A lovely family experience. - Lots of fun trying to make pasta and then enjoyed a wonderful lunch with wine after. Our host Michelle was an excellent teacher and her sister was right there working by her side. It was a lovely family experience!

Full bellies and full hearts! - Our experience was the PERFECT way to experience the warmth and simplicity of Lecce and Italian cooking.
From start to finish, the lesson was organized and smooth and fun! Our instructor was able to keep the process flowing nicely even when we needed extra assistance rolling our pasta (with kindness and humor and expertise). The wine pairings and pasta that we helped to craft could not have been better.
We are so glad we were able to enjoy this experience as part of our time in Lecce. ❤️

An enchanting experience - This cooking class was delightful. We had a lovely group, including people like my friend and me from the states as well as some young Italian women. The class was informative and lots of fun. We ate the pasta we made, drank some wine and had a little cake to finish the meal. Highly recommend!

This was well worth every penny - This was a great time and very educational. They are generous with the wine from start to finishing your lunch of home made pasta. It is well organized and the entire team pitches in to make it all come together.
I highly recommend this.
