Felt like a local, ate well! - My son and I had no idea what to expect when Luigi picked us up from our hotel and took us up the hillside! The outdoor kitchen and family estate/Air BNB is a very welcoming place. Anne Marie, in the photos, told us we would be making 3 dishes and a dessert! I believe she harvested most of the ingredients from her garden before we arrived. The rest was from nearby neighbors, even the wine, yum! Anne Marie was patient with us, guiding us through the tasks, from cleaning, cutting, mixing, cooking and making 2 kinds of pasta. My favorite of the 3 dishes was the eggplant, who knew I could like it so much. There was also a chicken dish with the noodles we made and the Ravioli. The sauce we made went on 2 dishes. My son and I would both highly recommend this excursion. You will feel like family by the time Luigi takes you home, stuffed!

Absolutely AMAZING!! - This was the most beautiful setting for an amazing experience and the highlight of our trip to Sorrento! 10 stars! This class is set on a villa overlooking the Sorrento. We picked fresh herbs for our meal. They make their own olive oil and limoncello and rent rooms. I wish I could have stayed here. Laura was so kind, generous and gracious. We made a 5 course meal including pizza, two kinds of pasta, bracciole, limoncello tiramisu and wine. We left with a book of our recipes and some that she added for us.

Relaxing cooking class on a beautiful farm - The family at Villa Pane provided a relaxed evening on their beautiful farm. We enjoyed learning Giovanni’s cooking techniques and the aspects of their organic farm. It was fun watching my daughter make the gnocchi dough. The meal was very good and sitting outside watching the sunset was special.

Fun evening with great food and laughter - Highlight of Sorrento. My kids loved this cooking class. We enjoyed the narrow roads to the Villa, Guido, the farm tour and Anne Marie’s cooking lessons and hospitality. A wonderful evening. The food was delicious too! Definitely something to do when in Sorrento!

Delicious dinner in the hills - It was a beautiful evening in the hills above Sorrento with Ana Maria, Luigi, Luigi, and of course Guido. The walk around the farm was very interesting and I loved picking herbs for our dinner. Learning to make the antipasti, dinner, and dessert was fun. The portions were very generous too. I bought some of the lemon marmalade and I can’t wait to have it at home.

Cooking with Anna Marie and Luigi - We had a great experience with Anna Marie, Luigi, and their family. We learned about how they operate their farm and information on local produce. We then cooked a delicious dinner, which we enjoyed with some nice wine while watching a beautiful sunset.

Great fun and great food - We had such a wonderful time. The family was so welcoming and entertaining. Not only did we have fun and get to eat some great food, we picked up some very helpful cooking tips. Just a wonderful experience (and the sweet golden retriever Guido was the icing on the cake :) )
