Meet your host, Salvatore Aversano, a professional chef with extensive experience in Michelin-starred restaurants, and step into the only authentic home restaurant on the entire peninsula. Your experience begins just a short walk from your accommodation in Sorrento, with a convenient pickup located right near the Hotel Gardenia.
From there, you will head to Salvatore's exclusive home restaurant, nestled in a hidden private garden that offers breathtaking, panoramic views of Mount Vesuvius, far away from the chaos of the city. Your journey begins with a warm welcome and a refreshing, traditional Italian aperitif as you take in the stunning landscape. Next, it is time to roll up your sleeves for an intimate, hands-on cooking class. Under Salvatore’s expert guidance, you will learn the secrets of Italian cuisine, scratch-making fresh gnocchi, traditional juicy meatballs, and a rich, creamy tiramisu.
Once the cooking is done, you will sit down to enjoy the dinner you prepared with your own hands. The meal is perfectly paired with a bottle of fine wine for every two people. To conclude this unforgettable culinary experience, you will toast with a chilled, homemade limoncello and relax in the peaceful garden. Finally, your activity concludes with a smooth drop-off back at the starting point near Hotel Gardenia, just steps away from your hotel.
