After my wife & I recently experienced Mamma Agata's cooking class, I quickly realized that writing…read moremy review would not be that easy. That's because words alone are truly not sufficient to explain the entire experience from start to finish. First of all, the class takes place at Mamma Agata's home in Ravello and it is situated in the high elevation of the mountains overlooking the water. The views are priceless and will take your breath away. You may see donkeys that are used to help farmers gather and move the incredible lemon crops. Chiara, Mammas daughter, now conducts the classes and is wonderful and so knowledgeable and welcoming. You will spend the day cooking with Chiara and her sous chef and learning about the proper rules and techniques required to create Italian cuisine. You will also drink excellent wine while cooking and eating! Time is given to relax and walk around the terraced vegetable and flower gardens before returning to the kitchen. All the while you will get to know the other guests which is a lot of fun. We did not want the class to end but we walked away with a once in a lifetime experience and memory that exceeded all expectations! We strongly recommend that you hire a driver to get you back and forth from Mamma Agata's home & to start the process of getting a reservation early. We also suggest not eating much before you go.. you'll be eating plenty of great food all day. Don't forget your camera! Also, you will have time to order her products before you go if you wish. There is no pressure to do so. Don't miss this experience!!

Mamma is worth every penny, and then some! I had such an amazing experience, one that I wish I…read morecould relive. When I think back to all my trips to Europe, all the sites and restaurants, this is absolutely at the top of my list for most memorable experiences. Let me paint the picture for you. It's an all day cooking class at Mamma's home in Ravello. We hired a driver who picked us up and dropped us off in Positano - I recommend you do the same and hire a driver. Upon arrival you're greeted with a warm smile, hug, and hello from Chiara, Mamma's daughter, who ultimately runs the show. You're then greeted with the best lemon cake you'll ever have in your life. Once the whole group arrives, Chiara sets the stage for the day and everyone heads to the kitchen and the cooking begins. Chiara, her husband Gennaro, and of course, Mamma, do all the cooking as they share tips and tricks. The wine starts flowing, the sampling begins and the day just progresses from there. Their home is stunning - it's located on a cliff and the views are special. Our group was great - about 12 people or so (mainly married couples). The food was incredible - such good quality and taste. Those fritters...are you kidding me?!? This is not a cheap experience, but it's one you will never forget.

We even had to shift back our class one hour due to our ship's port time changing and they were very nice and accommodating. Once we arrived, we were greeted by the owners Alberto and Maurizio. While we waited for the other students, we chit chatted and drank a fruity beverage. Everyone was just lovely and charming. The space was bright and inviting. Luigi taught our class - he was extremely knowledgeable and was able to teach those of us that didn't speak any Italian (with a little translation help from Maurizio). We made 3 kinds of pizzas, all using equipment we have in our homes for easy duplication of the recipes. I had to save my calzone for dinner as everything was so delicious and filling! Being in Italy, we of course had wine with our meal. If I ever return to Naples, I will definitely take another class. They teach so much more than just Italian food. I'd LOVE to take the pastry class!

When we arrived we were greeted by a hostess who gave us some history about the restaurant and gave us a tour around the newly renovated property, their extensive wine cellar, sitting room and cooking school kitchen. Our visit so happened to coincide with their grand re-opening after a year and half of renovations. They also have rooms you can rent and one villa as well as enroll in cooking classes. During our meal one of the owners Salvatore came to our table and greeted us, as did Chef himself! We felt special and appreciated and they were truly genuine and happy to have us. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with intimate areas and quiet spaces as well as larger open spaces for larger groups. Service was above and beyond and the food out of this world. No wonder it's a two Michelin star restaurant. If you're a foody you must try one of their locations! I'll be trying the one in Toronto next time I'm there! Thank you again for a wonderful evening!

After many hours of research into the perfect cooking class on Capri I found Michel'angelo and…read morebooked it! I can't say enough good things! We did the Master Class and made gnocchi with a basil pesto, a meatball pie/casserole and a lemon almond cake. The class size is max of 12 people but we got lucky and were the only ones that class! The cooking class is held inside of the Michel'angelo restaurant which is stunning! Greenery and lemon's everywhere. We walked in and met Chef Gianluca and his wife, Holly and they immediately offered us to sit and relax with a glass of Prosecco. After our fill of Prosecco we headed to the kitchen and got cooking. Gianluca is a really talented Italian chef who taught us many things about Italian cooking styles and ingredients. Alex and I both cook so we really enjoyed learning new ways to cook in the kitchen. Also they grow most of their own ingredients and make their own wine! Holly is Australian so we were able to converse the most with her and she was breaking down the processes for us. She was so friendly and a sensational woman! After we were done cooking and having copious amounts of wine we sat down to enjoy our 3 course lunch and boyyyyy did we make some delicious food! Never had anything like the casserole and can't wait to make these at home! Ciao Holly & Gianluca we will see you again next time!

AND they have their own wine, which was crazy delicious. We ordered several dozen bottles to be shipped home. Our cooking experience was centered around lemons, which is surely appropriate and yummy delicious. First we made homemade limoncello. Then a lemon torte, much like Capri's torte known as a specialty of the island. Then lemon sauce on ravioli and lemon based linguini. I admit to being not much of a chef, however today I felt like one. Ingredients so simple. Instructions simple. John Luca, a fourth generation Caprese, made our instruction and efforts so simple and easy to follow at home. It just was, in one word, divine. Holy, John Luca's wife of three years is an Australian attorney who could not be happier and more welcoming. The duo are an exceptional pair and even if you are not a chef (like me) this is an absolute MUST DO while vacationing on Capri.
