One of the best food experiences I've ever had - This was seriously one of the best food experiences I've ever had on my travels. The location in the garden of Anacapri is simply stunning but it was the hospitality of Holly, Gianluca, and Kelly that made this event so special. Not to mention watching this master chef create such beautiful and amazing dishes. I will definitely be going back to take one of their cooking classes!

10/10 experience, a must do in Capri! - We bought this excursion for our friends who were celebrating their honeymoon in Capri. The host were extremely friendly and easy to communicate with ahead of the excursion to ensure a smooth experience for our friends. Our friends raved about this experience and hope to return again in the future! It was one of the highlights of their trip and I am so glad we chose this option for them. Highly recommend this excursion!

Wow! This was so much... - Wow! This was so much more than we ever expected! The garden was lovely. The hosts were warm & welcoming and shared history and interesting information about their island, Capri. And the food pairing with wine was delightful. Chef had great attention to detail & worked to meticulously prepare beautiful & tasty food . The olive oil was wonderful. Rosemary was our favorite. We will never forget this incredible afternoon and cannot recommend it enough to others.
