Pasta is a sociable experience - Ignore early worries when you see 30 + people turn up. It all works out as planned and is educational but more so a fun social event with people from all over the world taking part! You get one to one help when you need it from the host Laura or one of two professional pasta chefs.

Wonderful evening! - The lesson is great, the explanations and making of the pasta is very clear. The courtyard is lovely, the nonnas leading the session are fantastic. It was a great opportunity to meet others and get their recommendations for the area during our stay in Puglia too.

Very nice experience that will enrich your visit to Puglia - Very nice experience, very Welcoming. All explanations are given in a clear and animated way, in Italian, English and French. We first knead the common dough in turn... not massage, crush with force 😉 then each has his dough and starts to make orecchiette then macaroni... The technique is shown, it seems so simple... it's a different story when you get down to it. But with the good advice of our guests, we take the help. While the pasta is cooking, an aperitif is served and then eaten together. A great time shared with other participants. We laugh, we learn, we exchange, all in a beautiful typical courtyard.
I recommend 1000%

Pasta de la mamma! - Great time to share!!! We were 2 families everyone loved! We finally learned how to make the famous pasta, the head cooks were adorable, the host handled French multilingual English superbly, the children were naturally included in the whole... really a great auntiqje moment spent all together!
The only thing that didn't make me put 5 is that there's no child rate.

Nice experience - Great Mood, Perfect Welcoming, very friendly, a small translation into French, an English understandable to all.
Only small point is that there were a few too many participants to our liking!
Otherwise very nice experience

Great experience - We thoroughly enjoyed our night with this cooking class. It’s hands on helping to make the pasta dough and everyone gets to make the 2 pasta’s to be ready for cooking.

Nice experience but overbooked - Very nice experience in a cozy surroundings but unfortunately too many people (we were over 30). Limited choice of wine (only white and rose, no red) and we were asked not to take too much so that it can be saved for others (even though we only took half a glass to start with).

Great location. Fun class. Nice people. Great food. - The staff were great. Very well spoken. Snacks were lovely. Cooking was fun and creative. We all enjoyed. The location was fabulous. Perhaps too many people so groups were big. However, they seemed to manage well. I do think it was too expensive though. Should be around £45.

Not the best choice - I would skip this one and find another as there are so many. It started on fine and Catarina seemed nice. But it was badly organized and the pasta was soooo overcooked. I realize it may be hard to cook when the pasta is not all as uniform as they like, but it was barely edible. I did expect more. Then she tells you she will post the picture on IG and never does. She seemed all about self promotion. Move on
