pasta night with locals - Had a blast learning to make fresh pasta with a Bari local. The hands-on cooking and chatting made it feel like dinner was at a friend’s place not a show. So yeah, the food was super fresh, and we laughed a lot. Definitely a cool way to spend the evening!

If your family lived in Bari and could cook 🧑🍳 - What a delightful and delicious experience! Fernanda and family are so charming, talented, and kind. My husband and I loved spending time with them and communicating in English, Italian, and with the help of translation applications. 😄 We enjoyed all of the food served and prepared, and now know more about baking flours than our sourdough expert daughter does! Highly recommend.

Wonderful evening with Fernanda, with delicious pasta and lots of fun - We had a fantastic evening with Fernanda, who had prepared traditional Italian food for us. She teached us how to make pasta in 3 different ways, our kids loved it! We also made delicious tiramisu and pasta sauce with only natural and fresh ingredients, together with Fernanda and Sara. We had a wonderful evening with lots of fun, the kids and grandma both enjoyed it very much! Thank you Fernanda 🙏 we hope to see gou, Franco and Sara again! 🥰

fun night cooking in bari - We cooked together with a local family and learned a lot about their food and traditions. It was relaxed and the kitchen felt like a friend's place. Food was tasty but I wished we had more time for chatting and less rushing. Still a cool way to see everyday life here.
