Meet Adriana

Adriana is a hospitality professional and foreign language graduate who has been welcoming travelers into her home in Agropoli, Italy, for over 20 years. She believes the kitchen is a space for togetherness, storytelling, and sharing - where food becomes a bridge between cultures. She hosts immersive cooking classes with her family, led by her Nonna, the guardian of their traditional Cilento recipes. This experience focuses on organic localism, seasonal produce, and zero-kilometer ingredients sourced from their own land or trusted local farmers. Guests can expect a true “slow” Italian experience, learning time-honored techniques passed down through generations - from Nonna’s mother to Nonna, and now shared with travelers from around the world. Adriana and her family are excited to welcome curious travelers seeking a meaningful culinary experience, cultural connection, and a heartfelt taste of Cilento life in Agropoli.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Market visit: (1-10 guests) Meet Adriana at her family-run B&B and Osteria in Trentova Bay, a peaceful seaside neighborhood in Agropoli, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards in the heart of the Cilento National Park. This authentic Italian cooking class in Cilento is led by her Nonna, Maria, who doesn't follow trends but stays true to heritage recipes, traditional flavors, and seasonal, local ingredients. Together, Adriana and her Nonna offer a genuine farm-to-table culinary experience featuring authentic Cilento cuisine you can only discover in a local home.

Your Agropoli cooking class begins with a stroll through the local market, guided by Nonna Maria’s handwritten shopping list, to hand-pick the freshest organic ingredients of the season. Back in the Osteria kitchen, you will learn how to make fresh pasta by hand and prepare 1-2 traditional Cilento dishes from scratch. Under Nonna’s patient guidance, you will transform organic flour and local eggs into perfect handmade pasta, discovering the art of seasonal Italian cooking and the philosophy of creating extraordinary flavor from simple, local ingredients. More than a recipe, you will learn the Italian secret of “doing much with little” - with love, care, and respect for the land.

After cooking, gather around the dining table on their sea-view terrace overlooking the Mediterranean to eat together as one family. It is a moment of pure togetherness, sharing the food you prepared with Nonna and exchanging stories of the land. You won’t be a tourist, but a guest at the family table, wrapped in the beauty of the Mediterranean breeze.

Escape the crowds and uncover this hidden gem south of the Amalfi Coast. Perfect for travelers seeking an authentic Italian cooking experience, a farm-to-table cooking class, and a meaningful cultural experience in Cilento.

Notes:
1. Adriana can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free diets with advance notice.
2. Nonna will host the cooking class in Italian, and Adriana will translate into English.
3. Most dishes prepared and served are vegetarian, highlighting local Slow Food ingredients and seasonal vegetables.
