Amalfi Coast

Amalfi Coast Food Tours & Culinary Experiences

The Amalfi Coast is one of the world's great food regions — a place where lemons grow as big as your fist, mozzarella is made fresh every morning, and every village has its own pasta shape and signature dish. BlueKeys offers a curated selection of food tours and culinary experiences across the coast, from walking street food tours in Sorrento and Naples to hands-on cooking classes and wine tastings in the hills above Ravello.

Quick answer

BlueKeys offers the Sorrento Food Tour (walking tour with 5 tastings), Bite of Naples (street food tour), Sorrento Cooking Class, and custom food experiences. All tours are private and led by local guides.

Our most popular food experience is the Sorrento Food Tour — a 4-hour private walking tour through the historic centre and Marina Grande with five tasting stops including fresh mozzarella di bufala, gnocchi alla sorrentina, cuppo fritto, artisanal limoncello, and gelato. The guide fee is €200 per group plus €35 per person for all food and drinks — for a group of four, that works out to roughly €85 per person for four hours of eating, drinking and local storytelling. Every tour is led by a passionate local guide who shares the stories behind the food and takes you to places you would never find on your own.

For a deeper Neapolitan experience, the Bite of Naples food tour takes you through the historic centre of Naples — from Piazza del Gesù through Spaccanapoli to San Gregorio Armeno. Taste authentic pizza margherita (from €4 at the best pizzerias in the world), frittatina di pasta, babà soaked in rum, sfogliatella riccia still warm from the oven, and finish with gelato at Gay Odin. The Naples tour costs €250 per group plus €35 per person for food, and it is the ultimate introduction to the city that invented pizza. BlueKeys can arrange transport from Sorrento or the Amalfi Coast to Naples and back.

If you prefer hands-on cooking, our Sorrento cooking class teaches you to make fresh pasta, gnocchi alla sorrentina, or Neapolitan pizza in a wood-fired oven. Classes start from €85 per person and include a market visit, all ingredients, a long lunch with local wine, and printed recipes to take home. It is one of the most popular activities on the coast — guests consistently tell us it was the highlight of their trip, and they actually use the recipes back home.

The food on the Amalfi Coast varies dramatically from village to village, and part of the joy of eating here is discovering each town's speciality. In Cetara, the star ingredient is colatura di alici — an amber anchovy sauce descended from Roman garum, drizzled over spaghetti for around €14. In Amalfi, handmade pasta called scialatielli is served with fresh seafood. In Ravello, restaurants perched 350 metres above the sea serve dishes as dramatic as the views — a full meal with wine at a panoramic restaurant runs €40–€60 per person. In Positano, the waterfront restaurants along Spiaggia Grande are pricier (expect €50–€70), but the sunset setting is hard to beat.

All BlueKeys food experiences are private — just your group and your guide. No strangers, no fixed schedules, no rush. We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance, and two weeks ahead for July and August when our best guides fill up quickly. Browse all our tours or contact us to design a custom food itinerary for your group. Combine a food tour with a holiday stay on the coast for the complete Amalfi culinary experience — and let us know about any dietary requirements when you book.
