Sorrento's Tasty Garden

The class last about 3 hours. Angelo and his family own the property and run the class in their gorgeous, quiet garden setting right in Sorrento. We made Tiramisu, meatballs and homemade pasta. They provided all the Prosecco, wine, and fresh olive oil grown on their property with bread you want in addition to eating the delicious food you make. I would highly recommend for a fun lunch time activity during your visit to the Amalfi area.

We had such a wonderful time at Sorrento’s Tasty Garden cooking class! The grounds were absolutely beautiful, and Chef Angelo was waiting for us out front, which was perfect since Google Maps had taken us to the wrong location. We chose the fish menu, and everything we made was excellent—from the shrimp appetizer and pasta with vongole and small clams native to Sorrento, to the salted sea bream and tiramisu. Angelo explained the ingredients and techniques behind each dish, demonstrated everything for us, and then let us take over. We enjoyed wine, great conversation, and lots of laughs throughout the class. Afterward, we enjoyed our meal together in the beautiful garden, which made the experience even more special. Angelo was so personable and welcoming. This was truly one of our favorite experiences in Sorrento, and I highly recommend it!

Our family had an absolutely unforgettable evening at Sorrento Tasty Garden! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. The class was held in the most charming little cottage kitchen, which made the experience feel authentic and intimate. Our chef, Angelo, was fantastic—patient, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. He guided us through making homemade pasta, delicious meatballs, and the best tiramisu we’ve ever had. He made everyone feel comfortable, whether it was their first time cooking or not. After preparing everything together, we enjoyed our meal in the beautiful garden under the stars, accompanied by wonderful local wine. It was the perfect combination of incredible food, great company, and a magical setting. If you’re visiting Sorrento, this cooking class is an absolute must. It was one of the highlights of our trip and gave our family memories we’ll cherish forever. Thank you, Angelo, for such a special evening!

Wonderful class in a gorgeous setting

We had a great time with Angelo cooking up some fun food. He has a charming personality and really made sure all of us had a some laughs. He makes sure that the eggs he uses are from happy chickens!🐔. They poured some prosecco for us as we were cooking the meal and his very cute niece Donatella helped out too! I would highly recommend this activity and the location was terrific as it is set in a very nice garden

We had a fantastic experience learning authentic Italian cooking, from pasta and meatballs to tiramisu. Everything we made turned out incredibly delicious. The chef was highly experienced and made the whole evening both enjoyable and informative. Set in a beautiful location, it was a truly memorable experience.

We had a wonderful time learning how to cook the meat dish and prepare the Tiramisu. Angelo was brilliant and went through every step with us. Then we sat in the gardens and ate our dishes. Fabulous. We can't wait to try this out when we return home. Would definitely recommend for an evening to remember.

The gardens are beautiful, the kitchen is airy, Angelo is great and the meal that we prepared was wonderful. We went with one other couple whom we had not met before and it was a wonderful evening.

I would highly recommend this experience. Angelo was great and talked us through every step. I can’t wait to try at home. Would definitely recommend the fish menu it was fresh and extremely tasty. They use produce from their garden which you can buy to take home. Don’t hesitate to book you will not regret it.

Highly recommend. This was an excellent experience and a highlight of our holiday. My husband & I were welcomed warmly, joined with 2 other people and had a fantastic morning learning to make Tiramisu and Meatballs in tomato sauce with fresh pasta. Angelo ensured that we all got equal time at each stage of the process, he was clearly very skilled in his craft and his sense of humour was much appreciated. Sitting down afterwards to eat the fruit of our labours with homemade wine was a fitting end to our experience. As well as taking some time to enjoy the lovely garden, complete with hammock and swing. We were so inspired, we went into Sorrento and bought some pasta making equipment to try at home. Thank you.

Wow. What a wonderful experience. The garden was so beautiful and the food we cooked and ate was so delicious. Wish we could do it every day of our holiday!!! Thank you so much Angelo our chef and Gueseppe our host and his lovely mother x

We happened upon a beautiful garden and discovered the Sorrento Tasty Garden We were welcomed in and the people were so friendly, we booked a class for our 2 couples. Next day, we were welcomed by Chef Angelo and his cousin Giuseppe. That’s when the fun began and never stopped. Not only did Angelo do an exemplary job in teaching us the chosen dishes, he gave us all of the chemistry behind each action so that we knew WHY we were doing everything. He was so funny and included everyone at the class. His warmth shown through, even at his young age as he told us how he cooked with his nonna and therefore he discovered his love for cooking. Then we ate the food we made and had wine and topped off the meal with limoncello. I thought I knew a lot about cooking but he expended my knowledge immensely! This is clearly Angelo’s calling. It helped that we had a mother and daughter at the class who were delightful. Lucky us. Do you want an authentic Sorrento Italy experience? Go to this cooking class. You won’t regret it.

The cooking class at the Tasty Garden in the Lidia Suite was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful experiences of my stay in Sorrento. From the moment you enter the lovingly designed kitchen, you can sense the warmth and passion with which the food is cooked. Between lemon motifs, handmade ceramic plates, and the scent of fresh herbs, a journey begins that goes far beyond a typical cooking class experience. With charm and expertise, Angelo and his team guided us step by step through the preparation of three typical dishes: a delicate Parmigiana di Melanzane, homemade pasta with a rich tomato sauce à la Sorrento – and, finally, a divine Tiramisù al Limoncello, which was worth the trip alone. Every step was lovingly supervised, every technique was patiently explained, always with a smile and the typical Neapolitan joie de vivre. I was particularly impressed by the combination of professionalism and ease: We not only learned a lot, but also laughed, tasted, photographed – and enjoyed together. The fresh ingredients, the skilled craftsmanship, and the atmosphere of hospitality and enjoyment make this course a true gem. If you want to experience Sorrento with all your senses, you shouldn't miss this course. Thank you all for this special day – I will treasure it with a warm smile and the scent of fresh basil!

My daughter and I took this class and it was wonderful. I hen you step through the gate at the edge of Sorrento, it’s like entering the secret garden. Beautiful grounds and lovely family. They make their own olive oil and wine. Angelo is so cute and engaging. They responded to all my emails asking about olive oil, wine, and gave us written step by step instructions so we can make the meatballs and pasta at home. You will be missing out if you don’t take this class!

I was staying in the Chalet here & booked the evening cooking session as a solo traveller for a pastime. Lovely evening & would especially recommend for a small group of friends or like myself to join in with others. Chef Angelo offers some good tips & keeps the cooking real, simple but special. Best of all of course, you sit & eat it ! Plenty of Prosecco, wine & limoncello included. I particularly recommend this activity as it is not gimmicky tourist type event..it is more like a few friends in their kitchen making dinner, chatting & eating.
