Dining Experience At A Local's Home In Salerno With Show Cooking

It was so special to be welcomed into a local’s home. We really enjoyed our time with Antonia. Not to mention the wine, food and dessert. We watched Antonia cook and we learned quite a bit about the delicious ingredients! We highly recommend this experience!

Wonderful experience. Carmen was a great host and we had the chance to spend a very nice day with her, Marcello and family. Beautiful home in the mountain with a view of the sea. Loved the food.

Our hostess, Carmen and her mother were very sweet and gracious. Her home was lovely. She made some dishes that were uniquely Italian that we had never had the opportunity to try. She did most of the cooking but we were involved making a gnocchi type dish. We found out that Salerno is NOT a big tourist town and unlike other cooking excursions we have done, we were surprised that we were the only two doing this excursion. Although advertised that it was in Salerno, it was actually about a 20 minute drive out of the city to get there. She offered to pick us up and drive us back for 40 euro, because taxis don’t drive out that far, so we accepted. That was fine for us, but for someone who does not have an extra $50 just for transportation this would be an unexpected expense and you might need to rethink your selection. Carmen did not speak English but used a translator app to talk with us. She was a very sweet woman and we appreciated her effort to give us a most pleasurable experience.

BEST EVER! You should not miss this, the attention to your experience is unmatched. This was literally the highlight of my 9 days in th Mediterranean.

Sylvia was both a wonderful cook and host. If you want an authentic Italian meal where you are welcomed as family into her home, this is the experience for you! Anna nicely provided translation to English. She and Sylvia were absolutely delightful.

Our time with Antonia was wonderful. She made an amazing meal and we enjoyed our time with her. She let us try some apertifs her husband made and sent us back to our ship with some Limoncello. We are now trying to recreate the turkey / peas that she made for us. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon - it was perfect being inside while it was raining outside!

What an amazing experience. Carmen and Francesca’s cooking and their home was beautiful. They were such welcoming hosts. We loved getting involved with the cooking too. This is a must-do experience for anyone visiting Salerno for an authentic food experience.

Silvia was a great host her food was incredible. She and her family were welcoming and made us feel right at home. Everything she prepared was local and fresh including the wine and cheese . She shared local food history and even sent us recipes. If you are in Salerno do not miss this experience you will truly have an Italian memory to cherish

Our Cesarine, Ludovica, was the perfect teacher for our family. From first contact she was so caring and helpful. Her and her family are warm and welcoming. Ludovica taught us to make gnocchi and we had delicious appetizers, wine, and dessert. The view from her home is amazing. Such a wonderful experience and I will definitely make gnocchi at home

Dining with Siliva was a lovely experience. Entering her spotlessly clean and welcoming home was such a great opportunity to have a first hand insight into the culture of her Salerno home and family. We loved it! So much more enjoyable than going to a restaurant. Friendly, informative, and knowledgeable about local food and cooking practices was interesting. We opted to stay in the kitchen rather than the dining room - Where else would you want to be in an Italian's home? - the food and wine was terrific and we will enjoy using her recipes when we get home. We would highly recommend this experience.

Our host was very knowledgeable. I know I can now go home and cook gnocchi. Make a lemon anchovy sauce. Create wine with peach. I understand the area and the foods that come from this place. Our host was amazing. I highly suggest you book with her.

Carmen and family were amazing hosts, the dinner was superb and everything was homemade including the wine her mother makes! Outstanding time.

We absolutely loved the experience Elena, Maurizio and Marta offered us. It was a genuine cultural experience with the most delicious food… their open mindedness, passion for family and sharing opened our eyes to more than the Italian way but to the importance of human connections. Grazie.

