    Best Cooking Class Ever
    My 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!

    Fantastic 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.

    Mama 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!

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!

In July 2019 not September as below it dawned a magical day on the Amalfi Coast. The weather perfect it became a day to treasure at the Ravello Cooking school of Mamma Agata's. I had wanted to go for so long so my friends packed themselves off for a day trip and I had my cooking school experience. It was such a delight to meet Chiara, Gennaro, Mamma Agata that I had tears of joy. The day did not disappoint and lived up more than my expectations. The effervecent Chiara is the host who makes everyone feel welcome, important and special on the day. Gennaro is the master in the kitchen along with Mamma Agat and Chiara explaining and helping. The food was outstanding and so much so I am now on my second order and have made mamy dishes form the Cookbook. RIght now you cannot go due to Covid but they have live cooking classes. I will be back when the world allows travel until then I get my yearly fix in New Zealand. Stephanie WInchester New Zealand

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!!

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!!!!!!!
Love Carolyn❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Mamma Agata LIVE Cooking Class is absolutely an amazing experience... Chiara and Gennaro provide a personal touch that you will certainly treasure. We have learned so much and have created priceless memories! The views from their garden of the Amalfi Coast are indescribable, they do a phenomenal job bringing a taste of Italy to your home!!! Can’t wait to take another class !!

I originally attended a cooking class back in July of 2017. I had found out about the school online, purchased the cookbook, and then waited till the stars aligned to plan a trip. July 2017 was the time and it was as wonderful as I had presumed. I went alone and was welcomed warmly by Chiara and her family the moment I arrived (a bit early). Perfect memories. I've continued following them on Instagram and Facebook and recently decided, during this time when few can travel, to offer some support while restocking my pantry. My correspondence with Chiara has brightened my days and my supplies arrived yesterday. Everything securely wrapped and in perfect condition.

I will go back but until then I'm happy that I can order things to have a little bit ofthr sunshine of the Amalfi coast in Pennsylvania.

Best, most rewarding activity. We took friends with us that thought they would not enjoy themselves because this was a cooking class. Well, they have been inspired to cook differently now and have said it is one of the most cherished memorable moment they had in Italy!
From the moment you meet Chiaria her energy will fill you up and change your day. The calm presence of her husband Gennaro will relax you as he teaches you his many cooking talents and Mamma with warm your heart.
The view from there beautiful home takes your breath away, truly feel so blessed as to spent the day with you.
We travelled in September 2019, It COVID Tim so I now have time to write my review sorry for the delay.

I went to Mamma Agata cooking school back in July 2013. It was such a wonderful experience! Chiara, Mamma, and the whole family were extremely welcoming and engaging! The class was very informative and we ate everything that was made and it was all absolutely delicious,..including the wine and limoncello! The location is unbelievably beautiful and we got to walk the grounds and see the gardens and also take a lovely nap on the lawn. Overall it was a fantastic day! I’m writing now because since that visit I have continuously ordered Mamma’s products over the years! I use them quite frequently and also give as gifts. They are so fresh and quite yummy! They are reasonably priced and I receive them within a week of ordering - I’m in the USA! Mamma Agata is the best!!

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!

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.
