Penisola Experience – A Perfect Birthday Celebration! - We had the absolute pleasure of attending the cooking class at Penisola Experience in Sorrento in September 2024 to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday, and it was nothing short of magical! From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded all expectations. We learned how to prepare several traditional Italian dishes, from fresh gnocchi pasta to eggplant parmiggiana, to tiramisu, all using the freshest local ingredients. Every bite was bursting with flavor, and we couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was! The highlight was definitely the homemade limoncello and the homemade wine we drank, which perfectly capped off the meal. But beyond the food, what made this experience truly special was the personal touch. The team knew it was my mom's birthday and Christiano was the best, and they made the day unforgettable by going out of their way to celebrate her. It felt like we were surrounded by friends rather than just attending a class. If you're in Sorrento and love food, this is a must-do. It's more than just cooking; it’s an immersive cultural experience filled with warmth, laughter, and incredible flavors. I can’t recommend Penisola Experience highly enough!

So fun! Would do again 👌🏽 - Love this cooking class! As a solo traveller I met some cool people and we ended up going to their pasta factory for dinner later which was also amazing 🤌🏽. Would highly recommend doing in Sorrento.

Fantastic Cooking Class Experience - Cristiano and family made us feel so welcome in their beautiful home, showing us dishes they make but also showing us the best time. They're hilarious, great teachers, and should be the model of an experience out of Sorento. I'd recommend this to any person x100

Cooking on the Sorrento hillside - The location, the hosts, the view, the experience, the food, the wine, the lemoncello, the other patrons....it all was an incredible experience. We are so happy we got up early to enjoy this moment.

Best excursion of our honeymoon - Cannot say enough how much Christiano and his mother made us feel at home. They were great personalities and the class was the perfect amount of cooking and fun. No matter if the class is in their home or at their great new Sorrento restaurant. They will make it a great experience!
