Sorrento Villa Cooking Class with Fresh Harvest Lunch

Just want to thank Ana Maria, Luigi, and Guido for the most superb experience of our entire trip. My grand-daughter and I both learned so much about sustainable farming, and authentic Italian cuisine. It honestly felt like we were hanging out with old friends. We arrived back home last night, and already we are planning on sharing our new skills with our family! You guys are truly specia

This cooking class was maybe one of our favorite things we did on our entire 2 week honeymoon to Italy! Anna Maria and Giovanni were such incredible hosts. My husband and I were picked up at our hotel, and driven up into the countryside to Villa Pane, where the cooking class was held. We immediately got greeted by the cutest golden retriever named Guido, and our driver walked us and the 3 other class members upstairs to the Villa. We were split into two groups, 3 of us being brought inside the kitchen and instructed by Giovanni, while the other two members were instructed outside on the terrace by Anna Maria. The entire time felt like we were hanging out with friends in their kitchen, drinking unlimited wine and getting to know one another while simultaneously cooking. Giovanni taught us how to make small fried dough pizzas, lemon mint filled ricotta, pasta noodles, chicken cacciatora, and chocolate lava cake. Mid-way through our cooking, we brought our wine and Giovanni guided us on a little walk through their gardens, explaining what crops they had and how we were using them in our cooking. When the food was finished, we ate it together outside on the terrace and it was definitely the best food we had on our entire trip! Even though the ingredients were simple, they were so fresh and made the food incredibly delicious. They gave us all of the recipes we made and drove us back to our villa. We left with feeling like family! Book this class if you are on the fence, you will not regret it!

Go on an empty stomach 😊 This experience was amazing and highly recommended!! So grateful to have found it and we will definitely return!

What a fun lunchtime experience! A small group of 6, prepped, prepared and cooked a delicious meal of three different breads, Chicken cacciatore, fresh pasta including ravioli and spaghetti with a freshly made tomato sauce with a lively charming chef. The wines that accompanied the afternoon were perfect.

Loved, loved, loved this experience! My friend and I went together, and it was a joy from beginning to end. The villa grounds are lovely, and they grow so much of what you experience there. The food came out fantastic, and the wine was lovely! Anna-Maria and her staff were a joy! And the limoncello? YUM

My best friend and I did this for our week trip it was still one of her best days and highlights of the trip. We had so much fun learning how to make the amazing meal (gnocchi, eggplant parm, veal and pancetta) plenty of wine and laughs. We got to take home the recipes so we can re create. Gionni & Anna Marie were the best and so personable. 100% recommend experiencing this!

We didn’t know what to expect but what a great experience. Luigi and Marian were wonderful and welcoming. We met 3 other couples all celebrating anniversaries at the class. The food was amazing and we all had so much fun! If you want a great experience, this is the place to go!

The highlight of our holiday. Collected from our hotel and transported in the tiniest little minivan which soon became apparent why it was needed . Tiny streets to get to the stunning villa in the hills. The family were very friendly , had great laughs during the cooking and ended up with a delicious lunch , certainly a day full of memories

Anna Marie and Giovanni were excellent hosts, the food was excellent and the location was very clean interesting

AMAZING!!!!!!! From start to finish!!!!!!!! Sooo personal and welcoming and accommodating!!! All fresh ingredients!
