How to choose
The pasta and tiramisù cooking class with wine is the most reviewed in Sorrento. For pizza, the Tirabusciò cooking school’s Neapolitan pizza class is the favourite. For the view, book the sea-view home cooking class or the cooking class with wine pairing by the sea, which has a perfect score.
Formats: hands-on classes at farms above Sorrento with pickup, making fresh pasta, a sauce and a dessert; pizza classes in a lemon grove with wood-fired ovens; private classes with wine and limoncello; a few in-town classes for people without time for the hills.
What you cook: gnocchi or ravioli by hand, a tomato or seafood sauce, sometimes a pizza, and a lemon dessert such as delizia al limone, eaten together with the farm’s wine and limoncello.
Price and time: roughly 130 to 190 euros for three to four hours, private classes 180 to 300; morning and evening sessions.
Farm classes above Sorrento
The signature format: a minibus collects you in Sorrento and climbs 10 to 20 minutes to a family farm among lemon and olive trees, where the kitchen opens onto the grove. You make pasta from scratch, typically gnocchi or ravioli, cook a sauce from the farm’s tomatoes or the day’s seafood, and finish with a lemon dessert, then eat it all at a long table with the farm’s wine and a limoncello. Three to four hours including transfers. Reviews single out the hosts; these are family businesses.
Pizza in a lemon grove
Several farms run pizza classes instead: dough made and stretched by hand, baked in a wood-fired oven under the lemon trees, with wine and limoncello. Shorter and cheaper than the pasta classes, and the format families with children choose. Private versions exist for groups.
In town
A few classes run in Sorrento itself for people on a tight schedule or arriving by ship. They teach the same dishes in a school kitchen without the setting; fine if the hills are not an option.
Choosing
For the full experience, a farm pasta class with pickup. For children, pizza in a lemon grove. For a celebration, a private class. Cruise passengers should check that the class ends before the ship sails; most operators are used to the question.

Is transport included?
On the farm classes, yes, from central Sorrento; some also collect from Sant’Agnello or Piano di Sorrento. Check the listing.

The ones we list are; you make the pasta and the sauce yourself. We read the reviews for the word “demonstration” and skip those.
