Long live the little pieces to the sauce! - We were curious! I have always heard so much about Salento specialties and, I must say, we had tested firsthand in a couple of restaurants towards Milan. Space! Stuff you never get off the table. So we decided to do this experience firsthand with Lisa and Fabio. They are cute, patient and GOOD!
Nice evening pleasant and interesting, the Salento cuisine is tasty and simple. In short, a big hit. The only drawback: I tried to do in my house what we had done together in their kitchen, but the result was not the same. So we decided to return to them soon, after Easter, to improve and enjoy the company and atmosphere.
Great job!!!

A charming and experiential pasta workshop in Lecce! - That was an experience I will surely remember for generations!
The day I arrived in beautiful Lecce was rainy. In the afternoon, I had just met Lisa and Fabio, who had taken us to their place for the pasta workshop.
The place there was so pleasant! throughout the workshop, we had useful and enjoyable conversations with Lisa and Fabio, who guided us perfectly about the traditions and techniques of making the Orecchiette and Maccheroncini pastas.
Furthermore, we had a break to eat delicious Pugliese delicacies and drink the great wines of this region. Then, continuing to make pasta till the magnificent dinner at the end was accompanied with a lot of joy, humor, and vibrant atmosphere!
Overall, that was a great experience that undoubtedly I am waiting to do again! Lisa and Fabio are so kind, full of compassion, and very creative! So that was a huge honor to learn from them and to share this attractive experience with them and with the other friendly participants in this workshop.
So recommended for all!!

Exceptional Cooking Class! - What a fabulous experience! Our hosts were warm and personable. They made us feel like we were all old friends together for the evening. The food, from the appetizers to the pasta and sauces we made and the wine were all superb! They accommodated our schedule (had a train to catch) but that didn't affect what a wonderful time we had. If you are in Lecce and have the opportunity, make sure you take this class!

Amazing night of food and friendship! - We had the most amazing night with Lisa and Fabio! They cooked the most incredible food for us. We learnt how to make two types of pastas and they took such time and patience to make sure we really enjoyed learning the craft. We all sat down for dinner which was lovely - it felt like a big family meal! Fabio served local wine and Lisa cooked beautiful starters and dessert which was all homemade with products from the local area.
We would highly recommend!!

An excellent experience!! - Had a wonderful evening with Lisa and Fabio! They picked us up from the old town and took us to their lovely home. We had a blast making the pasta and tasting the local specialties that Lisa had made. In addition, we enjoyed wine and a delicious dessert. They even gave us the recipes so we could try everything at home. This was a excellent experience!

Must do in Lecce - Fabio and Lisa were incredible teachers and gracious hosts. They kindly opened their home and treated us like family. The food we learned to make was simple enough to do at home and delicious. It felt as though we were spending time with friends.
