Are you set to unravel the distinct delicacies of our native culinary repertoire, passed down to me by my grandmother, whilst immersing yourself in our customary Italian way of life? You’ll be actively involved, gaining valuable culinary skills and insights. Here, you’ll don the hats of both the cook and the diner, honing the art of creating our culinary masterpieces, taught to me by my matriarch! You’ll master new techniques right from the basics, which you can easily replicate at your domicile, such as crafting gnocchi, eggplant parmesan and the traditional tiramisu. Amidst an atmosphere of camaraderie, surrounded by lemon and olive trees, you’ll wholly immerse in the Italian way of life. I will also demonstrate how we produce olive oil and limoncello. My aspiration is that this experience will not just reside in your memory, but primarily, in your heart!

Delicioso! Fun Cooking Class! - Delicious excursion! Smooth pickup from Lauro parking lot, exquisite views from this lovely villa with indoor/outdoor kitchen. Cristiano was a superb host, funny, informative, engaging, he really made this cooking class more fun than we expected. The food we prepared was utterly luscious, they had the eggplant already cooked in advance, so helpful! There are cute and useful items to purchase after class, we bought several items. REALLY WELL DONE, don't miss this one!

Cooking with family - The entire experience was perfect. The class was small enough to be personal and Chef Christiano was very entertaining. We felt like family there and that day was my birthday, so the Chef's mother made tiramasu for me and placed a candle on top. The entire group sang happy birthday to me. What a wonderful memory of Sorrento!

Fabulous and authentic Sorrento cooking experience! - Our cooking school experience with Christiano was such a blast! He and his mother ‘Mama’ were a slick operation - it was all very well organized. Christiano was a bundle of energy and a font of knowledge about local food. The food was delicious! Do this - you won’t regret it!
