Real experiences from real travelers
Booking through this site was incredibly easy. The cooking class at the farmhouse was absolute perfection. We picked our own tomatoes and lemons from the terraced gardens and made the most amazing fresh pasta and tiramisu. The chef was hilarious and patient.
I wanted a genuine Italian cooking experience and this delivered. The booking process was seamless with Viator. We made Neapolitan pizza from scratch and learned the secrets of a proper dough. Eating our creations overlooking the sea was unforgettable.
The platform helped us find a cooking class that fit our tight schedule in Positano. The class was wonderful, though the walk up to the farmhouse was a bit steep! Making fresh mozzarella was surprisingly fun.
I am so glad we booked this. The local chef welcomed us like family. We made ravioli filled with fresh ricotta and a phenomenal lemon dessert using the famous Amalfi lemons. The wine kept flowing!
The verified reviews on this site helped us choose the perfect small-group class. We learned how to make Scialatielli pasta, which is traditional to the area. The garden-to-table concept is truly respected here.
Good booking experience. The class was well organized. I loved learning about the history of the Sfusato Amalfitano lemons before using them to make limoncello and dessert. Portions for the lunch were huge!
Booking was instantaneous and hassle-free. The views from the kitchen in Scala were breathtaking. We harvested eggplants and made the most incredible Melanzane Ripiene. A must-do on the Amalfi Coast.
I highly recommend booking one of these classes. We spent the morning cooking gnocchi and tiramisu, followed by a wonderful lunch with local organic wine. The instructors were professional and the food was the best we had in Italy.
