This will be one of the best memories of our trip to Italy! We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel and taken to a beautiful restaurant overlooking the Sorrento bay. The entire experience felt relaxed, fun, and authentic. We made multiple dishes that were delicious and that I feel I can go home and make confidently after the class! It was our wedding anniversary and Claudio made it a very special class for us.

Best authentic experience

wonderful experience on our family vacation

Ivan_O, Jul 2025

We had the most wonderful time on our cooking class. We were picked up in downtown sorrento and the van took us to a restaurant with stunning views of the coastline. Mina was our instructor along with Daniela and we prepared 4 Neapolitan dishes. The instructions were simple and the kitchen layout for the class was perfect. Our teen daughter loves to cook therefore enjoyment was to be anticipated but our son has never cooked and he had the most wonderful time kneading the gnocchis as well as kneading and stuffing the raviolis.

Sunset cooking class

Tracy_M, May 2025

What an awesome experience. We were picked up and brought to the restaurant for the cooking class. It started with a glass of Prosecco and stunning views of the water. Mina was our instructor along with Daniella and made the experience so informative and fun. It was one of our favorite things we did in Sorrento. We made pizza, gnocchi, ravioli, and tiramisu. It ended with homemade limoncello. The sunset, atmosphere and friendly staff, made it a great time.

Cooking Class

We had the most incredible experience with our cooking class! It was the off season, in February, so we were very lucky and our class was a private one with just myself and my partner. Our teacher was wonderful! She was engaging and fun and the food we made was delicious! Highly recommended!

Such a fun experience!

Max_M, Oct 2024

We have considered this to be the best part of our trip to Italy. Mina and her team were amazing. Such a fun experience! For those of you driving, there is a parking garage directly across the street from the meet up hotel.

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed the cooking school. Picked up on time and driven to a stunning location up in the hills looking over Sorrento . The two teachers were excellent and the support team ensured everything ran smoothly . We were served Prosecco on arrival & Wine of choice when eating the delicious food we made. All in all a great value for money experience . We would all go back

Loved our experience at the cooking school and had a great meal. The owner taught us and she was lovely and very knowledgeable. The pizza chef was great too and we had lots of fun.

Perfect day

Sascha_N, Sep 2024

Mira and Claudio were absolutely wonderful in teaching us how to cook. The food is amazing, the view is stunning and it’s all an 8 minute car ride away. The lemoncello is also amazing and I highly recommend purchasing a bottle. I can’t wait to teach my kids how to make pasta and pizza from scratch. Such a fabulous day. Make sure you go on an empty stomach.

Perfectly Delicious Cooking Class

Ian_D, May 2024

Fabulous day, great food and great company. We really enjoyed our time, such simple food cooked to perfection with superb local ingredients- definitely a five star experience.

A totally fantastic experience!

Teri_B, May 2024

This was my 11th trip to Italy and I try to take at least one class each time I come. I think this was my favorite experience of all. The food was good but what made this really memorable were the people. Mina was so lovely and warm with a great teaching style. She was really earnest in her desire for me to learn how to cook these dishes. Claudio, the pizza chef was so sweet and funny. He was so delighted to show off his new pizza oven! I also got to spend some time with the owner, Frank. He was so welcoming and had great stories about his family and how his business has evolved. He taught me how to make lemoncello and his was delicious! From the time Max (also so kind) picked me up until he dropped me off I was smiling and felt like I had made some new friends. Don’t miss this experience when you are in Sorrento.
