- Leora L1 contributionEXCEPTIONAL!WOW! An unforgettable, incredible, MUST-DO experience while in Ravello! Mamma Agata's cooking class was OUTSTANDING!! The hospitality, kindness, conversation, and warmth were just as EXCEPTIONAL as the food and the view!! You cannot visit Ravello without doing this!!!!Visited April 2024Traveled with familyWritten May 3, 2024
- jhgolden0807Houston, Texas67 contributionsBest Cooking Class EverMy wife and I try to take cooking classes when we travel to gain some insight and perspective on the local culture we are visiting. We've done this for years. This class, Mamma Agata, was absolutely the best cooking class we've ever taken. An intimate, family style class with straightforward recipes, what really makes the class is the hostess, Chiara. She makes you feel like a close friend or family member who arrived for a meal! She shares her cooking secrets, tricks, tips and hacks which make the recipes very attainable. I would do the class over and over just to enjoy spending the day with Chiara!Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 19, 2024
- Katie B1 contributionFantastic experience!Our day at Mamma Agats's cooking class was the BEST DAY of our vacation on the Amalfi Coast! We learned so much in the most beautiful setting with Chiara, a kind, zealous chef (friend) who shared her family history and passion for delicious food. We learned so much, made new friends, and had an amazing time.Visited June 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 6, 2024
- GREGORY P4 contributionsBEST COOKING CLASS IN AMALFI!!!My wife and I had the most amazing experience at Mama Agata! Chiara was so welcoming and warm and I learned a lot from her class. Her home is beyond beautiful in the hills of Ravello and her cooking was amazing!! One thing to note - COME HUNGRY!!!! Lots and lots of delicious Italian dishes!! You’re the best Chiara!!! -Gregory “Peck”Visited July 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 4, 2024
- Julie MBaltimore, Maryland6 contributionsMama Agata's Day of Cooking and Relaxation is the BEST experience in Amalfi!I had the privilege of attending Mama Agata's coking class 13 years ago and have sang her praises to my now husband ever since. So when we had the chance to visit Amalfi this past September, he insisted that we go so he could experience it for himself. I was afraid that possibly this time would not live up to my memories from 13 years ago. But boy was I wrong! This is still the best experience on the Amalfi Coast, hands down. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted as if we were family with a piece of homemade lemon cake and espresso. After a little time to admire the gardens and amazing view, we started right in to learn the intricacies of making eggplant parmigiana, bolognese and meatballs- all from scratch and all delicious!! Chiara is not only an authentic chef, she is also a consummate entertainer and story teller. She is committed to making everyone feel comfortable and she really cares that you get as much cooking information as you came for. And all while we were sipping her own delicious red wine. It's a full day full of cooking instructions, amazing food, great wine and fascinating conversation. We cannot recommend this highly enough. Make sure to come hungry- you will be eating and drinking all day. The only questions is how soon can we return!Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 14, 2024

My family of seven booked a cooking class at Mamma Agata’s home on September 22, 2022.
We didn’t know what to expect but when we walked in we were greeted with open arms by Chiara.
Immediately we felt like family! The warmth and kindness was amazing by Chiara. The terrace where we were seated was breathtaking! The table was set for a king! We started by chatting with Chiara and got to know her like she was an old friend. I cannot tell you how precious she is. The elaborate grounds of her family’s home was incredibly beautiful. We were able to explore if we liked and we did. You felt like it was a dream in this amazing paradise. The cooking class was so much fun. We learned so much and had so much fun. This is a MUST DO if you want to experience the true Italy! We got the hidden secrets of cooking true Italian cooking. Each demonstration lead to a tasting. And let me tell you we ate and ate all day long. It was a full day of learning and taking in everything she taught us then eating every half an hour. The food was fabulous! We were so taken by this experience. It will be forever in our hearts.
The best was that you can order everything she cooked and some. I already placed an order before I left Florida and received it so quickly I was able to try the sun dried tomatoes. I could believe the quality of freshness and care that was put in this little jar of succulent tomatoes. The best I ever had in my life!
It was packaged with care. I also purchased tomato purée… 10 bottles and before I left the cooking class I ordered another 10 jars. There are so many products to chose from it’s astounding how they can all make it happen so preciously. Please do yourself a favor and order! They even sell jams! Chiara Lima I hope we can meet again because you are forever in my heart❤️. I love you and I cannot thank you enough for making my family and I the happiest time while we were in Italy.
You are one of a kind. May God Bless You and Your Family. Hugs from USA!
We will NEVER FORGET YOU!!!!!!!

