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 time learning to cook local dishes with Carla and Rocco. Such an amazing experience. They are so kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
: The cooking class was wonderful. Rocco and Carla were very friendly and knowledgeable. We learned about their life on Praiano and how they make everything from scratch, including the olive oil, the wine, cured meat and a liquor, all from fresh ingredients from their garden or from friends and family. The experience took place in a covered outdoor area on their property right near some of their gardens. We had a lot of fun making a delicious meal and got to meet a nice couple from Australia. We would definitely recommend this to others if you’re looking for an authentic Italian experience!
: Rocco and Carla were great hosts. My family and I had a great time. The food was also delicious. I would whole heartedly recommend this food experience to everyone.
: Our three-generation family of six had an unforgettable farm-to-table experience in Praiano on the stunning Amalfi Coast, hosted by the warm and generous team at Be Genuine—Carla, Rocco, and their adorable son, Alexandro. From the moment we arrived, we felt embraced by their hospitality and the beauty of the setting. Nestled in the hills overlooking the sea, the atmosphere was peaceful and authentic—exactly what we were hoping for. The food preparations were hands-on and rooted in tradition. All ingredients were harvested right from their garden, including the grapes used to make their delicious wine. What truly made the experience exceptional was the company. Carla’s passion for food, Rocco’s passion for wine, and their kindness created a sense of connection that made our family feel like part of their family. It was more than just a meal—it was a celebration of Italian culture, local ingredients, and genuine hospitality. A true highlight of our time in Praiano, and a must for anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast.
: Incredible experience. Rocco and Carla were both very informative and hilarious. Was really cool to be able to learn and cook in their garden, which gave a real local feel and they helped give us trustworthy suggestions for where to go on the rest of our trip. The food was great and really fun to make. We also tried a lot of wine that was probably the best wine we had all trip. Highly recommend.
