Saperi e Sapori

We took Nicola's cooking class last week. This was our third experience with Nicola and his unique tours. It began by meeting us for coffee along the sea side. We then walked to the house he grew up in and had a delightful time learning how to make pasta and sauce, eggplant parmesan, fried pizza, and raveoli, with his mother. We took turns "helping" during the process while Nicola discussed various aspects of Italian cuisine and family culture. Then we sat down in the kitchen to a delicious meal including good wine that was made by a family friend. We enjoyed this very much.

To say these tours are fantastic would be an understatement. The attention to detail was exceptional. We toured coastal magnificence and private beaches and wineries, fig farms, mozzarella farms. Ate in restaurants with spectacular views. Perfection.

We have taken two tours (so far) with Nicola. Nicola is surprisingly personal and energetic, very interested in your experience. It is easy to warm up to him and you feel like an old friend by the end of the day. We did the food tour, which included a visit to a buffalo farm, the Pasteum ruins, a lovely winery and a fig farm (we were quite full by the end of the ride). Our second day was on the boat. A relaxing day of swimming, eating and drinking. I recommend both of these activities. Before we leave Castellabate we may try some of the other experiences Nicola offers.

10 amici, Nicola, cultura, specialità cilentane, mare meraviglioso, anniversario di matrimonio e sorpresa con serenata napoletana in barca, torta + bollicina e limoncello. Questi sono gli attori.. ma uno è anche il regista, Nicola. Grande professionalità ma anche uno di noi. Sfido chiunque a non commuoversi quando chitarra e mandolino suonano x te e tua moglie, circondati dai tuoi amici e da un mare meraviglioso.... Splendide gite che vanno scoperte e gustate con Nicola vero ambasciatore Cilentano. L'ultima lacrima ? Sulla bilancia di casa al ritorno...😁

Lovely day out in the quaint and very clean boat. Prepaid on the website. When Nicola said at the start that it was our day and that he would facilitate, he really meant it. We enjoyed quiet bay for swimming and snorkeling, and enjoyed the best food - and learned a new phrase: Scarpetti. He was liberal with food and drinks and all in all one of the best days of the holiday.

Nicola is fantastic and so was all the different adventures we had with him. You feel like family vs a tourist. Our two sons (ages 14 and 17) still talk about how fun, knowledgeable, and kind Nicola was. I am recommending Nicola and Masaniello Tours to all my friends and Family
