Heaven in the Amalfi Hills - My wife and I attended the cooking class in April 2024 and cannot say enough great things about Emily and her family! The group size is limited (we had 7) and they made us feel right at home—like Sunday supper with family! Very authentic. We were looking for a laid back, hands on, small class and this experience checked every box. Emily was an exceptional hostess, with her mother and brother chipping in. Their family kitchen is beautiful and the serene view only added to the experience. We had a hands on experience making tiramisu, gnocchi, and meatballs (coupled with Prosecco and wine and lemoncello), then dined on their beautiful patio. They provided an assortment of local vegetables and cheeses (including their family EVOO), making for the perfect anti-pasta plate! Though it is a short bus ride outside of Positano, from initial communications and confirmations, help with travel arrangements, meeting us at the square, walking us to their home and then back again, the trip could not have been more manageable. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for an authentic experience!

Best cooking experience, even better people. - Emily and all of her family were wonderful hosts and instructors. From start to finish, we enjoyed every moment. Tiramisu, gnocchi, meatballs… all handmade by us using Emily’s grandmas recipes passed down for generations. Using all fresh and local ingredients. With one key message… good ingredients do exist. Keep it simple and it will taste the best.

Best experience in Positano - With so many over priced tourist traps in Positano, it was so refreshing to find such a unique & authentic experience. We loved every minute of this cooking class. Genny welcomed us at the bus & walked us up to the Villa while telling us about the area and his family, such a nice guy. Then we met Emily who was such an incredible hostess full of stories, tips & charm. The Villa has been in Genny & Emily's family for 150 years and is full of charm & character. The food is nearly all home grown & absolutely delicious. I would recommend doing the walk back down to Positano when finished as you can get great photos looking down on Positano. If we could give this more than 5 stars we would.

Must Try Experience! - AMAZING and unforgettable cooking class! This was the highlight from our trip to Positano. Emily and her mom took such great care of us. We did the gnocchi cooking class and made gnocchi, meatballs and the best tiramisu I’ve ever tasted. The cooking class was around 3-4 hours and was incredible. At the end, we ate on Emily’s beautiful patio and were served the dishes. Each dish was made so thoughtfully and with intention (some ingredients even picked from their garden). If you’re in the area, you have to do this experience!

Highly recommend! - Such a lovely time with Emily! It was such an authentic feeling experience just a little drive away from touristy Positano. The food came out incredible!

Heart and Soul of Italy - Emily and her family gave us a wonderful Italian experience !! She made our cooking experience of making gnocchi and tiramisu a relaxed and fun filled time! Emily told stories of her grandparents and family traditions while explaining in detail the steps needed to make our pasta. We created our own tiramisu before moving to the gnocchi and ravioli. Finally we shared a classic Italian meal with Prosecco, wine and Lemoncello. The family hugs as we left will be remembered for a lifetime. Mille Gratias!

Cooking with mama! - Cooking class in a family home. Many of the family participated in prep, instruction and cooking. Local history was shared and the experience was very hands on. Food, company, pace and interaction was amazing. One of the best experiences we have had on any trip.

A must do - Absolutely amazing cooking class me and my partner had the best time and the meal was stunning. I cannot wait to cook gnocchi at home although I doubt it will be anywhere near as nice.

Gnocchi and lemons! - Loved the intimacy with the home and family, the family and their farm. Emily was amazing! We had a delicious lunch with wine and a gorgeous view. Definitely get a ride. Too far of a walk from Positano area.

An authentic experience - We will remember this experience forever! We were welcomed into the beautiful home of Emilie and her extended family and felt like we were a part of the family. They were generous with their time and sharing stories and their home is in the most magnificent position with beautiful views. A perfect place to learn to cook. We learnt lots of tips and tricks and most importantly, sat down to a delicious lunch together. My teenage daughter and I will treasure this memory always.
