The whole experience was absolutely amazing. I was on a two week Europe trip with 6 of my girlfriends and we all agreed that this cooking class was the highlight of our trip. We were in the owners home and all the ingredients we cooked with were from their garden. All the food was so fresh! Plus, all you can drink wine. The family was so welcoming. The food… I will dream about this gnocchi forever. Can not put into words what a wonderful experience we all had.

This was one of our most favorite parts of our Italy trip and like nothing my best friend and I have done before. The information we gathered was magical, the food was…well it’s ruined all other gnocchi and tiramisu for me LOL…it was so delicious, and the company of Genny and Emily was perfect. They were so genuine, friendly, and the house was spotless. They answered all of our questions and we even got a sweet magnet at the end! Hearing about their family history was so special. Emily sent us all the recipes and I can only hope to replicate them just a little like she taught us. So grateful we did this class!!

Heaven in the Amalfi Hills

My wife and I attended the cooking class in April 2024 and cannot say enough great things about Emily and her family! The group size is limited (we had 7) and they made us feel right at home—like Sunday supper with family! Very authentic. We were looking for a laid back, hands on, small class and this experience checked every box. Emily was an exceptional hostess, with her mother and brother chipping in. Their family kitchen is beautiful and the serene view only added to the experience. We had a hands on experience making tiramisu, gnocchi, and meatballs (coupled with Prosecco and wine and lemoncello), then dined on their beautiful patio. They provided an assortment of local vegetables and cheeses (including their family EVOO), making for the perfect anti-pasta plate! Though it is a short bus ride outside of Positano, from initial communications and confirmations, help with travel arrangements, meeting us at the square, walking us to their home and then back again, the trip could not have been more manageable. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for an authentic experience!

Best cooking experience, even better people.

Kelly_S, Apr 2024

Emily and all of her family were wonderful hosts and instructors. From start to finish, we enjoyed every moment. Tiramisu, gnocchi, meatballs… all handmade by us using Emily’s grandmas recipes passed down for generations. Using all fresh and local ingredients. With one key message… good ingredients do exist. Keep it simple and it will taste the best.

Best experience in Positano

Shane_K, Mar 2024

With so many over priced tourist traps in Positano, it was so refreshing to find such a unique & authentic experience. We loved every minute of this cooking class. Genny welcomed us at the bus & walked us up to the Villa while telling us about the area and his family, such a nice guy. Then we met Emily who was such an incredible hostess full of stories, tips & charm. The Villa has been in Genny & Emily's family for 150 years and is full of charm & character. The food is nearly all home grown & absolutely delicious. I would recommend doing the walk back down to Positano when finished as you can get great photos looking down on Positano. If we could give this more than 5 stars we would.

Must Try Experience!

Melinda_H, Mar 2024

AMAZING and unforgettable cooking class! This was the highlight from our trip to Positano. Emily and her mom took such great care of us. We did the gnocchi cooking class and made gnocchi, meatballs and the best tiramisu I’ve ever tasted. The cooking class was around 3-4 hours and was incredible. At the end, we ate on Emily’s beautiful patio and were served the dishes. Each dish was made so thoughtfully and with intention (some ingredients even picked from their garden). If you’re in the area, you have to do this experience!

Highly recommend!

Julia_M, Oct 2023

Such a lovely time with Emily! It was such an authentic feeling experience just a little drive away from touristy Positano. The food came out incredible!

A must do

Natalia_R, Oct 2023

Absolutely amazing cooking class me and my partner had the best time and the meal was stunning. I cannot wait to cook gnocchi at home although I doubt it will be anywhere near as nice.

An authentic experience

Erryn_S, Oct 2023

We will remember this experience forever! We were welcomed into the beautiful home of Emilie and her extended family and felt like we were a part of the family. They were generous with their time and sharing stories and their home is in the most magnificent position with beautiful views. A perfect place to learn to cook. We learnt lots of tips and tricks and most importantly, sat down to a delicious lunch together. My teenage daughter and I will treasure this memory always.

Delicious! Incredible! A MUST!

Eric_Z, Sep 2023

We were greeted off our bus stop and escorted up to the beautiful Villa of Emily and Genny. There is an amazing scenic overview from their kitchen. Emily taught us a bit about the history of their family and land. We made our own tiramisu and rolled out gnocchi while having several nice photo opportunities along the way. All of the ingredients were fresh, collected directly from their grounds that morning and within the last few days. Every bite was delicious and complimented by a wonderful view outside on their terrace. This family worked together so seamlessly to deliver a truly unique and remarkable experience. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Emily and her family were so welcoming I would recommend this cooking class to anyone looking for an authentic experience! One of our favorite parts of our whole trip

Yum, yum, yum…

John_B, Sep 2023

Food and wine! Very organized cooking class, with excellent explanations. They were very accommodating, helped organize rides both ways.

A memorable experience that you will love

John_G, Aug 2023

Emily has the biggest heart and she is super passionate about cooking. She told us about how her grandmother instilled in her a love for cooking. The class is taught in the family kitchen. Emily explains the recipes, shows you how to make the food, and gives great insights into what makes the food so delicious. Emily and her family make this such a rewarding experience.

An experience I will never forget

Nicole_Z, Aug 2023

Emily was the most incredible host, she arranged a taxi service for us to get there and greeted us with the most amount of love into their spectacular home. Emily and her family were so welcoming and took so much time to talk to us about their history and cooking. We got so much food and alcohol than I anticipated. All the food was fresh from their garden and tasted perfect. Emily even arranged a taxi service to get us home, and insisted we messaged her right up until we got home. Her care factor is out of this world! I cannot wait to do this again!

Best experience ever!!!

Karolina_B, Jul 2023

Authentic and delicious

Natasha_L, Jun 2023

My boyfriend and I loved this cooking class experience. It felt so authentic and was wonderful to really get to know Emily’s family and understand the traditions that they have carried on. The food was amazing and so fresh. We would recommend this class to everyone. The location is far up away from the main hustle and bustle of Positano which was a welcome change. Come hungry!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you so much 😊 we really love to do this experience and we are really happy that you enjoy!!! Come hungry 😋 yes because my mum live big portion 😂😂😂

Simply the best!

Michelle_S, Jun 2023

If you are looking for the best cooking class in Positano, I highly recommend this one only. The sweetest family (mother, father, daughter and son) welcomed us into their beautiful home with the most gorgeous view and we made delicious gnocchi and tiramisu from scratch with many ingredients from their personal garden. We drank, cooked, ate and laughed and it was an experience to always remember! The highlight of my trip! Thank you to Emily and family

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you so much for coming and spent your time with our family! We hope that we can leave a piece of our family tradition
