Fabulously fun foodie experience - This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The host Adriana put us at our ease from the start, from the visit to the market to enjoying our pasta making efforts. Nonna Maria is truly amazing and made the pasta making element fun and informative. We were made to feel very much at home with the family, and loved preparing the produce with Nonna that we’d collected from the market. Being shown how to cook the sauces to accompany our pasta was great, and we will definitely be taking home those skills and sharing with friends and family. The class location is truly stunning and it’s apparent that they have paid great attention to detail. Making pasta with such fabulous views and then being served on plates that the owner had designed herself was really special. Would highly recommend this class to everyone as we had a great time and will be talking about the memories we made for many years to come .

A wonderful experience! - The cooking class at Ubbipò was one of the highlights of our trip and an experience I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for genuine Italian hospitality, authenticity, and tradition. It truly felt like spending the day cooking with family rather than attending a class.
Our experience started with a visit to the local market, where Adriana guided us through the local products we could choose from and even let us taste some products we didn't knew (like a local fig). After buying everything that we needed, we headed to Ubbipò: a beautiful B&B/osteria on a hill with breathtaking views over the surrounding hills and the sea.
From the moment we arrived, Adriana and her family welcomed us with such warmth and kindness that we immediately felt at home. Nonna patiently showed us how to prepare fresh pasta, a delicious pomodoro sauce and stuffed zucchini flowers. Adriana made sure to translate to perfect English whenever needed cause Nonna only speaks italian but that made the experience only more authentic!
Nonna was especially sweet for our son of 8 years old: she helped him with love and patience throughout the cooking class and turns out he is a born pastamaker :D.
The class takes place mostly on their beautiful terrace, surrounded by stunning views. Also everyone of Adriana's family came to meet and chat with us during the cooking class, we really felt like home! Once everything was ready, a beautifully set table awaited us, where we enjoyed our meal, accompanied by a good local wine.
If you want to experience authentic Italian family life, local food and genuine warmth, then Ubbipò is an experience you simply shouldn't miss!

Our travel highlight! - We stayed as a couple at the B&B Baia di Trentova to spend a few days on the beautiful Cilento coast. Adriana, Oreste, and their family welcomed and received us very warmly. On the first evening, we had dinner at the osteria and were so thrilled with every single dish that we spontaneously wanted to take the cooking class with Nonna that they offer. They were super nice and fulfilled this wish for us even on very short notice. The class itself was the highlight of our three-week trip to Italy! Nonna is a sweet lady who shows you with her "cucina povera" how much the freshness, regionality, and good quality of ingredients determine the cooked dishes. That is why even the "simplest" dishes taste uniquely good. We still dream today of the meals we prepared together with her! The wonderful view of the sea, where the whole thing takes place, is an additional bonus. We can only recommend this experience with all our hearts. Grazie Nonna e grazie a tutta la famiglia!

Mini-moon at Ubippò - We had our mini-moon at ubbipo. The family runned hotel with a beautifull view convinced is to book.
When we arrived, Ernesto (man of the house) welcomed us personally. Showed the room and explained everything.
We booked the cooking class with Nonna, wich is just incredible. Italian cuisine runs through her veins. It's awesome to see and Taste how easy she cooks at a high level. Pure Italian vibes.
Adriana (woman of the house) was a nice host. She suggested a boat trip and a diner at a Restaurant. Two homeruns which we also recommend. She joined us for a degustive after our meal and made a nice conversation.
So if you like pure Italian lifestyle, food and family, we highly recommend Ubbipò.

Made our holiday one to remember! - The course was interactive, easy to do and most importantly, incredibly tasty. Adriana took us to the local market to pick out what we fancied to cook before handing us over to Nonna who showed us exactly how to cook it. We finished by eating what we had made with a beautiful view over the ocean. The course from start to finish felt very special and it's a must for anyone to do in the area!

Wonderful local experience - My friend and I took this cooking class and we had the best time! We made pasta from scratch with two sauces (one with a tomato sauce, another with zucchini flowers) out on the property's terrace with a beautiful view of the coast. We also enjoyed some delicious local wine, as well as fried pizza dough, and a fig cake that one of the cooks had just baked. I was a little worried about my lactose intolerance but they were able to accommodate that with no problem. The best part of the experience was hanging out with Nonna's family, including her two sons, their wives, and Nonna's grandkids. The family runs a bed and breakfast as well as a restaurant that I'd love to check out next time. This class was exactly the kind of local and intimate experience we were looking for. Thank you Ubippo!

A taste of an Italian Sunday, just like Grandma's Kitchen - I gifted this experience to my sister, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable things we've done together.
The day started at the market, picking fresh ingredients side by side. Then came the cooking: homemade cavatelli with two different sauces. But what really made it special wasn't just the food, it was the atmosphere. From the very first moment, it felt like stepping into an Italian Sunday at grandma's house, full of laughter and the kind of togetherness that you rarely find outside of family gatherings. The hosts had this incredible ability to make everyone feel at ease, turning a group of strangers into what felt like a little family around the kitchen table.
The Nonna instructions were clear, patient and genuinely passionate, the kind of teaching that sticks with you. The recipe itself is beautifully simple, and that's exactly the point. I've gone home and recreated the dish multiple times since, and it comes out wonderfully every time.
Whether you're looking for a unique gift for someone you love or just a meaningful experience to share with a friend, this is it. Highly, highly recommended.
