Hi from Rocco e Carla!

We are in Praiano, an enchanted village in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, the perfect place to create dishes that reflect tradition and authenticity.Here we are welcomed by Carla and Rocco who since childhood, have experienced the world of cooking first-hand, through studying traditions and spending evenings sitting around the dinner table. For them, cooking is not just passion, it’s  a lifestyle. Their experiences in the restaurant world, have given life to their project: to combine gastronomic passion, traditions and genuine food cooked with the produce that they have grown or even fished themselves. "Following family recipes and passing them on to our guests is our goal!"

We had the most wonderful experience at Rocco and Carla’s cooking class! Their home is absolutely charming with incredible views that made the whole experience feel so special. The food was delicious—fresh, authentic, and full of flavor—and they were such gracious, fun hosts. We loved learning their family recipes and can’t wait to recreate them at home. A truly memorable and heartwarming experience we’ll never forget!

I truly cannot speak highly enough about Rocco and Carla's cooking class. Many of the experiences on the Amalfi coast can feel inauthentic and touristy, but at Be Genuine, you so clearly get a true experience of what it is like to live in Praiano. Rocco was a wonderfully gracious host - warm, welcoming, and so happy to answer all of our questions about what it is like to live in Italy. Carla, our teacher, spoke fantastic English and had lots of tips and tricks learned over generations of Italian cooking that she was more than happy to share. The ingredients were fresh from their garden and the food was absolutely delicious, but the best part of the experience was certainly getting to know this wonderful family. If you are looking to have an unforgettable experience on your trip, you will not regret booking this experience. Grazie mille, Rocco, Carla, and Alexandro!

Excellent pasta-making experience at a beautiful venue with gorgeous views in Praiano Italy. Rocco is a wonderful host and his wife, Carla, a superb chef. We made pasta and a beautiful and delicious dessert with mascarpone, cookies and cacao. This is an experience you won't want to miss. Highly recommend!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
