Hi from Marilena!
I realized my love for cooking from a young age, ever since Santa Claus brought me "Sweet Oven 90" when I was 7... I spent days baking. Today, cooking for me means conveying the passion and dedication I put into preparing my dishes. The kitchen is my natural habitat, where I find relaxation. I also love welcoming people into my home and making them feel like part of my family. In fact, whenever possible, I often organize lunches or dinners with friends and relatives.

- We had an absolutely fantastic experience at the fresh pasta and tiramisu cooking class! Learning from our host's delightful family, made the atmosphere warm and inviting. The class was well-organized, allowing us to create delicious homemade pasta and the perfect tiramisu. The freshly made dishes were heavenly, and sharing the meal with our host's family added a special touch, filled with laughter and stories. This experience was not just about cooking; it was about family, tradition, and connecting through food. We highly recommend this class for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Italian cooking in a warm family setting!
- Marilena was a wonderful, welcoming coach through our cooking class! She curated a menu to highlight local fresh produce including sorrento’s famous lemons and taught us about pasta, some history, and how to make limoncello (and any other variety)! We had so much fun, ate well, and felt very welcomed. Marilena and her family took us in their arms on arrival and we left feeling a part of their community. Truly wished we could spend more time together but we look forward to when we meet again. Until then, we’ve got an impressive meal to make for our friends back home. ;)
- My husband and I had the best experience with Marilena! Our small group cooking class ended up just being the two of us and Marilena had us feeling like family by the end of the meal. We made two pastas and tiramisu and everything was absolutely delicious. By far the best meal we’ve had since we got to Italy! We highly recommend this experience if you’re looking for delicious food, an authentic experience, a great host, and great time.
- We had an amazing experience with Mari and her family! They welcomed us into their home and treated us like family. We learned to make 2 delicious pasta dishes as well as an incredible tiramisu. Learning local tips and tricks for making the best pasta from Mari added to our experience. I highly recommend Mari's cooking class, I hope I get to do it again someday!
- My friends and I had a fantastic experience with Mari! She was so kind and welcoming. We learned so much about the culture and crafting truly authentic dishes. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone! I would have regretted missing out of this. Grazie mille Mari, to you and your family
