Friends recommended the Spaghetti Experience and I am so glad they did! What a wonderful time we had with Emily, her Mom Angela and her family. This was a real highlight of our trip to meet and cook with this beautiful family in their home. Not to be missed

Incredible cooking experience

Allie_Z, Oct 2022

Highlight of our trip. The class was so authentic and well done - Emily was delightful and we learned so much about her, her family, Positano, and southern Italian cuisine. Highly recommend this to anyone in the Positano area!

Fabulous, Delicious, Fun.

Emily and her family were simply delightful! What a wonderful experience and delicious meal. We started with making our own Tiramisu followed by delicious pasta in 2 different sauces - DELICIOSO! This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. I would recommend it highly to anyone who loves good company, good food and good wine.

Amazing & authentic experience! Must do!

Emily and her family were warm & welcoming! The experience of making spaghetti & tiramisu from scratch was incredible. They also provided us with fresh fruit & veggies picked straight from their own garden. Even their olive oil was homemade. The location was also beautiful & the food was absolutely delicious! If you want to have an authentic experience, definitely book this cooking class. It was one of the best experiences we had in Italy. Emily was also incredibly kind, and waited with us at the bus stop until our ride arrived. 10/10 recommended for everyone!

Spaghetti Experience

Michael_S, Aug 2022

Emily and her family were great hosts and taught us how to make our own pasta noodles, and tiramisu. They opened up their beautiful home to us and we got to see where they grow most of their own ingredients. I highly recommend booking this pasta and tiramisu cooking experience.

The best pasta ever !!!

An amazing opportunity to feel like a member of Emily’s family! Fun, delicious, and a forever memory!!

Such a unique experience!

This was such a unique experience! Emily contacted us before our tour and helped coordinate transportation for us, and her brother met us at the drop off point and walked us to the house. We were greeted with prosecco for the adults and lemon soda for the kids, along with salami, cheese and other snacks. Angela doesn't speak English, but is an amazing cook. Emily explained everything and shared family history and recipes, all while showing us how to make tiramisu and pasta from scratch. Everyone had a turn at making pasta, and Emily was especially great with my daughter who has Down syndrome. The food was delicious (as was the wine and homemade limoncello), the views were amazing, and the family was delightful. We had three teenagers with us and they all had a great time and said it was one of their favorite nights of the trip. You may get more hands-on experience at a local restaurant's cooking class (chances to chop, cook, etc.), but this was an incredible opportunity to be in a true Italian family home and be immersed in their traditions.

Wonderful experience

The highlight of our trip

The family was warm and welcoming and made us feel like friends the minute we arrived in their home . Don’t miss this tour , it’s an unforgettable experience. The meal was outstanding, equivalent to a Michelin star restaurant

Garden to Table Cooking in authentic Italian Farm Home

Amy_L, Oct 2021

This was the best night of our Italy trip. We were welcomed into a family home, over 200 years old. We were taught how to make tiramisu, pizza, lemon spaghetti, gnocchi & stuffed zucchini flowers. Every ingredient came from their garden. They pressed their own olives to make the olive oil, made their own wine from their grapes, we used their hen’s eggs and all of the vegetables were home grown. We were involved every step of the way, and the food we made was insanely delicious!! We all left stuffed!!! I highly recommend this experience.

Once in a lifetime experience

ArashJamali, Oct 2021

Angela and her family were amazing hosts. They made us feel like a part of their family. The food, the views, the experience was one of a kind. Such a warm and loving family to be around. The food was fantastic, multiple courses with dessert. Will definitely come again!

Well worth it
