Hi from Alessandra!
Sorrento, land of sirens that tempted Ulysses and home of Torquato Tasso, offers moments of poetry between secret coves, breathtaking views and tasty stops, as at home of our Cesarina Alessandra. "I love traditional cuisine and I am passionate about leavened, especially the Neapolitan pizza made with my sourdough, with which I make fragrant breads, of any kind of flour". At her table flavors of sea and land, recipes of the culinary tradition of Sorrento, fragrant and tasty.

- We had an amazing with Alessandra. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, she made us feel very welcome, and her home is beautiful. It has an amazing view of the ocean, Vesuvius, and a kitchen garden! Couldn’t have asked for a better time. Eat a light breakfast, because there will be tons of delicious food!
- My husband and I had a fantastic time in Alessandra’s Italian cooking class! We made tagliatelle, gnocchi, ravioli, and tiramisu from scratch. I am a vegetarian and she was very considerate when it came to that. Alessandra was so knowledgeable, patient, and thorough, offering great insights into the history of the dishes. She even took us to a local bakery to try fresh bread, adding a lovely touch to the experience. I highly recommend this class—it was fun, informative, and a truly authentic Italian cooking experience!
- This was a really nice experience! The view was beautiful, the pizza delicious and Alessandra is such a nice host! We learned a lot!
- Alessandra made our cooking (including the shopping, making and eating) personal. It was a really fun experience from start, to finish. If you have an opportunity to learn from Alessandra - please say yes, I promise you'll have a great day!
- The experience with Alessandra was fantastic. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested. The warmth and hospitality and generosity was far beyond our expectations. The setting was truly stunning and the food and refreshments were delicious. Many ingredients were grown in their personal gardens and orchards and all the other ingredients were local, fresh, and top quality. We felt completely satisfied with the experience overall and will remember it for years to come. And we look forward to attempting the Napoli style pizza recipes at home as well. Thanks so much to Alessandra and her lovely family! :) Ciao!
