We had a great time with Veronica cooking pizza and focaccia at her cooking studio in Tuscany. Ciao Laura arranged for Veronica to pick us up and drop us off in Florence, so we didn't have to arrange our own transportation (we wanted to avoid driving in Italy). Veronica is very passionate about cooking and shares her enthusiasm with her... More

I literally booked the day before with Ciao Laura and it ended up being the highlight of our trip! Our daughter had been studying abroad in Rome and we all took a trip to the Amalfi Coast for a few days. I decided to surprise my daughter with a cooking class and contacted Ciao Laura. She responded immediately and offered... More

I had heard that some reviews were removed from Ciao Laura, which is unfortunate. Definitely wanted to take the time to add our review. My husband and I are foodies, I love to cook and we always love to eat well when we travel. We've traveled extensively through Italy, but this was our first time in the Amalfi Coast. Being... More

My husband was not in favor of booking a cooking class for our family. I did it anyways, and he is a changed man! He, I and our four boys (17, 14, 12 and 9) had an amazing experience in the Farm to Fork class for families. Laura was wonderful to work with in terms of finding the right class... More

It was our good fortune to find Ciao Laura online as we were looking for a cooking class. I told her what we were looking for and she suggested a day at Villa Ida in Sorrento. We were available on the day they were celebrating what is called Vendemmia, the day to harvest the grapes. That day was the highlight... More

(I heard that reviews had been removed here recently. So when I checked mine and noticed it was missing, I felt I had to try and re-post what I could remember from Sept 2012.) We had read the reviews for Ciao Laura and I liked that she did very personalized tours. I really didn't know what I wanted specifically so... More

Three of us ladies from the western US took the evening cooking course from Ciao Laura in Sorrento in Sept. 2011. The first thing I remember is how much our faces hurt from laughing so much during the evening! I also still vividly remember the warm and welcoming feeling we had while we at the cooking class. The hosts were... More

What a fabulous trip Laura put together for our anniversary. We'll have unforgettable memories of the fantastic sights & tastes of Sorrento. The itinerary was perfectly designed to have us just active enough yet completely relaxed & unhurried. The professional team of drivers really tied together all the activities, whisking us through the tricky traffic while engaging us in friendly... More
