The cooking school of the Old Taverna Sorrentina has been born from the experience of 3 generations in the resturant business. From 1860  the Gargiulo family have been leaders in the field of cuisine and the preparation of speciality local dishes!

To be a good chef, you not only need experience but you  also have to study, so Guglielmo started  at the Professional School of Cooking where he also learned how to receive custoumers. In his last two years at school he decided to specialize in national and international cuisine, and decided to leave the family restaurant to gain further work experience.  He started working in the most well known restaurants and in top quality Paticceries.
His studies over, Guiglielmo decided to make the difficult decision to leave Sorrento, his family and his girlfriend Maria to go to the North of Italy to enrol at the famous Academy called "Cast Alimenti" which is the Italian Professional Institute for operators in the food sector. In this prestigious Academy ( which won 6 wao titles), Guglielmo specialized in most sectors of cookery,including ice cream, pizza and chocolate making.
In 2005 he married Maria and together they work very hard to expand the family business. In 2008 the refurbished Old Taverna Sorrentina emerged,with a warm welcome for our customers in comfortable surroundings!
