Shared City Tours

Learn the art of Italian cooking in an authentic lemon garden.
The Neapolitan tradition favors simple and delicious dishes. Ones that have been passed on from generation to generation. Now, we welcome guests into our home in Sorrento to learn the true art of Southern Italian cooking.
Our garden and citrus groves are the true definition of farm-to-table or what we call in Italy, kilometer zero. We use only the ingredients grown on-site to prepare the recipes from our family and the region of Campania. Our goal is to teach you these traditional dishes that you can easily prepare and share with your friends and family back home.
The cooking class is not only a memorable way to learn the art of handmade pasta, but it is also an authentic local food journey. First, taste the typical season produce and products made from our garden. Learn to make (and then, of course, taste) the culinary specialties of the Sorrento Peninsula.
The day begins when we open the door to our private home to you! We will greet you under the shade of our lemon trees with a welcome drink and bruschetta topped with olive oil from our very own groves. Next, we will begin our walk through the picturesque grounds. Here you can pick from the produce in our garden to use during your cooking class. While the local specialties change with the season, they can include Sorrento tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, pumpkins, green peppers, figs, cherries, apricots, and more. 
You will then head to the cooking area, where the chef will begin teaching you how to prepare a traditional handmade pasta and a sauce made from the seasonable vegetables you picked from the garden. Following the preparation of your first course, you will enjoy a dessert. After preparing the meal, you can relax under the citrus tree to enjoy the fruits of your labor with local wine and our homemade limoncello.
