Best part of the trip!! Book it! - This was the highlight of our trip to the Amalfi coast! We can't emphasize enough just how fun and authentic this experience is. The views from Rocco and Carla's beautiful home are magnificent, their positive energy and warmness make you feel right at home, and the freshness of the food is impeccable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and hope to return again! Also as soon as we returned home I made these recipes again, that's how delicious they were!

Genuine Italian experience! - I highly recommend this cooking class! I had such an amazing time with Carla and Rocco and the other guests. The night started with homemade breads and cheeses and Rocco telling us stories of his family’s life in Praiano. We then learned how to make homemade pasta with two different sauces. We also learned how to make a delicious dessert. The experience felt intimate and unique. You definitely should book it!

Wonderful setting for a fabulous meal - As the name states, it's a couple cooking in a newly built patio in their backyard in a house that's been in his family for 6 generations with food grown in their garden. If you want a true Praiano experience, this is it. (If you can't handle steps, this isn't for you)

Amazing!!! - This class is as authentic as you’re going to get! Rocco and Carla instantly make you feel like you’re apart of their family. The recipes are delicious and so fresh as so most of the ingredients come from their own garden. They also accommodate to every diet; from vegan to gluten free they will make sure you eat!
