Francesco and his family have a great place showing us how to make pizza the Italian way.
Firstly he picked us up from the centre of Sorrento to take up up to the farm further up the hill out of Sorrento (Joking with us as we did)
When we got there he showed us his house and told us about how he started the farm and how the recipe for the pizza came about, while we had a drink he had made on the farm.
We then went inside with the rest of the group (a small group which was good as everyone talked and got on with one another).
We set up to make the dough and Francescos daughter Anna took over to show us while he and his wife set the oven up for the pizza. Anna was so funny and will tell you if your doing it wrong or rubbish at it (as I was) ????
We then were set up to make the pizza base and were shown how to shape and spin the dough and put the sauce and cheese on which was so much fun!
Then They were put into the oven and once ready we sat around the table and ate the pizza we had just made straight from the oven. At the table we also had wine, anti pasti and desert which was all made on the farm (wine was amazing!)
After this Francesco did a toast with Limonchello.
All in this was a great experience that everyone should have a go at in Sorrento and if you do, have it with Francesco and his family. 5*
