Amalfi Coast: Pasta, Mozzarella & Tiramisu Cooking Class

Summary

Handmade pasta and tiramisu in a sunlit Amalfi farmhouse kitchen

You’ll cook fresh tagliatelle, stretch warm mozzarella from local milk, and build tiramisu using Nonna Maria’s recipe in an Amalfi farmhouse kitchen with coast views. Enjoy homemade wine as you relax between courses, learning from locals who treat you like family. It’s not about perfection — it’s about laughter, sunlight, and real flavors you’ll remember long after.

What’s the experience like?

You kind of tumble out of the car and there it is — the Amalfi Coast, all blue haze and lemon trees, way down below. We’d barely said hello to our host (Antonio, who’s got that easy laugh you only hear from people who grew up here) before he was handing us aprons and shooing us into this old stone kitchen. The windows were wide open, so you could hear chickens somewhere, and the light on the tiled counter was just… well, I tried to take a photo but it didn’t really catch it. There’s a smell — basil, maybe? Or just everything fresh at once.

We started with tiramisu (I know, dessert first — Antonio winked and said Nonna Maria always did it that way). He showed us how to layer the coffee-soaked ladyfingers without making them soggy; I definitely overdid mine but nobody cared. While that chilled, we sat outside with homemade wine — honestly, I’m still not sure what grapes they use here but it tasted like summer afternoon. The mozzarella part was next: warm milk straight from their own cow (Li tried to pronounce her name — “Bianca?” — and everyone laughed except the cow). It’s softer than any cheese I’ve had at home.

The pasta machine looked older than me but worked like magic. Rolling tagliatelle with flour everywhere felt less like cooking and more like playing around with friends you just met. The vegetables for the sauce came from right outside; someone’s nonna was picking tomatoes while we cooked. Lunch itself was loud and messy in the best way — plates passed around, olive oil dripped on the tablecloth, nobody worrying about phones or schedules for once. You eat looking out over those cliffs and think: yeah, this is why people come here.
