Learn to cook amazing Italian food! - Carmen is an amazing chef and a wonderful person. She says what's on her mind and you will love her for it! The food we made, with a lot of help, was absolutely incredible. More fun than we imagined we would have on a rainy day in Sorrento!

Outstanding Dishes and an Exceptional Owner and Staff - Carmen and her staff are top notch, first class culinary wizards. Our American group of 18 diners loved it so much that we went back twice! Carmen's persona, exuberance and sheer expertise make her establishment a place that you definitely want to try and love!

START TO FINISH pasta - Chef Carmen! Grazie!! Fun, full of life, and informative. I now know all the best pasta making techniques for a few Italian staples.

Excellent - We had the best time! Carmen made it so relaxing and friendly! Her staff was great! We loved the 70’s music that was played where we sang and danced while learning Carmen’s tips on cooking! Thank you sooo much!!

A highlight of our trip!! - We had an absolutely wonderful time with Carmen!! The cooking class was a BLAST! Carmen explains everything clearly, makes time to be 1-1 with everyone and answers all questions. The food was BEYOND delicious, and the wine & Prosecco flowing the whole time had everyone dancing. We cannot recommend this class enough for any couples or adult families staying in Sorrento or even visiting for a day!!

An experience you don’t want to miss! - Chef Carmen (& family) provided us the most amazing day! We learned so much from this cooking class and Chef Carmen is such a delight! Her passion for cooking will leave you feeling inspired.

It's not just a cooking class—it's an entire experience. - Imagine learning to cook authentic Italian dishes, and then imagine doing that while having a dance party and singing your heart out to some of your favorite tunes. Carmen is knowledgeable and made cooking fun and accessible. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, perfect for our travel group outing. The combination of cooking, dancing, and singing created an unforgettable afternoon. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a great time and learn some delicious recipes!

A Chef “no-show” from Sorrento - I really dislike reviewing an experience without the full story, but I have to explain my 1 star rating. I booked this experience about 3 hrs before our time reservation through Viator. Everything went through smoothly. We were suppose to have a food experience with Chef Carmen at 6:30pm. We arrived at her restaurant at 6:10pm just to make sure we had plenty of time. The restaurant was closed. Looking through the window it was pitch black. Ok, I thought, we’re here early. Dinners start later here, even though I was required to give them a reservation time and 6:30pm was fine. 6:30 rolls around - pitch black on the inside, no staff present. A store next door was closing up shop and we inquired about this restaurant not being opened for our food tour. The person’s response was, Chef Carmen is always late. She’s probably just late again. At 6:40, restaurant still dark; no staff present. I then called Viator, and after explaining our situation, there was some hesitation about us not being at the right place. When I convinced them I was, providing booking #, address, etc, they said they will call Chef Carmen directly. After waiting for 3 min, I get a call back from Viator saying they couldn’t get in touch with Chef Carmen either. She wouldn’t answer the call. Viator said they would refund me the money no problem- which they did, almost immediately. Here’s what gives me pause; did Chef Carmen just decide not to show up, did she have an emergency, but then why not let Viator know, couldn’t a staff of hers write a note and put it on their door “sorry, we are temporarily closed due to …….” All that I know is that my 1 star still stands, and also a thank you to Viator for not giving me too much of a hassle to get a refund.
