About this tour
Learn to cook three pillars of Amalfi cuisine at Rada, a rooftop restaurant perched above Positano's coastline. Over two hours, work alongside the kitchen team to shape handmade gnocchi, prepare herb-crusted fish, and bottle homemade limoncello using techniques passed through local families. You'll cook with produce sourced that morning and eat what you've made whilst gazing across the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Highlights
- Hand-roll Sorrento gnocchi from scratch with the chef
- Prepare grilled fish with foraged coastal herbs
- Make and bottle limoncello to take home
- Rooftop setting overlooks Positano and open water
- Work with same-day local ingredients
- Eat your cooked dishes with sea views
What to expect
Expect to arrive at the restaurant and tie on an apron. The chef will walk you through each dish—there's no sitting-and-watching. You'll get your hands into dough, learn the timing for grilling fish skin-side down, and understand why limoncello needs the right balance of lemon zest to sugar. It's practical cooking in a working kitchen, not a performance. Halfway through, you'll taste what you've prepared, paired with local wine if you wish. The class moves at a relaxed pace; there's no racing through recipes.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting flour on. The restaurant is accessible via local buses; ask staff about the nearest stop. The rooftop has no shade, so morning classes are more comfortable. Not suitable if you have heart or mobility concerns involving stairs.
