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!

I had almost given up until I stumbled onto the Sorrento Cooking School at Esperidi resort. For €60/person (cash only) my husband and I were able to enjoy a four hour cooking class in a beautiful and clean setting. The class was taught by an Italian chef that spoke only a few words of English so she had a British woman (who had been living for years in Italy) to translate for her. Very little was lost in translation. First we made pizza fritti (individually sized fried pizza dough topped with homemade marinara sauce, parmesan cheese, and basil). Afterwards we were treated to a glass of Prosecco and invited to enjoy our pizza outdoors on their beautiful patio complete with tall lemon trees. We also made cheese filled ravioli, white fish and potatoes, and tiramisu. At the end of the class we all sat at a communal table to enjoy the fruits of our labor with as much water and wine as our hearts desired! We were sent home with an apron and a copy of all the recipes we had just prepared. I highly recommend this class for anyone who would like to bring a taste of Italy back home.

Our teacher was a woman that reminded me of an Italian mother that always wants to feed you! She really knew her way around the kitchen and was a great teacher. Hubs even enjoyed the experience and he never cooks! We made Neapolitan Pizzette, ravioli, fish, and tiramisu! It was a fun menu and the best part was eating it afterwards. So rewarding to eat something you made. The food was excellent, the experience even better, we made memories and left so full! Now we will get to go home and try out our new recipes for our family. They even give you an apron, shopping bag and recipe card to take home to remember you day at sorrento cooking school! I would recommend to anyone in the area!!!

You could tell the owner is passionate about his family farm that has been in the same Dynasty for at least 400 years.

Almost everything consumed is grown right on the farm. We had came within a hours notice and he was prepared and ready for us.

Chef Vincenzo has an amazing talent of engaging you, Especially the young people in your family. You cut the tomatoes and the garlic, not watch him. You will make your lunch, everyone contributes. I hated to leave, you do learn, and have access to his online cookbook.

Although British, he has lived in Italy for most of his life, including in this gorgeous villa. Recommended to him by my Airbnb host who is a local. This experience will go down in the books for me! His beautiful villa was located off of one of the staircases. There were about 10 or 12 other people. By the end of the night, we were such great friends, that's how Peter brought us all together. He had in-depth explanations, the food sourcing from Italy, where the local ingredients were caught/grown, how to ensure that it is organic, etc. He has an extensive wine cellar in the basement that we did wine tasting in. Super aromatic red wines that he has. We cooked fish, made appetizers, chopped tons of vegetables for risotto, made Oso Buco. He showed us how to cook, gave us instructions for our benefit at home. We sat outside on the bench type seating with beautiful views of the coast. I would love for Chef Peter to come to San Diego as he said he may. This is my type of dream job to pursue if I ever retire. Thank you, Peter, you were lovely and wonderful!
