Andrea Banfi about Cooking Class in BandB Bella Sorrento - Wonerdful program with excellent teachers!Th is program is well organised, and very useful for everybody who want to take part and see in more authentic italian foods preparing. I enjoy every minutes of course. Two professional chef-teacher tought us during 3 hours. We not only prepared and eat more fine meals (4 dishes) but we felt a small touch of italian flair as well.

Wonderful cooking class - It was amazing. Maria was a great chef and teacher. Much better items to prepare (and eat!) than a lot of the other options. Made calzones, eggplant Parmesan, meatballs, ravioli and a no flour chocolate torte. Great location and can't think of a thing to improve. Would not only do it again but would stay at their B & B.

Prepared and ate a four-course meal! - Highly recommend! Booked this class during a rainy spell in Sorrento. Was a little surprised to hear we would cook (and eat!) a four course meal during our class, and we did!! Beautiful 800+ years old villa and spacious modern cooking kitchen. We each had our own station. Took the mystery out of making pasta! We made calzone, chips, ravioli, eggplant Parmesan, meatballs and chocolate almond cake. Everything was delicious, fresh and surprisingly simple. Chef Raffaella shared a dozen tips and ensured each of us chefs took a turn to perform a technique she demonstrated. Very friendly. We shared a couple of bottles of good red wine while cooking and eating (included) and started with a lovely Mimosa and ended with Limoncello. We had a lovely time. Looking forward to getting the recipes, also included.

Balance between fun and actual learning - This experience was a highlight of our trip - it was a perfect balance of fun and real learning! My favorite part was learning to actually make pasta from scratch. I can’t recommend this enough!

An experience not to be missed. - I read many good reviews of Bella Sorrento Cooking Academy before booking our class, and I was very happy with my choice. The rest of my party was a bit skeptical when I suggested that we attend a cooking class while visiting Sorrento, but after the class, everyone agreed that it was one of the highlights of our trip to southern Italy. The kitchen and dining facilities just oozed old Italian charm, and we were treated like special guests from the moment we entered the building. It was a delight working with our chef, Marisa, who is not only a very talented chef, but was joyfully entertaining throughout the class. She made the whole experience memorable, even for those in our party who don't typically enjoy cooking. The three-hour class went by in the blink of an eye, and I can honestly say that it was among the best food we ate during our visit to Sorrento.

Great Time Cooking With Friends - Rafaela was a wonderful chef showing us how to cook true Neapolitan dishes in an amazingly beautiful kitchen. Loved the space and how beautifully Rita, the owner, restored and enhanced the kitchen are for cooking classes. The dishes Rafaela prepared were very simple to repair with clean, healthy ingredients. We are all looking forward to making the many recipes back in the states. Was a fun time with friends.
