Meet Ferdinando and his family in Pianillo, high above the Amalfi Coast, for a three-hour class making fresh mozzarella, handmade pasta, and tiramisu. You will cook with garden produce, share wine and the finished meal, and enjoy a warm home-style setting. Plan carefully for the long bus ride from Positano.

“Once in a lifetime experience working with Ferndinando! Immaculate vibes with music playing in the background while we made the pasta, mozzarella, and tiramisu. The environment created facilitated making quick friends with our fellow learners. He is a great teacher, sharing not only the secrets behind the amazing food in the Amalfi coast but also the history behind it. Each bite of the food felt like we were tasting a different delicious part of Italy. The local wine he shared was so good, we even bought a few bottles to take with us on the road. We are recommending this place to all of our friends.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 191 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $181

Join Emily and her family at their Positano home for a 3.5-hour cooking experience built around handmade gnocchi and tiramisù.

“This was an incredible, local experience in Positano! Emily and her family were so kind and welcoming. Being able to prepare both tiramisu and gnocchi was so fun, and being able to dine outside on the family’s beautiful patio was a great way to end class. Emily was also so helpful in coordinating taxi pickups / drop offs for the couples as their home can be a little tricky to get to via public transportation. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Positano!”
