Wonderful Lunch with Antonia in Salerno - Our time with Antonia was wonderful. She made an amazing meal and we enjoyed our time with her. She let us try some apertifs her husband made and sent us back to our ship with some Limoncello. We are now trying to recreate the turkey / peas that she made for us. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon - it was perfect being inside while it was raining outside!

Amazing Experience, Wonderful teacher, and Beautiful Home! - Our Cesarine, Ludovica, was the perfect teacher for our family. From first contact she was so caring and helpful. Her and her family are warm and welcoming. Ludovica taught us to make gnocchi and we had delicious appetizers, wine, and dessert. The view from her home is amazing. Such a wonderful experience and I will definitely make gnocchi at home

A great local experience - Dining with Siliva was a lovely experience. Entering her spotlessly clean and welcoming home was such a great opportunity to have a first hand insight into the culture of her Salerno home and family. We loved it! So much more enjoyable than going to a restaurant. Friendly, informative, and knowledgeable about local food and cooking practices was interesting. We opted to stay in the kitchen rather than the dining room - Where else would you want to be in an Italian's home? - the food and wine was terrific and we will enjoy using her recipes when we get home. We would highly recommend this experience.

A magical afternoon learning to cook and eat Italian style - Our host was very knowledgeable. I know I can now go home and cook gnocchi. Make a lemon anchovy sauce. Create wine with peach. I understand the area and the foods that come from this place. Our host was amazing. I highly suggest you book with her.

Authentic hospitality - We absolutely loved the experience Elena, Maurizio and Marta offered us. It was a genuine cultural experience with the most delicious food… their open mindedness, passion for family and sharing opened our eyes to more than the Italian way but to the importance of human connections. Grazie.

Delicioso - Carmen was delightful. She has a beautiful home and we felt welcomed immediately. The food was excellent and she provided explanations of its origins. Later on we met her husband who was very charming. Overall it was a wonderful experience.
