A cooking class I will never forget!
If you're visiting Sorrento, do yourself a favour and book a cooking class with Chef Carmen! It exceeded every expectation I had and was, without a doubt, the best experience of my entire trip to Italy.
Not only did I learn how to make two types of fresh pasta from scratch and an incredible limoncello tiramisu, but I also laughed more than I have in ages. We danced, we sang, we cooked, and we created memories that I'll cherish for a lifetime.
Chef Carmen made everyone feel so welcome, and the whole experience was the perfect mix of learning, fun, and authentic Italian hospitality. I left with new cooking skills, a full stomach, and unforgettable memories.
I honestly cannot recommend this experience enough. If you're in Sorrento, don't miss it!
Operator response
What a beautiful review! 🥹❤️ Thank you so much! This is exactly what Chef Carmen’s cooking classes are all about — we cook, we learn, we eat… but we also laugh, sing and dance! 😂💃🍝
Knowing that our class was the best experience of your trip to Italy means more than you can imagine. 🇮🇹❤️
Thank you for bringing your energy into our kitchen and becoming part of our Italian family. Now you have the pasta skills, the limoncello tiramisu recipe… and plenty of memories to take home with you! 🍋👩🍳
We hope to cook, laugh and dance with you again in Sorrento one day! 🥂😘

Outstanding
Chef Carmen was warm and funny and very authentic. She poured us unlimited glasses of Prosecco and Lemoncello. Her Lemoncello was the smoothest we had tasted, delicious. We were amazed how easy it is to make fresh pasta. The tiramisu and the parmigiana were outstanding. A very enjoyable morning and lunch with Carmen. Grazie Mille, Lols, Dee, Rebecca and Rachel xx
