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.

- Exceptional evening with Alessandra. We were greeted with Prosecco and focaccia. We proceeded to make individual Tiramisu portions. Then on to the real Business. How to make a proper pizza dough. We were 9 participants total. We worked our dough balls, which, of course, needed to be proofed. Alessandra had dough ready to go. I was assigned the sauce: home grown tomatoes, with added salt and home made olive oil. One at a time we were called to the wood-fired oven in the back yard (actually built by her very pleasant husband!). Each pizza was better than the one before. We were served homemade wine and then enjoyed our tiramisu, served with homemade limoncello. The experience was personal, warm and very enjoyable. We all (6 of us) give Alessandra 5 stars.
- Alessandra was a fabulous host and chef with a lovely home. The instructions to make pizza and tiramisu were simple and fun. We were a family of 6 and she treated us like family. Almost all of the ingredients were from her property. I’d highly recommend booking with her.
- Alessandra was amazing from beginning to end! My husband and I loved her ! She welcomed us into her home , which was beautiful as well. Nestled in the hills of Sorrento, overlooking Mount Vesuvius, Naples and Sorrento, with 360 degree views. Her home boasts her own gardens, which supply her with much of her own produce! She is kind, thoughtful, fun and knowledgeable! 100% a great culinary experience!
- Alessandra was the perfect host and teacher! She is a very special person
- Alessandra was amazing! She was warm, welcoming and super friendly! Most of all an amazing cook and teacher! We LOVED her!
