Authentic cooking experience in heart of Praiano
linda_d, Mar 2023
Highly recommended for a private, authentic and lovely cooking experience with a local family- husband and wife duo in a warm, beautiful setting.
Mislead and ignored by Viator. Didn’t attend event
Tracy_M, Nov 2022
This review is simply about Viator and not the pasta class itself. I can’t even comment about the pasta class since i didn’t even attend it. My husband and I are on our honeymoon and only had 2 days in positano. When I first booked the class, it said in the even title that the class is in positano and the “meeting point” is a 4 mins walk from my hotel. We were super excited and thought it was super convenient that the meeting location was so closed to us. After it was booked, there was a questionaire to fill out and then I was told that an email about which host we will be learning from and their address will be sent. I waited for the email and nothing came through. And since there was an assigned meeting place on the app, I simply thought that’s where we re meeting. Otherwise why would you put that as the meeting point? The day of the class, it was schedule for 10am. I messaged Viator in the morning to confirm that I am going to meet the host at the meeting point. I made my way to the meeting point and there were no one there to meet us. I received a message 15 mins before the start of the class that we were supposed to meet at the host’s house which is a 30 mins drive from my hotel. I called the host to double-check that this is correct. The host told me that Viator is the one who assigned them clients and that they are actually in praiano not positano. First of all, that’s already misleading when your event title obviously said in positano, not some other town. The host told me that it would simply be too late even if I get a taxi and head over now. Going back to the agent who I was talking to about the address and where to meet. She claimed that an email with the host address was sent to me at 6pm the night before. Obviously no email have came through or else why would I bother messaging them in the morning and calling the host last minute. I also doublecheck with the agent about my email address and they claimed they sent it to the correct one. THERE WAS NOTHING! I told the agent that I received and she simply put me on read and left it at that.
So yes, the title of this even is misleading. Their “meeting point” is not real. Their hosts are not in positano. And the agents of Viator will ignore you. They wasted my day in positano and basically messed up my honeymoon.
Must do experience

We spent our time at Casa Angela it was so memorable I can’t even begin o describe it. The home was at the top of Positano with amazing views. The family has been there for ages and started with the great grandmother who raised cows on the property which over the years has grown to include the whole family. Emily the granddaughter was the one who ran the show with her parents. The family was lovely. We learned how to make gnocchi by had and tiramisu it was amazing and we will be making it at home. Well trying to at least. We brought our 18 year old son and he had the best time. The family that was also with us was delightful. Would say this is a must do, and a great way to see another side of this amazing place!
Amazing experience

This was such an amazing experience. The hosts were delightful and went out of their way to make this experience a memorable one. We highly recommend.
Amazing day of cooking!
Melinda_K, Jun 2022
This was the MOST fun we had! This beautiful family opened their home to us and taught us to make homemade gnocchi, tomato sauce, and tiramisu. The food was perfecto! There was plenty of wine, new-found friends, and gorgeous views!
An Original Experience that cannot be repeated!
Mike_S, Jun 2022
Emily and her Mama welcomed us into their home. They graciously treated us like family and shared the family recipes and techniques for making a memorable meal. We will be able to take this experience back home with us and use it to make authentic Italian dishes. All the ingredients were fresh and many picked straight from the family garden! I do not think I will ever be able to have gnocchi from a restaurant again now that I know the REAL way to make it.
We will never be able to thank Emily and Mama enough for their hospitality and generosity. We have the know how to now make an authentic meal.
Thank You!
MUST BOOK!

This experience was absolutely amazing. Emily and her family are so kind and welcoming and the food was INCREDIBLE. I’d recommend this to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast. I’ll be coming back.
Amazing Experience!!!
Wendy_G, May 2022
Meeting Emily and her family and cooking in their home was such an incredible experience! Their hospitality was bar none exceptional! Their garden is to die for. The food was delicious. They make a gourmet meal seem like a walk in the park.
Amazing experience!
Maureen_S, May 2022
Words cannot express how special our evening was cooking with Emily and her family! We feel like members of her family and the food was the best we have had in all of Italy! Almost everything is from their garden. Don't miss this opportunity to experience Italy!
Cooking Class of a Lifetime!
Malina_A, Apr 2022
Just wow. This experience was truly wonderful. My mom and I traveled up to the small village of Montepertuso where we were greeted by the sweetest Italian family. We learned to cook delicious pasta and tiramisu with ingredients fresh from their garden. We sat and enjoyed our meals with the most picturesque views of Positano. We are so grateful for this family who welcomed us into their beautiful home and emersed us in authentic Italian culture. This by far was our favorite thing we've done during our stay in Italy. An experience we will cherish forever! Definitely recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Positano!
