Mixed bruschetta
Spaghetti 'alla puttanesca' with olives and capers
Caprese Cake (the famous dessert of the Island of Capri)
The bruschetta on this menu are traditional family lunch dishes, like spaghetti alla puttanesca. Caprese is a dessert that originated in Capri, but on the island of Ischia it is always prepared for family lunches. With lemons from my garden, the recipe is sure to be special. We accompany everything with local wine and homemade limoncello.
The cooking class was really nice but there are still a few points to improve:
- the address sent by the website is not foundable on google maps, the link brought us to another place and we did not know where to go until Alessandra sent her precise localisation, which made us to be late;
- the class lasted 2 hours instead of 3;
- the recipes Alessandra herself offered to send have never been sent...
So I find the price a bit exagerated in such conditions.

Wonderful experience with delicious Ischian flavors! Alessandra was patient as we attempted to master the gnocchi making, and just an overall delight in her stories of food and the island. And a note to other guests, the rabbit stew tastes even more tender than chicken!

I absolutely loved my culinary experience with Alessandra! She is warm, welcoming, incredibly kind, and an excellent teacher. Her passion for Italian cuisine shines through, and she takes the time to explain everything with patience and clarity. I highly recommend her cooking class to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Forio Ischia.

Alessandra was a brilliant host and we had a fun time. She explained things well and answered all of our questions. We loved the food and will definitely be trying to recreate the food back at home.
