- georgegL4716LL0 contributionsThe Highlight of Sorrento! Amazing cooking experience!Chef Carmen is an absolute gem! She was so kind funny and a wonderful host and chef! Me and my 6 friends were coming to Sorrento from Positano for just one night and she accommodated everything. Constant communication and flexibility allowed for us to have an easy transition from ferry to class then even to our Airbnb! She helped us the entire way and we really felt like she treated us like family! NOT TO MENTION THE CLASS AND FOOD WERE SOME OF THE BEST I HAD IN ITALY!! She is 100% worth the experience and would come again!Written October 12, 2024
- Trip1648020 contributionsOutstanding Dishes and an Exceptional Owner and StaffCarmen and her staff are top notch, first class culinary wizards. Our American group of 18 diners loved it so much that we went back twice! Carmen's persona, exuberance and sheer expertise make her establishment a place that you definitely want to try and love!Written October 10, 2024

- K5702NUmichellem0 contributionsExcellentWe had the best time! Carmen made it so relaxing and friendly! Her staff was great! We loved the 70’s music that was played where we sang and danced while learning Carmen’s tips on cooking! Thank you sooo much!!Written October 3, 2024
- isabellapF4839SZ0 contributionsA highlight of our trip!!We had an absolutely wonderful time with Carmen!! The cooking class was a BLAST! Carmen explains everything clearly, makes time to be 1-1 with everyone and answers all questions. The food was BEYOND delicious, and the wine & Prosecco flowing the whole time had everyone dancing. We cannot recommend this class enough for any couples or adult families staying in Sorrento or even visiting for a day!!Written October 3, 2024
- 191rochellew0 contributionsAn Unforgettable Experience!Chef Carmen is EXTREMELY vivacious and she makes learning how to cook the authentic Italian way fun with no pressure! A true testament of someone who LOVES what they do! The class was very lighthearted and even if you were nervous, that quickly melted away as you have unlimited wine of your choice poured at your workstation to help you take the edge off if you’re not exactly a social butterfly. If you happen to be a social butterfly, then you’d be in your element! My only ‘regret’ was not setting up my tripod to document how awesome it was but…gives us a reason to come back! It was a fun, engaging and informative class! “Piano-Piano!”Written September 25, 2024

Our family (3 kids -- 7, 10,12) did the pasta class and made gnocci Sorrentino and fettuccini bolognese. Carmen was incredibly patient with our children and had us all smiling and laughing as we cooked. After cooking we sat and enjoyed our meal and it was absolutely delicious! Our daughter has multiple food allergies and Chef Carmen went the extra mile to make sure that everything was safe for her. After our Italy trip all 5 of us agreed that this class was by far a top highlight! We recommend this to all!Written September 15, 2024

Chef Carmen and her family are the absolute best!!! Her approachable way of cooking and patience with the kids was remarkable and her glowing personality really made the experience one we are all still talking about.

What an experience! Chef Carmen is a delight. I've had the privledge of an in-person class in Sorrento and most recently a two hour Zoom class to celebrate a friend's birthday. The instruction was top notch, the food delicious and the experience was memorable. Chef Carmen will make anyone enjoy cooking. Her class provides a level of engagement and instructions that simply do not exist from reading a recipe or cookbook. Bon Appetit!

We had 8 couples on zoom with Carmen last Saturday and it was AMAZING! She was so patient with us and wanted each of us to “show” her the contents of our mixing bowls to determine if we were ready to move to next step. This demonstrates her ability and passion to be engaged with students even remotely. Tricks and tips will stay with me forever. Homemade ravioli, chaux pastries, and sea bass were fantastic. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of attending a group class taught via Zoom by Chef Carmen and it was the highlight of our week! Chef Carmen explained each step so thoroughly that it felt as interactive as an in-person class. I am an experienced cook and was delighted to learn some new tips and tricks. I would recommend this class to anyone, beginner or expereienced cook, who is interested in learning about authentic Italian cusine.

I have taken classes in person with Carmen in Sorrento and they are such fun. With the pandemic, she has had to move to doing her classes online via Zoom. The class we did this month was me, my husband, two of our friends, and their adult children. We made eggplant stuffed with black olives, capers, and cheese, and seafood risotto. Both were quite tasty, but the seafood risotto turned out SO GOOD! Carmen's personality shines through and she provides excellent instructions. If you're wondering if you should sign up for Zoom classes with her, just do it. You won't regret it!

I've been cooking almost every day of quarantine out of cookbooks but I've never taken a class (even in person pre-covid). I didn't know what to expect but it was such a blast. Chef Carmen was so fun, funny, and nice, but most of all patient! Sometimes people (myself included) had to start over and she totally went with the flow and made it still work for everyone. And the results were awesome. The homemade ravioli was so good I made it again tonight to keep practicing. i'd love to take another class (more pasta!) and can't recommend this more highly. Thank you Chef Carmen!!!

We had the pleasure of doing a private class with Chef Carmen in Sorrento a few years ago. When she started offering online classes, we knew we had to book a class.
8 friends gathered via Zoom to create 2 dishes. Chef Carmen made it an enjoyable and memorable two hours. Our dishes were delicious and everyone agreed we can’t wait to do it again!

Carmen's class was so much fun, and the food was delicious! Her instructions were easy to follow. She always checked in to be sure everyone was on track, and she answered so many questions along the way. Carmen is a skilled chef who is personable and charming.

I took a class from Chef Carmen in Italy almost 15 years ago! I loved it then and I loved the virtual class I just took this weekend, just as much. I arranged for a private class with 8 friends during covid. It was a great activity, while we are stuck at home, and a wonderful way to see and spend time with people you love. We all had the BEST time, and learned so much from Chef Carmen. Even though we all have different cooking experience levels, it didn't matter, we all took away invaluable lessons. I definitely recommend learning fresh pasta from her! Not to mention she is so warm and made the whole experience so fun. I highly recommend it!!

I scheduled a private Zoom cooking class with Chef Carmen for my mom's birthday. Carmen was so easy to work with and answered all of my questions quickly. My mom had traveled to Italy several years ago and took some classes with Carmen. My mom loved her then and after taking her virtual class I understand why! She is a great teacher, patient and funny. After the class she sent us the live recording of our cooking class and a few other recipes to try! I definitely recommend taking a cooking class with Chef Carmen!
