Pasta Cooking class in Pompeii

Booking this cooking class with Sabrina was hands down the best thing we did in Italy, and we visited Rome, Naples, Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi! First off, Sabrina rescheduled our class to a time she doesn't normally host just so my husband and I could come. When we arrived, she greeted us warmly and gave us a tour of her garden and beautiful property, with Mount Vesuvius as the backdrop. She told us all about her ingredients and some local history, then walked us through a fun, in-depth lesson on making ravioli and caprese cake, using ingredients straight from her garden. The food was incredible. We've never had anything so fresh! Sabrina went above and beyond at every turn, treating us to appetizers, wine, and homemade limoncello, and she even charged my phone when it was about to die. She was a wonderful host: friendly, kind, and so accommodating. She truly makes you feel like family. This experience was a 20/10. Book it; it'll be the highlight of your trip!

Sabrina welcomes you into her family home, provides a tour of their organic garden, and shares her generational knowledge and lifetime of pasta making experience. More important than any recipe, she shows you proper technique and coaches you through the entire process. While learning what a proper dough looks and feels like, she eliminates any guess work or uncertainty to enable all skill levels to successfully make the pasta on their own.

Sabrina was absolutely delightful and the pasta (and cake!) turned out delicious! We prepared our meal in her beautiful kitchen in the fresh air of her garden. A wonderful local experience that I highly recommend!

Had a wonderful experience. Step away from all the tourists and Into a peaceful family garden. We took our two children to do this class and they said it has been their favorite thing. Our host made us feel like family. We got to try several delicious things, make and eat pasta and cake and enjoy wine. This experience is a hidden gem.

We were in Italy for 2 weeks and this pasta making lesson with Sabrina was one of the highlights of our trip. Sabrina is a lovely person, we met her husband and three kids (including Gary the cat). We had a chance to sample some wonderful bruschetta she served us and then onto the lesson. We learned about the flours used, how to mix the dough and properly use the pasta machine. We made ravioli and she also showed us how to make fettuchini as well. The best part -- we were invited to the kitchen table to eat the pasta we made --- oh soooo good. She even introduced us to Gragnano wine from her uncle's vineyard. I can't recommend this lesson enough. Great for a small family group.

Visiting an authentic Italian farm at the base of Mount Vesuvius was an extraordinary experience that transported my family to a world of tradition, warmth, and culinary delights. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with open arms by the hospitable host, Sabrina, and her welcoming family. The picturesque setting of the farm, surrounded by lush vineyards and olive groves, added to the charm and authenticity of the experience. Under the guidance of Sabrina, my family of 5 - including parents and grandmother with two young g adults - had the unique opportunity to learn the art of making homemade pasta ravioli with a delightful lemon sauce. The process was a true labor of love, as we carefully kneaded the dough, filled it with a delectable mixture of ricotta cheese and spinach, and expertly sealed each delicate parcel. As the aroma of the simmering lemon sauce filled the air, we couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Throughout the cooking class, the wine flowed freely, enhancing the convivial atmosphere and adding to the joyous celebration of food and family. Sabrina's passion for her heritage and culinary traditions was contagious, and her warm and engaging personality made the experience even more memorable. It was truly a feast for the senses, as we savored each mouthwatering bite of our homemade ravioli, paired perfectly with the farm's own exquisite wine. Visiting Sabrina's farm was not just a cooking class, but a cultural immersion that allowed me to connect with the heart and soul of Italian traditions. It was a reminder of the importance of family, good food, and the joy that comes from sharing a meal with loved ones. I left the farm with a newfound appreciation for the art of Italian cooking and a heart full of cherished memories.
