“We absolutely loved our experience! Visited for our son’s birthday! Our host was the absolute best’ highly recommended!!”
Amalfi Coast pasta, mozzarella and tiramisu class in a hillside farm near Positano. Hands-on cooking, farm wine, small group.
“Confusing experience. Really wonderful people in the class, but the class itself doesn’t teach a lot. The recipes are “on Instagram” for if you want to use them later. Each person doesn’t get to do much in terms of making the food. It’s a long bus ride to get to the place from most locations and the bus does not operate frequently, so we ended up leaving the class and having to wait two hours for the bus. In most cooking classes, I walk away feeling like I could make the item myself. That was not the case here, but I did feel like I had a fun homemade meal…”

Hands-on Amalfi Coast farm cooking class in Pianillo. Make mozzarella, tagliatelle, and tiramisù with local wine and views.
“Fabulous. Wonderful. Excellent. We were met in the alley by, Michael, Fernando’s assistant. It was something out of the children’s movie, Ratatouille as he was driving his moped he stopped us and said, “you here for cooking class, follow me” as he sped away. The class was great, the gentlemen were both entertaining and educating. It is hands on as everyone has a part in making what became lunch. The food was delicious and they kept the wine flowing. They really involved our kids ages 12 and 15. Excellent views from the little farm looking over the hillsides and even a glimpse of the Mediterranean Sea. An excellent day!Read more”
Private Naples cooking class with Savio. Make fettuccine, ravioli, San Marzano tomato sauce, and pizza, then eat with local wine.
“Our experience in Savio's kitchen was absolutely wonderful. He is very charismatic and an amazing host. We wished we had done this experience in the first day or our stay because he recommended us lots of other activities that are not easy to find by yourself (hidden gems of Napoli and surroundings). The pizza and pasta we cooked turned up to be delicious and we had so much fun cooking them.”

Antonio was entertaining and we had a great hands on cooking experience that ended with eating the wonderful meal we made.”
Learn fresh Neapolitan pasta at Giuseppe and Anna’s Naples home, with wine, hands-on dough lessons, and a terrace dinner in about 3 hours.
“WOW. What a night!!! Anna and Giuseppe were amazing hosts. They invite you into their own home and kitchen with open arms and have so much knowledge about Napolitan food, history and culture. The cooking experience was a BLAST and the food was amazing!!! They even send you the recipes to re create when you’re home after. But truly, the best part of the experience was the two of them. Their kids were in the other room watching soccer (forza Napoli!!) and you leave their home feeling like a part of their family. If we ever come back to Naples, they’ll be our first stop. 💗”