I was unable to attend the actual class but did order some products. The shipping was very quick and the packaging very impressive. In particular, the Limoncello gift package is well done and will make a great gift. And I did buy some of the Limoncello for my own pleasure and it is fabulous! I will be buying more products in the future.

We had an absolutely extraordinary day with Chiara and our small cooking class group learning, delighting our senses, sharing stories, laughing, eating fresh delicious food, drinking cappuccino, wine and limoncello and even shedding some tears. If you’re ever on the Amalfi Coast (Ravello) don’t miss this incredible experience. You can thank me later. Note: I didn’t take pics of everything, too busy enjoying the experience. 😊🍷🍋🇮🇹

What an adorable family! I heard about this world-famous cooking school in Ravello, on the hills of the picturesque coastline of the Amalfi Coast, that got the prestige because of the adorable, heart-warming Chiara, “the chatterbox”, and her husband Gennaro, “the super chef” by creating stunning, authentic Italian recipes passed down from Mamma Agata. Not only is the food to die for, but the energy of the experience is one of my life’s highlights. If you are planning on a trip there, this is an absolute must! But it books out, so be sure to book in advance. I think with Covid restrictions, you can only book for online classes currently. But when things lift, I've been twice and couldn't recommend anything more if you're visiting the area after an authentic feed. Delizioso!

My dearest Chiara
I feel very spoilt today with including some of your delicious pasta and the ceramic spoon in my order.
The products are absolutely beautiful and I could smell the oregano when I undid it’s packaging. Looking forward to trying the marmalades. The redness of the tomatoes is incredible and I know they are going to be so sweet.
Mamma Agata’s products are simply the best, the flavour intense, pure and authentically organic.
If you have not been to the cooking school or purchased Mamma Agata products, I urge you to try this wonderful experience in Ravello.

This was a total wow experience. Upon arriving a little before 10 AM, Chiara greeted us warmly and introduced us to the other participants. I think there were 12 of us in total. We then proceeded to spend the rest of the day together learning all of Chiara’s special secrets to preparing some of the most delicious food I’ve ever tasted. The day is divided between step by step, cooking demonstrations, accompanied with wine that they also produce, and breaks between each demonstration. There’s lots of snacking in between. At the end of the day you sit down to enjoy a hearty feast of delectable food. I thought I knew a lot about Italian cooking, but I still learned so much. I don’t believe we finished until about 4:30 and I have to say this was a day I’ll always remember.

Chiara, her daughter, and one assistant outdid themselves with all the warm hospitality and attention to our every need. Chiara is one of the warmest and friendliest persons you will ever meet. She tells great stories, good jokes, knows the history of the region, and makes you feel at home. The food was delicious, the wine was plentiful and we even got cake to go. One of the highlights of our vacation. Do yourself a favor if you are near Ravello and make it a point to visit Mamma Agatas! You will NOT be disappointed! We loved our day with Chiara!! Perfetto!!

This was a first class amazing experience. I couldn't recommend it enough, not only for the food itself, but the people as well as the location.
Chiara is such a warm and lovely lady, she makes you feel so welcome from the moment you walk through. Her cooking is unlike anything I've ever tasted, 10/10.
Chiara will show you how to cook various dishes, where you get to sit down and eat them as a meal with the group at the end. Don't eat breakfast before you go, you definitely will not need it!

After spending the day with Chiara at Mamma Agata's cooking school, my daughter said it was one of the top ten days of her life! And I completely agree with her. Chiara is the warmest, most charismatic person whose love and passion for cooking is a joy to witness and experience. We felt honored to learn so many of Chiara's cooking secrets and techniques, and we were delighted to eat our scrumptious feast in the most gorgeous setting with a spectacular view of the Amalfi Coast. What a true gem of a place and an experience that I would highly recommend to anyone who likes to eat good food, be surrounded by beauty and hosted by someone as loving and warm as Chiara and her staff. I hope to return again one day!

We spent a wonderful day with Chiara and her daughter at this amazing cookery school! Chiara made us feel at home and told us about her Scottish travels! She is the warmest, loveliest lady and we loved watching her cook. We learned so much from her and have been enjoying trying out all the recipes at home on our family! We also ordered some of her delicious produce and it really was a highlight when they arrived safely and so well packaged. It was a reminder of the fabulous day we spent on her beautiful terrace overlooking the Amalfi Coast! One day we will return! If you are on holiday in this lovely area we could highly recommend a visit-you will learn so much and eat amazing food!
