Grilled or marinated vegetable sidesTwo types of fresh pastaSalumi antipastiLimoncelloDessert of tiramisu or torta capreseRosanna and her brother Antonio's family have been running a farm on the Amalfi Coast for four generations. Their main focus is to share traditional food and wine produced from organic ingredients grown on their farm. Their family traditions of making home-made pasta, pizza, mozzarella and wine are delightful and a wonderful way to get an inside glimpse into this Southern Italian family's way of life. Rosanna along with her husband Pasquale are passionate about sharing their cultural and culinary traditions in an authentic way with families and guests that visit their farm. Your experience takes place in this working farmhouse that has goats, pigs, a lemon orchard and vineyard. The farmhouse is also a B&B so while you may see other guests, your Traveling Spoon experience will remain private.
"Antonio received us and showed us the neighborhood. He walked us to see a very nice view of a cliff. Then we came back to the house and he introduced his family. His sister Rosanna was the one in charge of the pasta making class. Antonio was also involved in this part because he’s the one who speaks English better. The pasta class was very fun and we were really proud of what we accomplished. We felt really at home meeting the entire family and chatting while the food was being prepared. While we were waiting for the pasta, we had the chance to taste the amazing cold meats they make in the farm and also we were invited to try the wines the host makes. The food was amazing! Everything was really fresh and you could tell that all the veggies were grown at home! Definitely recommend. "
"Pasquale is the star of the show! He greeted us with coffee or elder blossom water. Mmm. Then he told us about his organic farm producing wine, cheese, olive oil, limoncello. He and his wife Rosanna also let rooms! Their farm is very close to the most grandiose views over the Amalfi Coast.
We all had a very hands on experience to make gnocchi and scialatielli, a local pasta version. So fun to make it. While we made pasta Rosanna made farmer sauce out of tomato, eggplant and olives.
There was tiramisu made table side by Pasquale for dessert. So delicious!"
"Rosanna and Pasquale were truly amazing to work with! From the quick and easy communication upfront, to advising us on how to get there (which was not easy or inexpensive, but so worth it), to the experience itself. When we arrived, Pasquale sat in the garden with us with wine they had made in their own cellar. Everything on this property was homemade, natural, and filled with love. We have dietary restrictions which is why we booked with them and we were able to enjoy everything they had to offer - very accommodating to our needs. This was the highlight of our trip to Italy and I would highly recommend booking with them. If you are looking for a good time, authentic stories, and fresh, homemade food - this is the class for you :)"
"My fiancé and I were visiting the region and really wanted to do a cooking class. However she is gluten free (severe allergy).
Rosanna and Pasquale were incredible hosts and took care of everything. She made GF pasta and I made glutenous, constantly cleaning the prep area and washing their hands. The food came out great and we shared a bottle of their homegrown organic wine (amazing).
10/10 and would totally recommend this experience to anyone, regardless of dietary restriction."
