As a tourist, I usually avoid the typical “tourist trap” experiences. This was definitely not one of them! If you truly want to learn how to make pizza like the locals, this is the place to go. The experience is led by the owner, who shares authentic techniques, local knowledge, and plenty of wine along the way. It felt genuine, personal, and incredibly welcoming. We absolutely loved every minute of it. The food was outstanding—so much delicious food that you certainly won't leave hungry! The fresh ingredients were exceptional, and being able to create your own pizza made the experience even more enjoyable. The bread alone is worth talking about—absolutely delicious. Everything was very well executed, from start to finish. Our glasses were never empty, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and the entire experience felt authentic rather than commercialized. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area who wants a true taste of local food, culture, and hospitality. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything about the class was exceptional and of the highest quality. Friendly, generous and informative! Looking forward to doing the evening one next year!
We loved our bread and pizza class. Very professional service, and the facility is immaculate and beautiful. Everything is very high quality. I do a lot of cooking at home, but the class showed me a few baking tips I was not aware of. We finished very satisfied and even left with pizza to take away for later.
We booked this class last-minute during our vacation, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip! Peter and Guiermo made the class so enjoyable, the kitchen is gorgeous, and we learned so much about Sorrento’s history and traditions. Warning: you will be stuffed full after the pizza and bread class!! 10/10 experience and would definitely book another class during our next visit to Sorrento.
Unique experience. Makes you feel good. Craftmenship brought professionaly and kindly. Extremely delicious bread and pizza. Thank you so much.
One of the best experiences we have ever had! Peter and Guiermo were simply sensational. They were warm, welcoming and educational all at the same time. They were true hosts that became family by the end of our time. I would highly recommend!
We only discovered this place on our last day but thank goodness we did and we’re so grateful Patric could fit us in. It was one of the highlights of our sorrento trip. Patric and William were so lovely and made us feel welcomed and at home right from the start. We learnt so much from these talented chefs that we will try at home and had lots of fun and giggles along the way. No more cooking pizza and bread the old way for us… just the authentic Italian way for us from now on. Absolutely loved it.
We stumbled upon this exquisite shop and saw another family inside making pizza. I immediately left a message for us to take a class. We were lucky enough to have an opening for our family. We had so much fun. We shared the experience with another family and shared great memories. The fresh mozzarella and tomatoes were out of this world!!! We ate pizza, had some cappuccino and wine, and we were so full we did not eat dinner that night. I highly recommend this.
A highlight of our holiday in Sorrento. Informative and educational, oiled with plenty of wine, it was fun and a feast of delicious bread and pizza, savoury and sweet. We left feeling excited to try the recipes at home, with plenty of chef's tips and a better understanding of authentic bread making. The intimate kitchen area is ideal, very smart, but also homely. Couldn't recommend it more highly.
What's not to like about drinking and cooking?? I had an incredible experience at L'Accademia! We found the spot during a walk through Sorrento and booked the pane and pizza experience. We made our own loaves of bread and baked them in their oven. Then, we made pizza dough, mostly just for fun, and used their proofed dough to make our pizzas. The pizzaiolo was super helpful every step of the way. If you are staying in Sorrento, I highly recommend!!
Omg!!! My family and I had the most amazing unexpected experience! Everything was amazing! Guilhermo and Patricio were extraordinary ! Such an special team! Gorgeous place! My kids had so much fun too with us! I highly recommend!
The best experience in Sorrento. Took my family for a Bread and Pizza Class and it was way beyond my expectations. The place is gorgeous, the ingredients super fresh, the class was exceptional but what was really out of this World was the way they treated us. Patricio (Patrick) and Gugliermo (the chef) were unreal, treated us like family and really made us all feel special. An incredible experience that I highly recommend, if you have the opportunity don’t miss it, you won’t regret.
We saw so many wonderful things in Italy and enjoyed the food from so many places. But this was our favorite thing. We laughed, we learned things, we had delicious food...what a wonderful experience. I would recommend L'Accademia to anyone and I would definitely go again.
We spent a week in Italy; Vatican Museum, Rome, Pompeii, Amalfi, Capri. When we are asked (and often when we aren't asked), L'Academua is what we recommend - it was the highlight of our visit. Even though there were only two of us in the class, we were blessed with such gracious, entertaining, and knowledgeable hosts - it felt like we were old friends.
An awesome experience, a lot of fun where we also learned a lot and ate deliciously. We took the course of bread and pizza. Everything was perfect. The setting was very nice and clean, as was the welcome and lessons by the chef. In the end we learned how to make bread and pizza with all the ingredients, and at the same time we could also enjoy the food (and drinks) that we prepared. Both Patrizio (contact, reception and general host) and chef Guillermo did an awesome job in making it a perfect day for us. At the end we also could take home all "leftovers", which meant multiple breads and pizzas. We would definitely do it again and can recommend it to people who like Italian food, people who like Italian food and would like to know how to make it and also to people who just like to have fun cooking in general.
Outstanding experience. The staff led by master pizzaiolo Gulielmo, assistant Lucia, and food expert Massimiliano were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. The location was spectacular and the food amazing. We have done many of these cooking classes in Italy, all of which have been excellent, but this one was top!
It was a great course where we learned a lot about making pizza that we didn't know yet. Everyone could make their own pizza with helpful tips. From the dough production to the shaping of the dough, to the individual. topping, final baking and consumption. The atmosphere was very warm and accommodating. The host went to extreme lengths to make the course a great event, which he also succeeded in our opinion. An event worth its price. We can highly recommend the course.
Unique experience. Best excursion ever in Sorrento. Peter and Guiermo are the best possible hosts to please their students, nothing is too much for them. Beautiful experience in exclusive frame. Thank you for having experienced this.
We got into a fantastic atmosphere, and to 2 service-friendly Italians. Here we got to make bread, own dough and pizza. We got to eat it. It was serving all you villa have of drinks. With us we got recipes and good introduction of corleis we would do everything. And a cook fork. Best experience to have. To get so close and learn.
Everything really perfect. From the landlord Patrick, affable, friendly nice and helpful. Al sig. William, patient, clear in explanations. Excellent products. Amazing bread. Sublime pizza. A beautiful experience that I recommend to those who are in Sorrento and want to live something different, and especially try their hand at creating bread and pizza with their own hands. In the center of Sorrento, in the characteristic alleys, full of life and colors, you can also smell the scent of bread, returning to the origins of our culture. A truly unforgettable food and wine journey
