I decided to do the Buca di Bacco cooking course after reading some of the other reviews on TripAdvisor and I was not disappointed. As a solo traveller I joined three friendly couples under the tutelage of Chef Michele who was assisted by a sous chef and our translater, Luigi. All three were welcoming, helpful and full of smiles. They... More

My girlfriend and I recently spent 10 days in Italy between Positano and Rome and when we're asked about our favorite part of our trip we tell people that it was the cooking class at Hotel Buca di Bacco! It was the two of us in the class along with one other couple and Chef Giuseppe and Rafaelle who was... More

During our honeymoon stay in Positano in October we had the unfortunate luck of rain for 2 1/2 days... Worry not though because the hotel staff recommended we take the cooking class in the restaurant at Bucca di baco! What a fabulous recommendation. That particular evening we were 1 of two couples (we didn't know them at the time) to... More

SO terrific! Chef Andrea was amazing... and Carla was too. We learned how to make an amazing meal from scratch and got to meet two other couples that we ended up spending the evening laughing and dining with. I've already tried the gnocchi and pesto at home - turned out great! Could not say enough about this experience. Andrea was... More

My husband and I took this class with a British couple and had the best time. Both the chef and his interpreter were so entertaining and insightful. We drank prosecco throughout the class, which lasted about two hours, so wear comfortable shoes! We learned to make gnocchi, pesto, pomodoro, eggplant parmigiana... They were very detailed and encouraged us to make... More

This was hands down the highlight of our whole Italy trip. The class was worth every penny. We made three delicious meals, all from scratch. Chef Andrea and Carla were so friendly and helpful and answered any questions we had. After the class we got to enjoy our meals in the restaurant overlooking the beach. I can't say enough good...

After a couple rainy days in Positano we were looking for something fun to do. I remembered reading about the cooking class at the Hotel Buca di Bacco. We popped into the oceanside hotel and we fortunate that there were two spaces available. Chef Guiseppe and his interpreter, Carla made us feel welcome! We were given chef toques and aprons... More

My mother and I spent three days in Positano and booked a cooking class at Buca di Bacco before we left based on positive trip advisor reviews. The restuarant is located on the main beach in Positano and easy to find from there. We made it our first adventure on the Amalfi Coast and had such a great time! The... More

In April 2012 we visited the Amalfi coast for the first time. We stayed at the Hotel Buca di Bacco in Positano. Our room was amazing but our most memorable experience was the cooking class at the hotel. The class normally requires four individuals but my wife and I were able to experience it as a couple (normally the class... More
