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!

My aspiration is that this experience will not just reside in your memory, but primarily, in your heart!

Fun cooking experience in Italy! - Wow this was so much fun! The experience was fast moving and Cristiano was very engaging. We made tiramisu to start, then learned about how to make authentic 'Sunday sauce', potato gnocchi and eggplant Parmesan. There was white wine, red wine and limoncello at the end. Cristiano's family home is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views which added to the experience.

Amazing food and family oriented - We had an amazing experience at this cooking class!! The chef, Christiano, and his mother treated us like family from the start. We made the most delicious eggplant parmesan (which was one of our favorite things we had the whole 12 days in Italy), gnocchi, and tiramisu! Don’t forget the limoncello shots at the end. We had such a fun time and highly recommend it!!

Authentic cooking with a beautiful view! - This was so much fun! Cristiano was funny, entertaining and gave us a lot of great information! The food was delicious and it was an enjoyable and memorable experience. If you’re staying at Hotel Mary, he is right next door. Make sure to contact them bc you can just walk there.

Expensive and unprofessional - Transport Was told that we would have space to attend the class today to find out on arrival that there was one space for my partner and not myself. We were then told to catch the train to the location of which there was known national train strike - this seemed very sneaky of Cristiano as our airbnb hosts mention all Italians knew about this as it was in the national media. We were pleased to be moved to the evening class however had to rearrange our whole day given their prior mistake. To be told at the end of the class that transport was an extra cost was very disappointing as the booking clearly states “Cooking Experience with transportation!” with no terms and conditions stating otherwise. Thus costing an additional 20€ for the two of us. Dinner The “cooking” experience was underwhelming and overpriced. There is only about 10/15 minutes of actual work. You do not actually cook. You are supplied prepared items to assemble. Entire “experience” was expensive for what it was and you could easily spend this on an extravagant fine dining experience in Sorrento, which would be far more enjoyable and possibly even cheaper. Wine Do not listen to the idea there is unlimited wine as suggested. We were offered 2 glasses and no more afterwards which was disappointing. Conduct When my partner approached them to rectify being left behind earlier she was laughed at by the host and mum and told they would not apologise. We both came out of the course feeling uncomfortable from sexual jokes towards females and inappropriate touch on the females who attended the class.
