Learning from some wonderful Nonnas in Lecce - It started out a bit slow, but quickly escalated into a memorable, enjoyable evening with a great dinner and fun new friends from around the world. We made two types of pasta by hand, learning technique and style as we did it. The we got to enjoy our creation in a wonderfully savory meal. Great experience!

Great atmosphere with delicious food - The cooking class inspired us! The atmosphere was very relaxed and typical Italian from the beginning. The preparation of the different pasta varieties was a lot of fun for us and we would always come back. The delicious food was accompanied by excellent wine, which rounded off the beautiful evening.

Unforgettable moment - We had a great time in a typical setting. Pasta making class with two lovely ladies and Enrica who speaks several languages.
After preparing the pasta in a very cheerful atmosphere, aperitif with brusqueta and local wines is offered then we taste the pasta (which have been prepared in the kitchen) that we have made. A dessert to conclude this wonderful moment of exchange with people of different nationalities.
A Trip Tip Do not miss this moment you will feast
If I come back to Lecce I'll do the class again

Convivial - Friendly and family workshop in a friendly setting.
Very well translated in French and English by a very attractive lady.
Maybe a little expensive!

Not worth the money - There was not much cooking . We got to knead the dough a little and make the pasta shapes.
It was cooked and sauce added away from us, so we had no opportunity to see how to cook it properly and how the sauce was made
On a bright side, got to meet some nice people and enjoy a pleasant Rose, while waiting for the pasta to cook.
If it’s immersive cooking experience you are after, this one is not for you

Good, but Missing Details - It was a fun evening, but here are some details that would have made the experiene even better, and have been included in every other cooking I have taken.
1. The event organizers should have introduced themselves and all the staff, what the evening was about, and an agenda of how the evening was planned.
The class just started without any of this.
2. There should have been time at the start of the class for all the participants to introduce themselves. This is usually customary in other such events I have attended.
3. The organizers should have explained the history of the pasta we were making, and the traditional recipes that the pasta are used in.
4. The traditional recipes the pasta can be used in, should have been provided as a take home item.
5. The sauce was very bland. I could not even taste it. It smelled great, but that is about it.
I hope this constructive criticism can be used to make this experience better for others.

Way too many people for this experience - There were 2 tables and about 40 people in the room. They told us to take turns kneading dough. For 30 minutes most of us sat around watching other people knead dough. No information given about Lecce or orecchiette or pasta at all. Then 8 each at a table to make the pasta again with very little explanation and NO room for all these people to adequately participate. They served dry crackers and bland table wine while we stood around again doing nothing while they cooked the pasta. It was not good and the sauce was bland and flavorless. Overall waste of time.
