Cooking Class - Cook And Enjoy Local Dishes With Our Chef

It was our last full day in Sorrento and having seen what we wanted of the Amalfi Coast we decided to look into taking a cooking class. We found this class with Chef Silvia and it was a highlight of our trip! Our experience demonstrated the virtues of cooking with fresh and local ingredients. Unlike much of the Italian food in the states Chef Sylvia taught us preparations that tasted spectacular without things like added sugar, bread crumbs or tons of salt. Side by side with Syliva we made fresh ravioli, eggplant parm and tiramisu. I never dreamed that eggplant parm without breading could be that good! Since taking the class we have reproduced each dish at home with great results. We've brough the tiramisu for parties to rave reviews and we now source Italian eggplants and make big batches of the eggplant parm! The entire experience was enhanced by some delicious wine and limoncello! The food and the instruction were superb but what really made the whole day was Chef Sylvia and her assistant (who turned out to be a student studying in Sorrento who lived 20 minutes from us in NJ!) At the end of the day we felt like we'd spent the day learning to cook with family in Italy and if we head back to Sorrento we'll do it again!

We had a fabulous time cooking with Silvia! The booking process was simple at the front desk of the shop. In the back, the shop has a professional kitchen with everything set up as you would expect. They have various packages and menus to choose from for cooking. To whet our appetite we were greeted with Limoncello Spritz's with an explanation of how Limoncello is made as well as bruschetta and other apps. Our chef, Silvia was very warm and welcoming and a hoot as we danced and sang while we cooked! We were with two other groups of two and it seemed they could accommodate more. But the small size group made for lots of hands on practice. Each person made their own serving of simple Tiramisu, then we prepared the eggplant for eggplant parmesan in the frying oil. Next we moved on to the ravioli. Each person made the pasta dough then we rolled out the dough to make ravioli. Silvia was expert at teaching us so that it seemed so simple. Finally, we enjoyed our cooked meal with wine and hugs all around for a fun and delicious time!

The chef, Silvia, is an amazing cook and person. The class was funny, interactive and exciting. We were able to make quality Italian dishes that we could savor in the end. It created unforgettable memories. Apart from Silvia, the whole team at Campaniadamare was extremely cheerful and charming. They were very helpful with booking the booking class and assisting with shopping at their amazing store afterwards.

Silvia was amazing! We had the best time cooking, learning and laughing!! Would highly recommend!!

We took the pizza making class. Silvia was fantastic and we had an excellent time and experience. Would definitely take this class again and recommend it to all.

We had an amazing experience and our chef Silvia was not only fun, but informative and very helpful! We would highly recommend to our friends traveling to Sorrento to take her cooking class. !!🍷💜🇺🇸

My friend and I stumbled across this class and I’m so glad we did because we had the best time with Chef Silvia! Silvia was very engaging and brought a lot of knowledge and energy to the class. The food was amazing, and i’m prepared to make my own pasta and eggplant dishes at home now. We loved every minute of our time with Silvia and will definitely do another class next time we’re in Sorrento! I highly recommend this class!

Sylvia was lots of fun and amazing. We had a great time. Met some really nice people. we made some amazing dishes.

This was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish — we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sorrento. From the moment we arrived, everything was so welcoming and well organised. We were greeted with delicious appetisers and a refreshing limoncello spritz to start, which immediately set the tone for the experience. The cooking class itself was fantastic — really fun, relaxed, and light-hearted while still being informative and hands-on. We made some incredible food and were looked after throughout, with water provided during the class as well. One of the best parts was getting to sit down afterwards and enjoy everything we had cooked, alongside wine and water. Being able to enjoy all three courses that we had prepared ourselves made the whole experience feel even more special. As a lovely finishing touch, we were even presented with certificates at the end, which was a really nice keepsake from the day. Afterwards, we were treated to a limoncello tasting and given 10% off purchases in the shop, which rounded off the experience perfectly. This is such a brilliant activity whether you’re visiting as a couple, with family, or as a group of friends. It was fun, memorable, and absolutely worth doing.

Fabulous experience. Sylvia was wonderful, funny and very informative. Cannot wait to put into practice what I have learnt.

