A fun day up in the hills! - Mina and her family were so kind and genuine. They made the process so easy from pick up to drop off. The cooking was fun and they made it feel effortless to cook amazing food! Their garden was stunning and I highly recommend this experience.

An authentic and unforgettable culinary experience with Mina - This cooking class with Mina was a real moment of happiness. By an incredible stroke of luck, we were the only participants that day... we were treated to a private course without even asking. We felt like VIPs from the stoves! Mina is absolutely adorable, passionate, and she shares her recipes with a lot of generosity (and patience, thankfully). His mother was also very sweet and caring, which made the atmosphere even more family friendly. And the little secret of this delicious cuisine? Almost all the ingredients came directly from Mina's grandmother's garden. Suffice to say that tomatoes had more sun than me all winter. On the menu, nothing but happiness: fried eggplant with parmesan, lemon and nut spaghetti, gnocchi alla sorrentina... and finally, a tiramisu so good that one could have written a poem. It was so hearty that we left with leftovers, and frankly, it was almost worth a visit just for that. We accompanied all this with an excellent local white wine, and in digestive, a homemade limoncello concocted by the nonna itself. In short, a delicious experience at all levels. I recommend 100%, eyes closed and taste buds wide open!

Don’t miss this cooking class! - Mina arranged for us to be picked up at our hotel and driven to her beautiful house and garden in the hills of Sorrento. She has an outdoor space with a prepared table for dining, workspace for food preparation and a cooktop. All of this overlooking her amazing garden filled with lemon, orange and olive trees. She has chickens to produce the eggs we used for the pasta and tiramisu, as well as fresh herbs and vegetables. We had delicious wine as we prepared our pasta and eggplant Parmesan, followed by the tiramisu. Mina is a good teacher and has great family support for the class. Her sister is her assistant, and her grandmother made the tomato sauce and her own limoncello. We had a great time learning how to make authentic Italian dishes. So glad we chose this class instead of the many pizza making classes that are offered in Sorrento. She shared her recipes with us and will definitely try to recreate our meal once we get home

Sorrento Garden Kitchen Cooking Class - This personal cooking experience nestled amongst the lemon groves, with 2 amazing women offering their expertise in pasta making, is a must do on your list of "top things to do in Sorrento". Mila and Arianna are a delight to spend the afternoon or evening with, as they teach you the art of Italian cooking in an outdoor kitchen! The best experience so far on our travels in Italy!

Wonderful Experience! - Mina and her mom, Antonella, provided a wonderful experience for our group of five. We even got to meet grandma who was the source of the recipes we would learn. Mina provided a comfortable learning environment and was so welcoming. The garden kitchen and dining area is beautiful with walnut, olive and lemon trees. The meal was delicious and it was complimented with Prosecco, wine and limoncello. Mina even provided a nice recipe book for each of us to take with us. We would highly recommend this experience!

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!! MUST BOOK!! - 11 out of 10. Absolutely fantastic. Totally blew my expectations away. Mina and her mother were so kind, accommodating, and truly made this a one of a kind experience. I will never forget this meal that she helped us make. It was quite literally the best meal I have ever had. I cant wait to recommend Mina to all my friends. I will certainly be stopping here again when i come back to sorrento.
