Meet Rosanna and Pasquale

Rosanna 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.

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.

Cooking experience: (2-12 guests) Your host Rosanna (and Pasquale when he is available) will warmly welcome you into their family home and farm in Pianillo with a cup of coffee. Take a visit to their wine cellar to pick up a bottle of wine and explore the garden where you will pick up seasonal vegetables and herbs to use in your cooking class. Next, join Antonio (Rosanna's brother who will be your translator) and Rosanna in the kitchen for your cooking lesson, and as the Italians say, "mettere le mani in pasta" - put your hands in the dough! Rosanna will walk you through how to make two different types of fresh, hand-made pasta from scratch - typically scialatielli (Neapolitan pasta) and gnocchi alla Sorentina (pasta from potato flour). Next, learn to make sauce using farm fresh ingredients, organic vegetables and their very own organic extra virgin olive oil produced at the farm. After cooking, join Rosanna and Antonio at the table to enjoy the meal you helped prepare over organic wine. In addition to pasta, enjoy charcuterie and grilled or marinated vegetables like zucchini, eggplant and peppers from the farm. You will conclude your meal with a slice of tiramisu or torta caprese (flourless chocolate almond cake) and limoncello! On days they are available, Rosanna's husband Pasquale and children, Martina and Giuseppe may join you at the dining table.

If you would like to learn how to make pizza instead of pasta, please note your preference in the Dietary Preferences section of the booking form. Rosanna and Pasquale are excited to share their culture through food and offer an authentic/traditional cooking class in Agerola. They are happy to accommodate vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free meals on request in their Italian cooking class.

Notes: Rosanna speaks limited English so her brother Antonio will act as your translator. Wine is included in the cost of your experience. Your hosts are happy to accommodate vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free meals on request.

Languages spoken: English, Italian, Spanish

PERSONALLY VETTED REVIEW
A Traveling Spoon ambassador visited this host. Here is their personal review.

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!
