Amalfi Coast Cooking Classes: Learn the Local Cuisine
The flavors of the Amalfi Coast cuisine—fresh pasta, seafood, lemons—are best learned hands-on. Several local chefs offer cooking classes in home kitchens, teaching techniques passed down through generations. You'll leave with recipes, but more importantly, with understanding.
What You'll Learn
- Fresh pasta: Making scialatielli, ravioli, or gnocchi from scratch
- Seafood: Selecting and preparing the day's catch
- Limoncello: The famous liqueur, made properly
- Desserts: Delizia al limone, sfogliatella, pastiera
The Experience
Most classes begin with a market visit or garden tour, selecting ingredients. You cook in an actual home kitchen—often with sea views—guided by a local chef. The session ends with eating what you've made, paired with local wines. Classes typically last 3-4 hours.
Perfect for: Couples (romantic experiences), food enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to bring Amalfi flavors home.
Booking
Classes in Ravello range from €100-180 per person. Private classes for couples available. Book through your accommodation or directly with local cooking schools. Reserve at least a few days in advance during high season.
