Mamma Agata, Amalfi Coast


Mamma Agata’s Hidden Treasure

Ravello, Italy is the hidden jewel of the Amalfi Coast in the southern portion of the country.  Perched high above the sparkling Mediterranean, surrounded by lush mountains of lemon orchards and vegetable gardens, sits a family home so quaint and so inviting that once you enter you won’t want to leave.  This is the home of Mamma Agata and she offers one of the most renowned Amalfi Coast culinary lessons available.  Of all food travel adventures one might partake in, spend just one hour cooking at Mamma Agata’s and you will quickly realize that you are among the rare few who get to indulge in a once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience.

Marvel at the view and let Gennaro introduce you to the delicious wines from the family vineyard. Her daughter, Chiara, will lead the adventures of the day. She is the heart and soul of the Mamma Agata cooking school and you will not find a host more sincere, welcoming, and hospitable.
