The class starts with a visit to the vegetable garden and collection of products (depending on seasonality). You will be offered a welcome drink and canapes.

Bella Sorrento Cooking Academy

The cooking class at Bella Sorrento is definitely worth it! We cooked calzones, meatballs, eggplant parmesan, ravoli and a chocolate cake. Gennaro and Sarah were great teachers! The space was large ans easy to work in, and beautifully decorated. It was such a fun evening for all the participants. We highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience! It...

Fantastic experience! It was nice to have breaks between cooking courses. They also made it a good environment to meet other people. The food was deliciously made with garden fresh ingredients. We learned a lot of skills passed down from the family from the attentive chefs.

An Amazing Experience in Sorrento!

An Amazing Experience in Sorrento! Bella Sorrento Cooking School was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Italy! The morning of our class, Sorrento was dealing with a major water outage, and all of the town was without running water. Despite something completely beyond their control, the team at Bella Sorrento handled everything amazingly. They quickly made sure they had plenty of bottled water so our private class could still go on as planned. We were so grateful! From the moment we ar...read more

Lovely experience!!!!!

We had a wonderful cooking class with Sara and Genarrio (sorry if misspelled!) Upon arriving, they immediately made us feel welcomed into their kitchen. Their garden is absolutely beautiful and we used all ingredients directly from it to cook! We ended up making calzones, eggplant parmesan (the best we had all trip!), raviolis, meatballs, fish, and a delicious chocolate orange cake. All the food was fantastic but the experience was even better. We had the best time with them, they even seemed to...read more

Cooking Class - Wonderful and Unforgettable Experience

My daughter and I had such a wonderful experience at this cooking class! It was so much more than just learning a few recipes—it felt like being welcomed into an Italian family's kitchen. We prepared several traditional Italian dishes using authentic family recipes that have been passed down through generations, and you could really taste the love and history behind every dish. The instructors were warm, patient, and passionate about sharing not only the techniques but also the stories behind t...read more
