If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would! Anna was amazing from start to finish. This class was welcoming, fun, entertaining and geared towards all levels of learning and cooking. We had THE BEST time and our food was delicious!! Anna took her time and kept us full and laughing. If you are ever in Sorrento, YOU MUST take this class! The school also offers pizza making classes!!! You can’t go wrong.
Perfect Evening

This was the absolute highlight of our trip to Sorrento. Anna really went above and beyond to deliver a perfect experience for my fiancé and I; allowing for embarrassingly different levels of competency in the kitchen.
A 3 course meal, nibbles and a cocktail to go with it. We really can't thank you enough and will definitely be back.
This was the most amazing...

What a great time we had. Anna is lovely, like a friend showing you how to cook. We had cheese meat & bread & lime cello cocktail to have as went went along, made fresh meatballs, fresh pasta & tiramisu then ate it all for lunch. We had local wine & beer to try as well. So looking forward to trying to make these at home.
Great experience - don’t hesitate just go

This was probably the best part of our trip to Sorrento. Anna was so thoughtful and funny! She taught us how to make wonderful dishes that we can take home to our families. Highly recommend booking a class here!
Incredible experience.
Katherine_B, Aug 2022
The class was amazing. We were able to pick a few of our favorite pasta dishes and create magic in the kitchen. The tiramisu was incredible. She makes you feel at ease and gives great instructions. Speaks English very well. I cannot say enough good words about his experience
Pasta made Simple!!
Jacqueline_S, Jun 2022
The private cooking class with Anna and Patricia ( Anna’s Mother) was excellent. My daughter and I were given the option to observe or participate and we jumped in with both hands! We learned how to make pasta and tomato sauce with meatballs from scratch. We were also treated to an appetizer, lemoncello spritz, wine and tiramisu ( a quick version Anna taught us). There was definitely a lot of food!!
Anna and Patricia were very welcoming, patient and truly did want to teach us how to cook these dishes.
The location was super convenient in the middle of the downtown Sorrento tourist area, that we could easily walk to from our hotel.
Thank you again Anna and Patricia!!

Five star experience
Laura_B, Aug 2021
Five star experience. This was myself and a friends first time in Italy and first time taking a cooking class. Anna and her mom were absolutely wonderful. This was without a doubt one of the best and most fun parts of our Italian holiday! We left absolutely stuffed and with food packed up for the next day. Could not have been more pleased with the experience!
