Positano Pasta Making Class: Cook & Eat on the Amalfi Coast

Roll pasta by hand and eat it within the hour

A small group pasta making class in Positano where you prepare a full menu (antipasto, handmade pasta, a main course and dessert), then sit down to eat it with local wine and coffee. A local chef guides you through traditional Amalfi Coast recipes using fresh ingredients, and you take home the complete recipe book.

The experience

The class runs 2.5 hours in the heart of Positano. You'll start with an antipasto, then move to the pasta station where you choose from ravioli with tomato sauce and mozzarella, gnocchi with lemon sauce, cavatelli with fresh cherry tomatoes, scialatielli with egg and mozzarella, or risotto with pumpkin and rosemary. The chef walks you through each step (how the dough comes together, how to shape it, when to know it's ready), so you're not watching a demonstration, you're doing the work yourself.

After pasta comes a choice of meat or fish for your main course, then a dessert you pick: tiramisu, a fruit tart, or a traditional Positano sweet. Everything you make gets plated and eaten together, paired with a glass of local white or red wine, or Prosecco. Coffee or cappuccino closes the meal. The recipe book goes home with you so you can remake these dishes in your own kitchen.

Groups stay small, and a live English-speaking guide leads the whole thing. Children from age 6 are welcome. The class isn't suitable for gluten-free diets.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (13 to 17 years); Child (6 to 12 years). Children under 6 can't be included in the booking.

What pasta shapes do I actually make in the class?

You choose one pasta dish to prepare: ravioli with tomato sauce and mozzarella, gnocchi with lemon sauce, cavatelli with fresh cherry tomatoes, scialatielli with egg and mozzarella, or risotto with pumpkin and rosemary. The chef teaches you the technique for your choice, and you make it from scratch.

Do I eat the food I cook, or is it just a demonstration?

You eat everything you make. After you finish cooking the pasta, main course and dessert, you sit down together and eat the full menu with wine and coffee included.

Is this class suitable for someone who's never cooked pasta before?

Yes. The chef guides you through each step of the process, so no prior experience is needed. The class is built around learning the technique, not assuming you already know it.

What's included in the price besides the food and wine?

The class includes bottled water, coffee or cappuccino, and a complete recipe book of all the dishes you prepared. You don't pay extra for any of those.
