Fabulous food - We loved our cooking lesson with Annamaria! Annamaria was educational, and her love for Puglia was obvious. The lesson was a lot of fun and the food was delicious.

hard to find but worthwhile - Difficult location to find. My apple map could not show location and we were in the wrong area. Finally got near where they were, and a nice lady came out to find us and brought us to the class. The chef was friendly and efficient We enjoyed the session

Ana Maria is Great! - The instructions Ana Marie gave us were very helpful in knowing how to get the right consistency with the pasta, what it should look like, and feel like, and how to shape the orecchiette. The sauce was delicious and we laughed and talked as if we were not just visitors, but neighbors. Wine, home made pasta, laughter, in a two hour experience— and you eat the meal— what’s not to like?

Pasta making - What a fun way to spend a couple of hours! Good company, interesting explanations and instructions and a new skill learnt in a very relaxed way. Then sampling what we had made plus local wine. What’s not to like! A very likeable and knowledgeable teacher. Thank you. Would definitely recommend.

Great experience with Anna Marie. Very authentic. - Anna Marie was fabulous! She gave us some history and had a great sense of humor making it so much fun. We laughed until we cried. Making the orrchiette was more challenging than I thought but Anna Marie was right there to help. And the meal and wine were delicious! I highly recommend this experience.

Cooking class, orecchiette - Nice activity, but I would recommend doing separate groups, because if you write that the course is in Italian it should not be done in English. The activity was done with only starter and orecchiette when in the description you Tripadvisor, it said “We will create a complete menu, from appetizer to dessert“.
