Real experiences from real travelers
The class with Mama was incredible. We picked tomatoes directly from her garden and made the best gnocchi I've ever tasted. Booking through this site was effortless.
I never knew the science behind a good pizza crust until now. The seaside villa location was breathtaking. Highly recommend the sunset class!
The chef was so funny and patient with our group. We made three types of pasta and a tiramisu. The wine pairings were generous too!
We took our two teenagers and they loved the hands-on nature of the class. It wasn't just watching; we were busy cooking the whole time.
I felt like I was welcomed into a real Italian home. The ingredients were so fresh and the Limoncello at the end was the perfect touch.
For the price, the amount of food and wine you get is amazing. The shuttle service from central Sorrento was very convenient.
I've tried making pasta at home before but failed. After this class, I feel like a pro. The tips on flour types were a game changer.
Everything from the historic setting to the fresh garden ingredients was perfect. A must-do for anyone visiting Sorrento.
