Personal touch with delicious pizza - We had a wonderful time. Mario and Gennard looked after us very well. The experience began with a Prosecco on the balcony and then we progressed to learning the craft of pizza making which was very fun. The boys served up a little ‘snack’ which was very generous and filling before we progressed to stretching out the dough and adding toppings. The boys let us place the pizza in the oven, and to our surprise we did not drop or burn them. We enjoyed the fruits of our labor on the balcony with a bottle of wine. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of pizza and Italian culture on this experience. Gennard also served us up dessert pizza with Nutella to round out the experience before the lovely Francesca drove us back to our hotel. Such a great experience so close to Sorrento!

Gastronomic experience - Amazing experience we spent the whole day and felt like family. We started with a tour of the beautiful garden with olive and lemon trees. So much history of this 3rd generation production. Olive oil tasting, Mozzarella making lesson. Pizza making lesson. Lemonchello tasting. It was a full day of laughs and warmth. I would highly recommend. Pricing was affordable.

Stunning Sorrento, happy bellies and endless laughs :) - The pizza making experience at the Sorrento Pizza School was fantastic! It was interactive, hands-on, and incredibly fun. Despite using the simplest ingredients, the turnout was delicious. The antipasti and pizzas were complemented perfectly by the selection of delicious local wines. The guides, especially the pizzaiolo, were charming hosts, making this experience one of the highlights of our trip. Also had the pleasure of tasting some beautiful olive oils - delicious!

Pizza Making at Gargiulo Property - My wife and I are visiting from Vancouver, Canada. Today my wife and I did a pizza making class at this venue and it was excellent. Claudio was our instructor, who we now refer to as the Minister of Pizza! He is a patient, fun and clearly very knowledgeable and intelligent teacher who knows how to deal and handle all of his students. He has family lineage in the culinary arts and his passion, care and love for making pizza shows in his classes. The Gargiulo property clearly is doing something right in the region as the Minister of Agriculture visited the property while we were in the middle of our class. We enjoyed the class, the instruction and the food was delicious. We were able to eat the food we cooked, take back new cooking techniques home which we hope to implement at home and have this memory for a lifetime which we hope to share with our family and friends in Canada. We also were able to try olive oil which was cultivated on the property and we ordered a shipment to arrive when we return back home. Thank you Garguilo and thank you Claudio!

Pizza school experience a must do in Sorrento - We had pizza cooking lessons with the amazing Claudio at Gargiulo. We have done pizza lessons before in Italy but this was by far the best. Fantastic surroundings, everything looked brand new, great ingredients and and a teacher that taught us so much. Claudia made pumpkin pizza with a cheesy stuffed crust first, which was so tasty. We then made our own with his supervision. We both really enjoyed our time in the kitchen. We then got to eat our own pizza accompanied by some superb wines. Not to mention the lemon delight dessert.... I would totally recommend this experience as a great way to spend a few hours. If in Sorrento, book a session in the pizza kitchen with Claudio, you will not regret it.
