5.00We had an amazing experience with Penisola Experience during our time in Sorrento. This family-run cooking class was one of the highlights of our trip. Cristiano and his family made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived, creating a warm and authentic Italian atmosphere. We learned how to make traditional local dishes using family recipes while enjoying beautiful views, local wine, and plenty of laughs. It felt less like a class and more like being invited into an Italian family’s home for the evening. The food was delicious, the hospitality was exceptional, and the whole experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Sorrento!

5.00We had such an amazing time!! I went with my Italian boyfriend and he was reluctant to go at first but I managed to convince him and once we got picked up he understood why I brought him here. He had such a nice time and as an Italian he can confirm everything is very authentic and true to the recipe. I really enjoyed, it was very nice. Just keep in mind the kitchen is indoor not outdoor. And you have to wear a chef hat at all times hahah.

5.00What an amazing experience! We took a cooking class in Vico Equense with Cristiano penisola experience and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The setting alone was incredible, with breathtaking views overlooking the coastline, making the experience even more special. The instructors were welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the class fun and easy to follow. We learned how to make authentic tiramisu, which was absolutely delicious, and the eggplant dish was outstanding—easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and truly showcased the local cuisine. If you’re visiting the Amalfi Coast or staying in Vico Equense, I highly recommend this cooking class. Great food, beautiful views, wonderful people, and memories that will last a lifetime!
