Shared Experience
Your experience
Homemade pasta in Sorrento is an experience that encapsulates the taste of quiet family Sundays and traditions passed down through the ages.
Back in 1979, a renowned Sorrento chef experimented, trial after trial, to create "scialatiello"-a fresh, rustic pasta designed to capture every flavor of the sauces. During this culinary experience, I will share with you the secrets of this special pasta so that you can experience the magic at home as well. Next, we will dive into preparing the pasta for ravioli alla caprese, and most importantly, I will teach you how to create the fragrant filling that will make them irresistible. We will conclude with an Italian classic: the fluffy tiramisu.

- This experience was absolutely incredible and one of our favorite memories from Italy. From the moment we walked into the host's home, we felt welcomed like family. Their warmth, kindness, and genuine passion for sharing Italian culture made the entire experience so special. Learning to make fresh pasta and authentic tiramisu from recipes passed down through generations was such a unique and memorable experience. The instructions were easy to follow, and we loved hearing the stories and traditions behind each dish. There was something so special about cooking in a real Italian home rather than a commercial kitchen. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm, intimate, and full of laughter. It felt less like a class and more like spending an afternoon with friends around the dinner table. If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience, this is a must-do. I would book this again and again without hesitation. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon and for sharing your home, traditions, and incredible hospitality with us. We will cherish these memories—and these recipes—for years to come!
- It was an amazing experience with the family. Amazing boys and mama welcomed us into their grandparents home and taught us about their history and making dishes. This experience was a 10/10! Looking forward to seeing them again!
- This was one of the highlights of our entire trip. Laura was absolutely amazing. So friendly and welcoming. We felt blessed to be invited into her home and taught some amazing authentic family recipes. Her assistant was also very friendly and helpful. Loved every minute of it. Would highly recommend. Book this experience. You won’t regret it!
- Fantastic experience. Laura made us feel completely comfortable and like we were family. She was very sweet with our 3-month-old baby. The best part was the passion she put into explaining things to us and the various "tricks" for the perfect pastiera. You can feel her enthusiasm and joy for what she does. A not insignificant detail, the result fully satisfied us both visually and in taste. From next year we won't have to buy pastiera anymore (my wife's favorite dessert). Thank you again, highly recommended as an experience.
- We had the best time! We learned to cook 2 pasta dishes & had appetizers, wine & dessert. It was amazing! We were so grateful that Laura opened her home to us!