Silvia was an amazing host, very insightful about the local area and foods, explains everything very well, we made gnocchi, eggplant Parmigiana, and tiramisu which were all amazing and very tasty

This was the most amazing experience! Sylvia was amazing teacher and so fun! Definitely a must do in Sorrento! Great with kids! Food we cooked with her was amazing! And so was the limoncello!

Silvia is the best! Her class was perfect and the food was excellent! Our family was engaged and enjoyed making the Italian dishes!

Silvia and Tereza were great teachers and made it really fun. Silvia is passionate and simplifies the process for those who aren’t natural cooks. What a wonderful experience!!!

Silvia was wonderful. We somehow lucked out and we were the only ones in this class, it is the off season and she was great, friendly, helpful, and fun. I can highly recommend this for everyone that comes into this area. It was a good memory for us.

Sylvia was fantastic, we had such a great experience. The food was delicious, best pasta we’ve had so far! Sylvia was very entertaining and a wonderful host. Highly recommend taking her cooking class!

The host to our house booked us a cooking class so I wasn’t sure what to expect since I didn’t research and book myself like I normally do. When we arrived we were greeted with appetizers and a wonderful lemon spritz made with their very own limoncello. After settling in, our chef Sylvia guided us in making tiramisu, eggplant Parmesan and gnocchi. Sylvia was such a warm, delightful woman. She was so funny and told us stories instantly making us feel like we were part of her family, I wish. It was easy to follow along and our lunch was delicious. There was no pressure to make other purchases, the entire store was very nice and inviting. Sylvia must have made quite an impression on my college age son because upon returning home in the USA he promptly went to the store and purchased the ingredients to make his girlfriend the exact same meal. Now it will be my turn to recreate our meal. I hope I can achieve what he did. We would love to return.

My husband and I found Silvia's cooking school on Viator at the last minute as the class we had booked before coming to Rome was canceled at short notice. We really enjoyed Silvia's humorous approach and all her tips on cooking, especially the ones on ravioli. We also made zuchinni parmigiana and tiramisu. We highly recommend Silvia's Cooking School

We loved this little shop, the cooking class and Chef Sylvia so much! We just happened into the storefront, and when I wandered into the back and saw the kitchen, I knew immediately we were doing this cooking class. We signed up and came back for dinner. It was such a great time. Sylvia is equal parts chef and entertainer. We got three hours of entertainment that included the meal, drinks and fellowship. There were nine of us in the class. Everyone was super enthusiastic about it, and we really enjoyed getting to know everyone a little bit. Highly recommended and totally worth it if you are looking for an experience.

Sylvia made the cooking experience wonderful. The recipes were delicious and simple to make. She explained step by step, showed me the proper techniques and gave me the hands on experience. I highly recommend.

Chef Silvia Cello is awesome. Extremely friendly, so much that I felt like I have know her all my life. Cooking class was perfect, and classmates were all friendly and like us, really enjoyed the experience. I would do this again if I come back. Silvia made it fun and even if you don’t cook, you will enjoy her and she will make your experience well worth it. Thank you Silvia!!!

Sylvia was incredible! She was so engaging and taught me so many things. On a good day I can burn toast really well, but even I managed to make ravioli, eggplant parmagiano and tiramisu. All credit to her! Would highly recommend this to anybody.

Chef Sylvia is the BEST ! Her laughter, stories and cooking lessons were a true delight and oh so YUMMY! Starting with a small appetizer, we made Tiramisu, gnocchi and eggplant Parmesan. Add limoncello, wine and a small liquor tasting at the end. DELICIOUS! We already know when we come back we are taking another lesson!

Chef Sylvia was amazing!!! I did this class with my parents and we all said it was the highlight of our trip. Not only was the food amazing, but Sylvia was the best instructor/person ever. She balanced us doing the work with her doing the difficult/tedious parts perfectly and was super enthusiastic the whole time. Everyone should take this class!! We will always remember Chef Sylvia forever and are so grateful we chose her class. :)

Chef Sylvia was an absolute delight! We so enjoyed our cooking class with her. We learned a lot, had so much fun and ate delicious food that we prepared under her expert tutelage. I am happy to highly recommend this class.

Me and my girlfriend looked around sorento for a cooking class before stumbling across this one. We had such a fun time and were with other couples from Australia as well. We have since cooked for our family and friends with the very same recipie Silvia taught us. A great experience and an amazing memory. Would recommend
