Pure Calabrian enjoyment
We wanted to book an evening cooking class, but unfortunately they were all already booked up during our vacation. But we were immediately offered an alternative for a cooking class at noon. Enzo always responded very quickly and in a friendly manner in English.
We were picked up directly at the hotel, from where we first went to a viewpoint at Capo Vaticano. Upon arriving at the agriturismo, we first received a tour of the property to see the animals and gardens.
At the chicken coop, we were allowed to collect the eggs for the pasta and, in the garden, the vegetables for the sauce.
We then all prepared the ingredients for a 3-course meal together, which the chef then finished cooking.
Everything tasted very good, and we would definitely do it again and recommend it to everyone.
Everything was perfectly translated into English, and it was also ensured that the group from different countries got along well with each other.
Nice people, good conversations, good food.
What more could you want?

From the garden to the table
It was a delightful experience. Enjoy is a wonderful host and tour guide. His English is very good. The place where we did the cooking prep had spectacular views. They grow their own vegetable, they used eggs from their farm and make bread from the wheat grown there. Over all it was well worth. I highly recommend it
Operator response
Many thanks.
Best regards.

Excellent excursion with Enzo
Enzo picked us up from our apartment, drove us to a beautiful view at Capo Vaticano with drinks, then to dinner at the farm. The farm is a beautiful agroturismo (farm/ hotel/ restaurant) and we toured the farm, picked veggies, and made pasta/ antipasto/ dolci with the chef Antonio. Excellent vibes all around, excellent meal, and Enzo made everything work well. The sunset view from the restaurant is unbeatable, and Capo Vaticano is amazing as well. Excellent activity!
Operator response
Thank you so much, Sam & Jeff!
It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we're so glad you enjoyed the great vibes.
Agreed: Capo Vaticano panorama is breathtaking
I hope to welcome you back again soon!
Warm regards,

Fun and baby friendly experience - private class
We had a great time with our private pasta making class! We were traveling with our 8 month old baby and I was worried I wasn’t going to get the most out of the class, but Enzo and the whole staff were very accommodating. They were all friendly and welcoming and Enzo even took care of our baby while we participated in the class. In between breaks I was able to feed and change my baby’s diaper, so I would say this is a very baby friendly experience, something so valuable to parents who want to continue to travel while prioritizing their baby’s needs. We experienced eating Cedro, a citrus we’ve never encountered before. We made our own pasta, and watched the chef make very tasty zucchini appetizer. The walk in the farm/garden was very informative and impressive to know that 90% of what the restaurant prepares comes from their garden. In the end they made a house made Limoncello that tasted better than anything we had at the Amalfi Coast. Thank you so much for this experience!
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a beautiful review! My goal was always to create an environment where everyone feels like family. I know how challenging it can be for parents to balance the desire to travel and try new things with the everyday needs of a baby. That’s why we make it a top priority to ensure our experience is 100% family and baby-friendly. Warm regards. Enzo

Delicious Farm-to-Table Cooking Experience
We had an amazing and unforgettable farm-to-table cooking experience. We started in the garden and farm area gathering eggs from under a chicken and plucking strawberries from the field. We then put the eggs to use in delicious homemade pasta and our chef/ teacher topped a delectable deconstructed cannoli dessert with the berries. Our guide Enzo seamlessly ushered us through the cooking steps, translating the chef’s instructions and shared such interesting tidbits about Calabrian food and native produce. It was an enjoyable, relaxing and delicious few hours. Highly recommend.
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful review! I'm absolutely thrilled that you had an unforgettable time exploring our garden and kitchen. It was a true pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to the farm the next time you're in the area! Warm regards. Enzo
