The BEST thing we did in Italy - This was hands down the best thing we did in Italy. Emily reached out to us the night before to confirm meeting time and pick up. We mentioned we were walking (didn’t realize it was literally 2,000 steps) and she quickly helped us with a bus route and getting there without walking. Once we arrived, Genny greeted us at the train station and we walked about 5 minutes to their beautiful family home. The home overlooks the water and is simply magical. We made tiramisu, ravioli, and tagliatele, while sipping espresso and then bubbly. While the cooking part was fun, and the main reason we signed up, we ended up falling in love with this family and their stories. We learned so much about the history of the town, how they survived Covid, the legends of the area (including the islands), their family history, how they grow their food, how they shop for their food, what things go into their food, and so much more. Emily, Genny, and Mama, opened up their homes and hearts to us. They shared so much of themselves with us and it was easily the best thing we’ve experienced in Italy. Sure, you can do the other cooking classes on Tik tok with the singing and dancing and craziness, but it you want real, authentic, family style cooking and eating, this is the one for you. Also, the food was absolutely amazing. 💛 We love and are so thankful for Genny, Emily, and Mama. P.S. Be sure to ask about the ceramic roosters…and then go get yourself one :)

An experience like no other - Truly an authentic experience, in the hills above Positano. As the class begins you learn about the raw ingredients and importance of each, our host weaves into the class the history of the family and the grandmother, the patriarch who purchased the land for 3 euros. And so begins the class, the mother, father and brother all ensuring that everything required is ready as you become immersed in the art of preparing raviolis, tagliatelle and tiramisu. All from scratch ingredients, only the purest ingredients, cheeses made earlier in the day (never a day old). You learn how to select the purest olive oil, now I know…. I enthusiastically encourage you to experience a cooking class like none other that are available. I can share this was the highlight of our trip through the amalfi coast. Ciao Bill Brown and Laurel Davis

Great Homestyle Cooking Class - Emily, Genny and their family were very sweet and welcoming into their home. Emily shared stories of their family traditions while explaining the art of fresh pasting making. We made and ate two different types of raviolis (beef & ricotta) in a tomato sauce, tagliatelle in a lemon sauce and an individual tiramisu for each of us. Emily also served a caprese salad and a meat & cheese sampler to accompany our meal. All of the food was excellent and the ingredients were extremely fresh. I would highly recommend Emily’s cooking class to anyone visiting Positano/Montepertuso.

Best Italian dinner cooking class - We stayed in Positano for a week and among all the activities and adventures we had, this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Our family of 4, including two kids, had an amazing experience making delicious Italian dinner guided by Emily, who taught us how to make cheese and meat ravioli, spaghetti, and tiramisu. Their home grown olives and tomatoes were to die for. Don’t miss this experience!

Best experience in Positano - This was one of the best experiences we had while visiting Positano. Emily, the daughter of the home’s owner, truly taught us to cook ravioli and tiramisu from scratch. It was not a demonstration. It was a beautiful hands on event with most of the ingredients coming right out of their garden the same day. The family was lovely and so was their home. Do not miss an opportunity to experience an authentic meal in an Italian home. Wonderful!
