Cooking at Casa Mia in Naples

A cooking class held in a home style kitchen in Naples

Naples is a city rich in culinary traditions. Our cooking adventure may start with shopping for ingredients at a vibrant outdoor food market, browsing the bountiful stalls that showcase the season’s best, while grasping secrets of Neapolitan cuisine from a local expert.

Food lovers are welcomed into a gorgeous home style kitchen in a charming residential area of Naples with a coffee and pastry before tying on aprons to get cooking. Participants learn how to cook simple and delicious Neapolitan recipes. The class teaches the necessary techniques to recreate tasty dishes at home. Recipes depend greatly on season and market availability, but may include gnocchi alla sorrentina, parmigiana, gattò di patate and torta caprese.

    Casa Mia Tours helped us fall in love with Naples! It was like wandering through the city with a friend, pausing here and there to learn a bit about the history, traditions and customs of the city and of course eating all the wonderful food. As it was a private tour we could do and go wherever we fancied and we loved it!
