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 loved spending an evening with this lovely couple, learning to cook authentically from their town. If you want to feel like part of a family and not like a tourist, come and learn from them!
: Rocco and Carla were warm, welcoming, and full of fascinating stories that made the experience truly memorable. The small group setting created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with beautiful weather and a stunning environment. We enjoyed absolutely delicious homemade meals, paired with local wine and fresh herbs straight from their garden. Their pasta-making workshop was hands-on, fun, and packed with useful tips — from crafting the perfect dough to preparing rich, authentic sauces. A truly unforgettable Italian experience I’d highly recommend!
: 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.
