"This was the HIGHLIGHT of our Positano trip! The boat from positano was quick and painless for people who get boat sick. They welcomed us with plentiful prosecco and we began cooking with a talented chef and an absolutely insane view. I mean insane. The staff was so fun and we really got to get our hands dirty and do the actual cooking! We had an amazing meal of the foods we made and they even gave us multiple souvenirs which was such a sweet touch. It was such a wonderful time. The boat ride back was BEAUTIFUL as it was dark and you could see all of the lights from Positano. Couldn’t recommend this class enough!! 10/10 worth the price!!!"

What Travelers Say
"This was the best thing we did in Positano!! It was such a beautiful view. Staff was incredible. We danced and drank lots of wine and made the best food. Definitely do this!!"
"Amazing cooking class! The highlight of our trip in Italy!!! You can find a lot of cooking classes in Italy and in amalfi but NONE with this incredible view. Staff was amazing and so welcoming, the food was great, we just got to do the fun part - no prep or cleaning. Super well organized!! Thank you!!!"
"My husband and I booked a cooking class here and truly had the most memorable time! The team at La Gavitella and the chef were incredible, and guided us through the most enjoyable and delicious experience. They made the class very interactive, fun and easy and we had the best time getting to know our fellow cooks! Afterwards, the food we prepared was delicious and we got to watch the most magical sunset on their stunning property. It's truly been the highlight of our trip and we are so happy we booked this experience!"
"We had an amazing time from the boat ride to the white wine and prosecco and making our own meatballs, eggplant parmigiana and lemoncello tiramisu! Plus we loved our chef and we had a great group of people at the table"
