Anacapri, perched on the western side of the island of Capri, Italy, offers travelers a chance to step off the beaten path and dive deep into authentic Southern Italian culture. Eat in Italy Food Tours delivers this experience through an intimate, hands-on cooking class led by Chef Francesco Civita, a true steward of Neapolitan culinary tradition. Set in Francesco’s family holiday home in Villa Bergami, this 4-hour class invites participants to roll up their sleeves and transform local ingredients into classic dishes like calamari fritti, fresh scialatielli pasta with clams, and the iconic tiramisù.
This isn’t your typical demonstration: Francesco’s approach centers on learning by doing. With years cooking across Naples, Rome, and beyond, he brings a masterful yet approachable style, encouraging every attendee to engage fully in the process. The class begins with a robust Neapolitan coffee to energize the group, paired with small local tastings that give a pulse on Capri’s vibrant food scene. Participants then navigate the steps of preparing an entire multi-course meal, including Parmigiana di Melanzane and Insalata Caprese, all enjoyed alongside carefully selected regional wines.
Anacapri’s location—halfway down the winding road to the famed Blue Grotto—adds a distinctive charm. The Mediterranean air is perfumed by nearby lemon groves and the sea breeze, enhancing the sensory appeal. Anacapri is less tourist-heavy than Capri town, giving visitors a more grounded, authentic experience. Francesco’s family home, tucked in a quiet residential area, blends the intimacy of a private kitchen with the stunning backdrop of Capri’s rugged limestone cliffs.
This cooking class is a standout offering on the island, marrying cultural immersion with practical skill-building. Whether you’re hungry for traditional recipes or curious about Italian culinary philosophy, Eat in Italy Food Tours unlocks a flavorful dimension of the region’s outdoor and cultural landscape. It’s perfect for food lovers who want to connect with Capri beyond the postcard vistas.
