5.00From the garden visit to sitting around the table at the end as a family enjoying the incredible meal we prepared, every moment was amazing. Salvatore and “mama” go above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience. It was engaging and educational. We had an ABSOLUTE blast and couldn’t have asked for a better day to end our time in Sorrento. The communication leading up the class is informative and timely. Andrea answered any and all questions and is very responsive via email. HIGHLY recommend taking a class!! You’ll make fresh, delicious food and a bunch of memories together!
Cooking class from New York!!

5.00We had a great time at this cooking class! The family garden is beautiful and it was so fun to see how they transform all of their homegrown food. Knowing it was their family garden made the whole experience feel authentic. The cooking class was lots of fun and we learned so much! Great hospitality and experience. This meal was one of our favorites from our whole trip! The class was a short drive from Sorrento but we loved getting to see the smaller more local town! I highly recommend this class!
Salvatore & Andrea were an absolute pleasure!

5.00My mother and I had an absolutely lovely cooking class today with a new cooking company, Cooking Mama. They are based in the little town of Piano di Sorrento, which was a 15 minute ride by train or taxi from Sorrento. You start with a tour of their garden, then walk a few minutes to their private kitchen right on the water. It is out of the way of tourists, and this young couple absolutely loves what they do. They were so hospitable, we had so much fun cooking, eating, drinking, and getting to know Andrea and Salvatore!! Highly recommend booking with them for an intimate and personal experience.
A wonderful cooking experience!

5.00Salvatore and his mother provided us with a unique and wonderful cooking experience in their professional kitchen. Before we began cooking we took a tour of their fabulous garden with all of the fresh ingredients we would be using to cook. We learned some great cooking techniques and then got to enjoy a tasty lunch of all that we made. I would highly recommend this wonderful experience!

5.00Absolutely fantastic. From the garden to the kitchen, even got to meet the garden pups. Very easy to follow instructions, learned some fine details you can't pick up in a cookbook, made new friends, and ate quite possibly the best meal I have eaten in all of Eataly. :) Highly recommend!
Great food, better hosts
