- 828GMK3 contributionsOutstanding food, presentation and so much fun!Chef Carmen is a fantastic instructor. She and her staff presented everything to us in a very professional and fun environment. There was delicious food prepared by us (with direction of course), many laughs and lots of wine to go around. We were even given the recipes of the dishes we enjoyed. Given the opportunity we would definitely schedule another class. Grazie mille!Visited December 2022Traveled with friendsWritten November 1, 2023
- Nancy and Jerry2 contributionsChef Carmen's Class, an Italian trip's High Spot!Our group was on an Amalfi Coast trip with an extension to Ischia. Our guide offered us the wonderful experience of attending one of Chef Carmen's cooking classes. We were greeted at the door with Prosecco toasts and the party began! Chef Carmen just oozes personality and she engaged our entire group in her marvelous experience. We sang, we danced, we learned how to make three delicious recipes. We sang and we danced and enjoyed more wine, limoncello, and Prosecco while our food was cooking. The class ended with a very happy group of tourists! We were very pleased to receive Chef Carmen's recipes and plan to recreate them for an Italian dinner. I would make a visit to Chef Carmen's cooking school required for all tourists visiting Sorrento!!Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 5, 2023
- Dee C4 contributionsChef Carmen will not disappoint!!My sister and I met Carmen across the street in a very high-end hair salon named "I'm Caso". We were having difficulty understanding how the Italian system of hair salons worked and Carmen came over to help us. She was great!! (And my sister's hair never looked better!) The next day, we were walking on the street and decided to eat at this nice looking "cooking school" and who came out to greet us? CARMEN!! The rest of the experience was a delight and so was the food! Everyone there was fun and accommodating and it was obvious they all enjoyed "working" there. I believe she is the key. A word to the wise. I asked if they had the after-dinner drink my grandfather used to have called "Anisette" they didn't but they brought me something else that almost melted my make-up off!!! Stick with Limoncello! :)Visited May 2024Traveled with familyWritten June 7, 2024
- Navigate476968833631 contributionHighlight of our trip!!We had an excellent experience with Chef Carmen and her crew! 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!Visited August 2024Traveled with familyWritten September 15, 2024

I had taken classes with Chef Carmen while in Sorrento and was very excited to take her live streaming class. I was not disappointed! Chef Carmen's warmth and expertise burst through even on the small screen! All her instructions beforehand and during her demonstrations are clear. All questions beforehand and during are answered quickly. She adjusts seamlessly to differences in amounts, ingredients and time zones. And one more thing that I didn't expect: Having the class with others, in our case someone from the UK, made it feel so wonderfully international! Food was delicious and our time flew by. Chef Carmen is a treasure and an experience not to be missed!

Just finished an online cooking class with Chef Carmen and can’t wait to sign up for another! I’ve done 2 in-person classes at her school in Sorrento, but with the COVID situation, this is the next best thing. Chef Carmen does an excellent job demonstrating and making sure everyone understands the instructions. We made handmade fettuccine with a delicious Bolognese sauce, and sea bass 2 ways - one encrusted with potatoes and baked, and the other aqua pazzo style. Everything is simple to do and tastes amazing! It was a great way to spend 2.5 hours, and now I have a delicious lunch and dinner to enjoy! It is an excellent value, too! Get a group of friends and family together, pour a glass of wine and get ready for some fun and delicious food!

Our family of 8 people which were all adult children and their husband and fiancés had a wonderful experience with Carmen and her crew! Carmen has a great personality and made the class so much fun. We met so many nice people and we learned how to make pasta and eggplant parm the Italian way! Game changer. The whole experience was fun! Snacks and wine and great conversations all night. My husband was reluctant to try eggplant and Carmen changed his mind. Don’t miss this class! You won’t leave hungry!

Chef Carmen not only delivered an incredible lesson to family and friends, but the quality of the instruction and food was beyond compare. I'm a good cook but she revamped the way we look at a number of key approaches and cooking styles and did it with fun and interest in all of her "pupils." We made pasta, cooked prepared and cooked eggplant parmigiana - the right way - and learned the best Bolognese sauce, all while drinking wine and prosecco. Then we wait it. Oh, and the Tiramisu was incredible. Book it today!

One of the best days of my study year abroad in Italy!! I visited Sorrento with a group of friends and we new we had to do a cooking course. Finding the amazing Carmen and her cooking school was the most fun we’ve ever had drinking, eating yummy food and singing our hearts out to Abba. 100% recommend to anyone looking to make memories of a lifetime and making a great friends with Carmen (Chefs kiss) Xx

This virtual cooking class was a delightful experience and we made some delicious food! Chef Carmen was charming and informative about the individual recipes, ingredients and local food culture. She patiently answered all our questions and let each student work at their own pace. My favorite part (besides eating the great food!) was learning some new cooking techniques that I will certainly use moving forward. The virtual meeting connection worked perfectly and it felt like our group of ten was in the kitchen with Chef Carmen. We will definitely do this again!

My daughter & I signed up thru Carmen’s website. We cooked in our own kitchen in Chicago, with Carmen in Italy, friends in Chicago and Pittsburgh, a couple in Russia, and another cook on his boat in the Virgin Islands. Great interaction. We were able to see and interact with everyone. We supplied the ingredients and Carmen brought her expertise. A great way to spend a couple hours. chefcarmensorrento.com

A heartfelt thank you to our favorite chef and her family in Sorrento! During our first trip to Italy, our hotel concierge recommended Chef Carmen’s cooking school, and we’re so glad they did. We had no idea what to expect, but it truly became one of the highlights of our journey, exceeding all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, Chef Carmen made us feel right at home. She not only taught us wonderful cooking techniques and shared delicious recipes, but her warmth and hospitality made it feel like we were cooking a family meal together. The rest of her family who assisted were equally amazing, and it was clear they all put their heart into what they do. Franco was fantastic too! We loved the food so much that we returned for dinner at the restaurant, and unsurprisingly, it was just as wonderful. Thank you, Carmen, for such an incredible experience and for welcoming us into your family. If you ever find yourself in Hawaii, we would love to host you! We hope to see you all again soon. Ciao<3
