"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 absolutely loved everything. The hosts were great and the food was plentiful & delicious. We'll be making this food when we get home. Pro tip: if they offer to provide the transportation you should take them up on it. I can see how a taxi would get lost. Also, they have sweet pets and we love Kiki. The view and home are gorgeous as well. Money well spent, would do this again.
- What an amazing experience for my family and I. I highly recommend Alessandra!! Her and her family made us feel so welcome. This is an event that we will never forget. It is so worth doing!!
- This experience was spectacular!! Our day started with Alessandra personally picking us up at our hotel and showed us many sights along the way to her home for our class. We stopped by the market where we hand selected ingredients for our cooking class. We were then welcomed at her home and kitchen with a Prosecco and a spectacular view of the coast from her patio. Our time in the kitchen was very enjoyable and informational! We learned how to make gnocchi, tiramisu and eggplant parmigiana. She even went above and beyond to include a short lesson in pasta making. We then enjoyed the fruits of our labor eating in her backyard patio surrounded by various plants, vegetable and fruit trees! A special shout out to her daughter who assisted Alessandra with this entire process! We were treated like family from beginning to end. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour!!
- From the moment we met Alessandra, she greeted us with open arms and an open heart. Our day with her was the highlight of our entire stay in Italy. She is so considerate, friendly, and passionate; it is impossible not to have fun with her! On the day of our cesarine experience with Alessandra, she picked us up from our hotel, knowing that any taxi or bus would not bring us all the way to her home. We shared an espresso at a cafe before she walked us through the local market and then drove us through the gorgeous countryside to her mountainside home. Cooking with Alessandra and sharing wine and delicious food with her in her beautiful home was nothing short of perfect. She made us feel like family, and we can’t wait to see her again!
- First, I need to acknowledge that because she was our first cooking class, my expectations were set very high after this experience. Alessandra was not only polite and professional, she was also personable and made us feel like family. The market tour was something I had wanted to do and it did not disappoint. She coordinated travel so we didn’t have to think about anything other than being immersed in the experience. She was patient and so much fun to learn cooking techniques from. She gladly answered all of our questions, was explicit about ingredients and helped us make the most amazing food I’ve had. The cooking was hands-on and taught me techniques in a practical manner which I have taken back to my kitchen. She provided recipes and offered to answer any questions we might have in the future. I honestly would have booked again if we had time. Alessandra is one of a kind and the experience she created for us was beyond compare. I have already recommend her to family and friends and we plan to go back and book her again! We appreciate not only her attention to detail but her treating us like family! She is absolutely amazing!
