Summary: My husband and I enjoyed the excursion a great deal from the arrival through to the farewell. Fast-paced gnocchi making, and tiramisu creation. Everyone was hands on and interactive with a lively friendly competitive environment. As a family-run business owner, I appreciated the well-established experience delivery and the stunning views of Sorrento from the family farm.

Summary: This cooking class with Christiano was an unforgettable experience! It was hands-on and full of laughter from start to finish. Christiano’s energy and humor made everyone feel comfortable and involved, and the food we created was truly delicious. The view of the sea made it even more magical — cooking, laughing, and enjoying amazing food with that backdrop was unforgettable. Highly recommend!
