⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So Much More Than a Cooking Class!
JessicaGeyer, October 2026
Our cooking experience with Rocco and Carla was THE highlight of our trip to Praiano! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel like friends in their home rather than guests at a cooking class.
Everything was incredibly authentic. The ingredients came either from their own garden or were locally sourced, and many of the recipes had been passed down through generations of their family.
Carla taught us to make pasta dough from scratch, showed us how to create different pasta shapes and how to make ricotta gnocchi. We even made a special dessert that Rocco ate as a child.
Of course, there was also their homemade red and white wine! 🍷 We cooked, drank wine, laughed, and listened to stories about their family, food and traditions.
An unexpected bonus was the other couples in our class. By the end, we all felt like friends! Sitting together afterward and enjoying the meal we had created made the experience even more special.
This was so much more than a cooking class — it felt like spending an afternoon in an Italian home, sharing food, wine, family traditions and lots of laughter with new friends.
If you're visiting the Amalfi Coast, don't miss this experience in Praiano! ❤️🇮🇹🍝🍷
Grazie mille, Rocco and Carla!

A Fantastic Authentic Italian Cooking Experience in Praiano
frankvY9280LP, September 2026
We had an absolutely fantastic evening with Be Genuine in Praiano, taking an authentic Italian cooking class with Rocco and Carla.
From the moment we arrived, Rocco and Carla were warm, engaging, and genuinely passionate about sharing their food, their traditions, and their love of Praiano. This felt like so much more than a cooking class, it was an experience.
One of the things that made it particularly special was learning that many of the ingredients we used came directly from their small terrace farm right here in Praiano. They even produce their own wine and olive oil from the fruit grown on their property. It doesn't get much more authentic or local than that!
The cooking itself was relaxed, hands-on, and a lot of fun. Rocco and Carla did a wonderful job of making everyone feel involved while sharing the stories and traditions behind the food.
For us, this was exactly the kind of experience we were hoping to have on the Amalfi Coast ... great food, wonderful people, authentic Italian traditions, and a beautiful setting in Praiano.
Highly recommended! If you're visiting Praiano and looking for an authentic Italian food experience rather than a typical tourist cooking class, put Be Genuine on your list. You won't be disappointed! 🇮🇹❤️
