What you'll do

The experience

We start in the garden, picking what we'll cook together. Then into the kitchen — rolling, shaping, everything by hand. While you cook, we prepare a few seasonal starters to share. The kitchen is open, relaxed, and alive. When it's ready, we sit down and eat — what you've made, plus the appetizers we've been making alongside you. Wine, dessert, coffee, digestivi included. No rush, just time to enjoy.

How we do things

Not a class. Just a really good day.

You won't find a lecture hall or a tourist itinerary. Just a real kitchen, real ingredients, and two friends who've spent years cooking professionally — this is how we actually like to eat.

The shape of the day

how it flows

First, the garden.

We walk through the orto together. We'll show you what's growing and you'll pick what goes into the kitchen with you.

You get your hands dirty

The pasta

You make pasta - rolling, shaping, filling. The type depends on the day: ravioli, gnocchi, or scialatielli, each with its own sauce.

Ciao! We're Benedetto and Pasquale.

Benedetto spent years cooking in Paris, then came back to the Amalfi Coast - because there's no kitchen like home.
Pasquale worked the restaurant scene here for years before deciding he wanted to do things differently.


We're friends. Madreterra is what happens when two people who cook for a living finally do it the way they actually like to:
good food, good company.
