Shared Experience
Your experience
Sartù di riso is a refined dish born in the kitchens of Neapolitan nobility in the 18th century. A sumptuous rice timbale with rich meat ragù, featuring a melting heart of Sorrento mozzarella, hard-boiled eggs, peas, and tiny meatballs. A spectacular and delicious masterpiece that recalls the lavish banquets of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the enchanting atmosphere of The Leopard, with the iconic dance between Angelica and the Prince of Salina. From my family's ancient recipe books, an invitation to prepare and savor this symbol of aristocratic Neapolitan cuisine, perfectly paired with excellent wine. We will end on a sweet note with a refreshing limoncello-soaked babà!

- This was during our honeymoon and we could not have had a better experience. We both loved our time with Laura! She made what seemed like a labor intensive process very fun and enjoyable. Laura is a breath of fresh air, knowledgable and most importantly, patient! We both believe that others who do not schedule a class from her are doing themselves a huge disservice. She made us feel very welcomed in her home like we were her own family.
- We had the best experience cooking with Laura and her daughter! Welcomed with open arms and had delightful appetizers to start on the balcony. We made gnocchi that was beyond delicious and laughed and learned! If you want the best food in Sorrento then please come to the cooking class and enjoy learning from one of the very best!
- We had a great evening hosted by the lovely Laura and her 2 helpers. They made us feel so welcome in the home. The food was lovely and I will be making some things again at home. If you enjoy food and experiencing real Italian home cooking then I recommend this
- Laura is AMAZING my boyfriend and I had the best time learning to make pasta and tiramisu. She was so kind and the food was incredible. This was one of our very favorite experiences!!!
- Io e mia moglie abbiamo prenotato una lezione di cucina, pensando che sarebbe stata un’esperienza divertente—ma ciò che abbiamo vissuto è stato molto più di questo: alcune ore davvero deliziose, toccanti e umili che non dimenticheremo mai. Siamo stati accolti da Ettore, che ci ha invitati nella casa dei suoi nonni—una casa piena di vita e fascino, con pareti adornate di foto di famiglia, dal passato al presente, decorazioni tradizionali italiane e quell’atmosfera accogliente che ci si aspetta da una tipica casa italiana. Poco dopo, abbiamo conosciuto Laura, che ci ha accolti con un sorriso enorme. Sembrava subito una mamma italiana—piena di calore, gentilezza e generosità. Ettore e Laura ci hanno fatto sentire parte della loro famiglia fin dal primo momento. Siamo stati accompagnati nel salotto principale, dove ci è stato offerto un delizioso assortimento di stuzzichini italiani e bevande per metterci a nostro agio. Poi siamo passati in cucina, per due ore di vera esperienza culinaria. Abbiamo imparato a preparare gli gnocchi alla sorrentina e una pasta tradizionale con le patate—entrambi piatti ricchi di sapore e tradizione, un vero piacere da cucinare e gustare. Abbiamo anche preparato il tiramisù, che era così buono che ho finito per mangiare metà di quello di mia moglie! Abbiamo riso, parlato di cibo italiano, di vita familiare, e per quelle due ore con queste persone meravigliose, ci siamo sentiti immersi in un mondo completamente nuovo. È stata molto più di una semplice lezione—è stata un’esperienza piena di cuore, e un ricordo che porteremo sempre con noi.
