Pompeii with probably the best homemade Pasta

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Wonderful day provided by The Taste Experience, with return private transfers; firstly the interesting and informative tour of Pompeii sights Then, followed by the best cooking class with Sabrina. Cookery school location has a beautiful garden, with amazing home grown fresh ingredients and the highlight of our day, the cookery lesson. Learning to make the most delicious homemade pasta dish... and also a light, fluffy delicate lemon cake. Highly recommend this cooking class for a genuine, warm, authentic Italian experience. Excellent service and good value for money.

5.00This experience was absolutely magic from start to finish, from the pick up with a great driver to the history of Pompeii and our extremely passionate tour guide, followed by the most authentic cooking class with Sabrina and her nephew who were so welcoming, experienced and kind, we learned so much. To top the day off our return driver Roberto shared so much knowledge with us! 11/10 highly recommend this tour!!!!!
Respite after the ruins

5.00It was an exceptional afternoon. Sabrina was a wonderful hostess. She not only told us how to make the food, but also shared with us the cultural importance of the food that we made. She was extremely gracious and give us a tour of her gardens and we ate on her picturesque patio. You eat with the view of mount Vesuvius. I would recommend this activity to anyone who is in the Naples area. It’s a wonderful way to spend the afternoon, especially after visiting the ruins of Pompeii or simply as an afternoon to get out and see the countryside. We felt completely at home and very comfortable with Sabrina at all times.
Highly recommend!
