We had an amazing experience at Liliana’s cooking class! The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and Liliana put so much love and care into every detail. Everything was beautifully prepared and presented, and she explained each step in such a lovely and engaging way. The food was absolutely delicious! It was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone! Thank you for this special experience, Liliana!

Olga is a very interesting person with a wealth of experience. She knows how to tailor and adapt the course to the needs of the people in front of her. I found it to be a very comprehensive introduction, covering everything from the tools and ingredients to making the pasta dough, using the rolling pin, and finally shaping it into the types of pasta we wanted. She also brought some exceptional ragù to dress our tagliatelle!

Our cooking class was held at Alessandra’s home that sits high on a mountain with a view of Mt Vesuvius. It was an evening class and the city lights below sparkled as we admired the height and grandeur of the mount. That spectacular view was the start of a splendid experience that will remain in our hearts forever. Alessandra’s kitchen was a compact, professionally appointed work of art. We later learned that Alessandra’s husband was the designer and creator of this masterpiece. The kitchen’s appliances and equipment were high end and professional, far superior to what you would find in an average American home. A typical American home does not include two roosters, 12 chickens that create delicious eggs and a vegetable garden that produces delicious tomatoes and spices that Alessandra introduced into our meal. Alessandra spoke very little English and we spoke no Italian however Alessandra was well prepared with a recording device that translated her Italian to English and our English to Italian that could be heard through a high end speaker. Verbal communications flowed effortlessly. The menu for the evening was an appetizer, a pasta dish (ravioli) and dessert. Of utmost importance was that cleanliness was paramount. Throughout the evening we sanitized our hands, utensils and work surfaces. Alessandra crafted a caprese salad appetizer consisting of her home-grown tomatoes and basil. The mozzarella was creamy and delicious. Alessandra created a tiramisu that served as our dessert along with a wonderful red wine created and served by her husband. Alessandra demonstrated how she very precisely measured the ingredients for our ravioli: 100 grams of flour consisting of 10 grams of semolina, 90 grams of double zero flour and 55 grams of egg. We have made pasta for many decades and we never measured ingredients so precisely. When we tasted our creation later in the evening we immediately knew that we were enjoying the best gourmet pasta we have ever consumed. The filling for the ravioli was a blend of four cheeses and spices that were extraordinarily tasty. Alessandra demonstrated and then taught us how to knead the pasta dough. Again, precision was key as we learned to use the palms of our hands to thoroughly blend each layer of dough. It was more work than we anticipated but truly a labor of love as Alessandra ensured the final product was perfect. Alessandra provided us with each recipe so we will practice the skills she shared with us. As the evening continued, we spoke about many subjects and we developed an unexpected bond. We realized that we arrived as customers expecting to enjoy a pasta making class. By the time we departed, we were more than friends as she treated us like family. Alessandra is gracious and sincere and we suspect that each student leaves her class with a similar warm feeling. To conclude and summarize, this night was the highlight of a 12 day vacation that started with a Viking cruise that began in Barcelona, Spain and ended in Sorrento Italy. A return trip to Italy is likely, and if so, another class with Alessandra is inevitable. Joanne and Al Fort Myers, Florida, USA November 2026

Catia and her family were amazing. We made delicious pasta and desserts, tried local meats and cheeses, and had wonderful conversations as we communicated in both English and Italian. We learned a lot about the culture, area, and cuisine and felt like we were parting with dear friends in the end. This has been our favorite experience this trip!
