sauce, and tiramasu. Highly recommend this cooking class, fresh ingredients, kind family, and delicious recipes. Thank you for opening your kitchen to my family of 6~

Good atmosphere when going to the right place

Erin_A, Jun 2025

Good class - showed up late because the message for a change of address was sent after we already left to get to the class so showed up to the wrong place. But once we got there it was a great meal and good company!

Best experience of our Sorrento Trip

Randi_B, Jun 2025

In just a few hours we learned how to make a delicious authentic Italian meal from scratch. We booked the morning garden tour with a walk down to his families converted fishing cave in the marina - which is now a fully functional teaching kitchen. There we cooked with fresh seasonal garden ingredients over glasses of prosecco. After learning how to make various pasta noodles, sauce with fresh garden ingredients and tiramisu, we were treated to a selection of beverages like sodas and red wine while we enjoyed our meal together! We made friends with the other families and couples on the experience and lost track of time, enjoying meeting new people over a shared meal. Thank you to the cooking mama family for your hospitality! We will be back!

Okay

Gisselle_V, Jun 2025

The person hosting was great. We did get to make our own pasta and tiramisu. But, everything else we just watched him cook.

Just do it!

This cooking class was so much fun! Salvatore and Andrea were so sweet and we loved hearing about their passion! We started with a tour of their garden. We then took a short walk to the kitchen, where learned so much and enjoyed our delicious meal and dessert at the end of the class. Salvatore and Andrea also prepared a couple dishes to enjoy. We truly had an amazing time and would highly recommend taking this class!

Sorrento cooking class

Angela_J, Sep 2024

Our evening started with a walk through the garden where produce is grown for the classes. We walked down to where the class is held. We learned how to make different types of pasta. We made tiramisu for dessert. We had some appetizers and wine or beer is offered. The class was a small group and the instructor made us feel comfortable. I would recommend the class to everyone.

An authentic highlight of our time in Sorrento

Ellen_B, Jun 2024

I attended this amazing cooking class experience with my boyfriend and another couple from home. We loved it so much! Both the other two couples were lots of fun we even went out for drinks afterwards. It was intimate and authentic! All dishes were great (limoncello, ravioli and tiramisu) to make we can’t wait to try them at home with our family and friends.

Cooking by the dock!

Eric_W, Jun 2024

We learned how to make a gnocchi from scratch and delicious tiramisu. Chef Salvatore is very skilled, knowledgeable and patient. Wonderful cooking experience of cooking by the water. Loved it! Highly recommend it.

Great food and instruction

Alexandra_B, May 2024

The instruction was great and owners were friendly. The apps were honestly the best we had the whole time in Italy! The cooking class is about a 15 minute taxi ride from the main downtown area. You will get dropped off at the garden and take about a 10 minute walk to the kitchen by the beach. Very nice.
