Aaaaamzing!!! Felt like family!! - AMAZING!!! Emily and her family were so welcoming to us, it felt like we were family by the time evening was over! We made the most delicious gnocchi, tiramisu, meatballs, veggies, caprese, and toasted with home made lemoncello. Everything was fresh from her garden and from locals. BOOK THIS! It was super special!!!

A truly memorable experience - Everything was meticulously planned from start to finish. Emily and family were wonderfully warm and welcoming and it was such an honour to share in the secrets of family recipes passed on from her Grandmother.

The most amazing experience! - This was an amazing experience. From the text before we got there, to the in home experience. Emily and her family opened their home to us, gave us an amazing experience and shared their family recipes. Even with a follow up email of exact recipes! I am forever grateful for the memory! I would recommend for everyone!

Do this! - Emily and her family created an amazing experience for us that we are still talking about! She was very engaging, funny and quite a good cook as well. The tagliatelle with lemon was one of the greatest dishes I’ve ever tasted. She also helped arrange a transport for us back to Positano. Do this class!!!!

Absolutely marvelous!! - This is the perfect way to start your Italian adventure!! Emily, Gennaro and their parents are absolutely beautiful people with big hearts, lots of patience and a passion for not only local food but their heritage and their future.

In home cooking class- best ever pasta making and so much more - First time to the Amalfi coast, did quite a few wonderful things and had a great time. However, this cooking class was the best part of our trip. Emily, Genny and the entire family were warm, charming and inviting. The information was abundant and interesting and the food was the best we have had anywhere- fresh, tasty, plentiful - and we prepared most of it. Drinks were also great and the home and surrounding area was beautiful. Emily communicated well to make it easy to get there and was a very bubbly host The family did not rush the preparation or the dining and everyone had a fantastic time, leaving with increased appreciation for the area’s food. I cannot say enough good things about the day

Incredible experience! - Best experience of Italy. Genny and Emily and mama Angelo were so hospitable. The food was the best we had tasted in Italy and we took with us core memories to share forever. Incredible! It was a taste of local life and cooking with fresh garden ingredients. Would do this again and again. Best 3 hours of the entire trip.

Like cooking with family -truly!!!!!!! - First, Emily and her entire family were warm and as welcome as you could ask for. The made us feel welcome from the start. Learning how to make pasta and tiramisu was both fun and helpful. We laughed and had a great time. We also learned a lot about her family and life experiences of several generations. We also made two new friends from the Netherlands. We HIGHLY recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn about cooking and having a wonderful time.

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 :)