I spent a wonderful Evening with Elena, Maurizio and Marta! Some of the best food i ever had, and such a hearty welcoming! You could really feel the importance of family and getting together! We spent almost 3 hours of eating and talking! The time just flew by and left me with a warm feeling of the experience! Thank you again for the food and experience! I recommend everyone to meet this family! Just perfect! Best regards, Alexander

Carmen was delightful. She has a beautiful home and we felt welcomed immediately. The food was excellent and she provided explanations of its origins. Later on we met her husband who was very charming. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

It was a fun way to see Perugia and learn about some of the areas history. We enjoyed good food, good drinks, good views and good company.

The entire experience was so intimate and our dinner was better than restaurant quality. Elena and Mauricio and their daughter Marta made us feel right at home. It was the highlight of our visit to Salerno.

This was a great experience. Carmine and Marcello were such charming hosts. You can really feel how much they love to meet new people. They only take one booking a night so you will not have to share this experience with multiple groups. Don't be intimidated if your Italian is not very good. They are patient listeners and are good at communicating despite the language barriers. The food was great and the overall experience was super fun. If you use Google maps to get there be sure to let them know in advance. Google maps isn't quite accurate.

Antonia was so kind to invite us into her home. She is such a beautiful host and fabulous chef. She gave us a fantastic tour of the local market and life in Salerno. Her beautiful home was so inviting and the meal she prepared for us was so delicious! We will visit her again on our next visit to Salerno!

We had a great time meeting this Italian family in their home, cooking, learning about their family life, their cooking and food, and having some really good food and wine and dining with them. They made it easy to get to their beautiful home, and we had a wonderful and pleasant evening with them. We would recommend it to anyone that wants to spend a pleasant evening with an Italian family off the beaten path, and experience some good company and food.

This was a highlight of our trip to the Amalfi Coast! We were welcomed into Carmen’s beautiful home located outside of Salerno. Carmen’s daughter, Francesca, helped her mother serve, prepare the food and translate! All of the food was grown on the family property and expertly prepared. So light and fresh! Carmen’s grandmother’s wine, made with the grapes grown on the property, was the best wine we had on the Amalfi Coast. My husband and I highly recommend this dining experience. We learned about preparation of the delicious food, the family history and got a glimpse of the way of life for a tight knit Italian family. Thank you so much for welcoming us, Carmen and Francesca!

My wife and I have been talking about doing some sort of local dining experience or cooking class for a while, but this was the first time following through and WOW! Emilia and Gianluca showed us the best of times with great conversation and an amazing meal in their beautiful home. They were very personable, spoke great English, and obviously put in a lot of effort to be great hosts for us. After our first casual appetizers and wine on their beautiful outdoor patio table, they gave us a tour of their property and gardens. They had an extensive assortment of fruits and vegetables and an obvious passion and skill for gardening. They allowed us to pick and snack on various items throughout - Tasty! Emilia had prepared a full assortment of fresh food directly from her garden (or cheeses from a local dairy farm right down the road) and together with my wife prepared a DELICIOUS meal that was very filling and satisfying. Throughout the meal preparation and dining experience, they shared family cooking traditions and lots of information about the local and greater Italian areas. Dessert, coffee, and limoncello were the final cherry on top of the amazing dining experience. Overall, this was an experience that we will never forget. And one that we certainly do not regret - worth every penny! We couldn't of asked for a better evening with better company! Thank you Emilia and Gianluca for putting in the effort to show us a great time!

This experience was so wonderful. Antonia made us feel incredibly welcome in her home. We attended for my boyfriend’s birthday and Antonia made it extra special for him. We loved chatting, preparing food, and of course eating. The food was delicious; the best we’ve had in Italy so far! I recommend this experience! We look forward to coming back. I cannot explain how lovely this entire evening was. Thank you!!

Silvia and Angela were amazing hosts. They were very friendly and accomodating. The food was amazing and we loved all the fresh produce. You could tell how passionate Silvia is about food and cooking. They are fantastic hosts with great personalities- they made the afternoon very enjoyable.

The food was excellent and the camaraderie was very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Food was great so was watching Antonia cook healthy food choices. Both Antonia & husband were welcoming & experience was like eating at a family's home ( great house too) with excellent company, great conversations & great drinks.
