Taste the soul of Southern Italy in the most immersive way possible—with your hands in the dough and the scent of fresh tomatoes, basil, and espresso filling the air. This Authentic Cooking Class in Sorrento is the perfect culinary experience for food lovers, families, couples, and groups looking to dive into the heart of traditional Italian cuisine. In this fun and interactive 4-hour experience, you’ll learn how to prepare two of Italy’s most beloved dishes: handmade Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, a comforting local favorite baked with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella, and the timeless Tiramisù, layered with velvety mascarpone and espresso-soaked biscuits. Guided by passionate local chefs, you'll discover the secrets behind these recipes passed down through generations. Set in a welcoming Sorrentine kitchen or countryside farmhouse, this hands-on cooking class isn’t just about food—it’s about connection, culture, and authentic flavors. At the end of the class, sit down to enjoy your creations with local wine, and take home an official Italian Cooking Experience Certificate to remember your time in Sorrento.

The setting was gorgeous and the staff was welcoming and fun and taught us so much! We highly recommend this and would like to return to stay here!"

"we attended the Casale del Nonno cooking class in sorrento and from the start Francesca and Frescesco were amazing and very welcoming. We did this class as a suprise for my son's birthday and it was an amazing bonding experience for me and my entire family. They went above and beyond with baking a delicious birthday cake. As an Italian American family Chef Antonio gave us great tips for making some of our favorite meals and we can not wait to make these meals when we get home. Making food, drinking wine and viewing a beautiful mountain side is exactly what I pictured when I booked my trip to Italy"

"In the most beautiful mountain/ sea view setting our family was warmly welcomed into this amazing family run farm. The staff was beyond friendly and made everyone of us feel like we were part of the family as the Chef guided us through an authentic Italian cooking experience. Everyone in our group from 10 years old to 73 had an wonderful time and was able to dive into this culinary adventure. The food, wine, limoncello, view, staff and atmosphere were 5 stars! Highly recommend this cooking class to all! "

"An unforgettable experience filled with the scents, flavors, and colors of the Sorrento hills! A heartfelt thank you to the amazing team at Sorrento Vibes for recommending this wonderful cooking school set on a beautiful farm overlooking Sorrento. Our day began with a peaceful walk through the garden and vegetable patch, where we learned about the fresh ingredients we would later use in our cooking. We also met the sweet farm animals, including three adorable donkeys that completely stole our hearts! Then, under the expert and passionate guidance of Chef Antonio and his fantastic team, we stepped into the kitchen and prepared delicious traditional dishes. The most magical moment? Enjoying the food we cooked at sunset, with a breathtaking view over Sorrento that we will never forget. A truly authentic, warm, and unforgettable experience: highly recommended!"
