We had an amazing evening with great fun learning to make pasta with a nonna. The drinks and food during and after were delicious in an absolutely lovely garden.
Beautiful moment of sharing, both generational and cultural, thanks to this small group class. Rare are the moments when one can immerse oneself in this way with such a funny and touching Nonna. Very pleasant and welcoming reception from the team.
Brilliant evening, good value, fantastic location and hosts, food and company and fun
Th pasta making session and meal was one of the highlights of our trip to Puglia. Fabio, Celia and Nonna made us very welcome. The session was good fun, and the meal and wine afterwards in the grounds of the masseria was fantastic! Would highly recommend!!
Highly recommended !!!! The hosts as well as the nonna explained and showed perfectly how to prepare different types of pasta.
The pasta making class was a definite highlight of our trip! We were a party of 6 with 4 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 9 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The guides picked us up and dropped us off at our villa which made the whole thing very easy and relaxing. The class itself was great fun and the dinner that followed was delicious. A top evening in a beautiful location. We look forward to putting our new pasta making skills to good use when we get home!
We attended the orecchiette cooking with Nonna class and had a fantastic time. From the start the reps were extremely helpful and friendly. They picked us up from our villa and dropped us off which made the whole experience very easy and relaxing. The venue was lovely and the cooking class was really fun and well run. The food at the end was delicious! We were a party of six with 4 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 9 and we all really enjoyed the experience. We are looking forward to putting our new pasta making skills to good use once we get home!
This Cooking class was fantastic! Fabio and family (including nonna) were wonderfully warm and patient as we fumbled our way through making pasta. The house and grounds provided a beautiful setting. Overall, it was a very fun authentic experience ending with a delicious dinner where we got to make some new friends. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted that you enjoyed the cooking class and felt the warmth of our family from the moment you arrived. Seeing our guests have fun while learning to make handmade pasta, even through the first "imperfect" attempts, is all part of the experience! We're so happy that you enjoyed the beautiful setting, the authentic atmosphere, and the dinner shared around the table with new friends. Creating moments that bring people together through food and tradition is exactly what we love to do. Thank you for your kind recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Puglia for another unforgettable evening with our family!
Fantastic experience - our family enjoyed learning to make different types of pasta with Nonna and the team who were very welcoming and fun. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a real pleasure to welcome your family and share this special experience with you. We're so happy that you enjoyed learning to make different types of traditional pasta with Nonna and that you felt the warm and joyful atmosphere we love to create. Thank you for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Puglia one day for more wonderful moments together!
From start to finish, this pasta‑making experience was outstanding! Fabio and Silvia created an atmosphere that was welcoming, organised, and genuinely fun. Every step of the process—from learning traditional techniques demonstrated by the Nonna’s to shaping different pasta styles—was explained clearly, with just the right balance of guidance and hands‑on freedom. The meal at the end was exceptional. Sitting down to enjoy the pasta we had just made in a beautiful setting, paired with local wine and great conversation with fellow guests felt like being welcomed into someone’s home rather than attending a standard class. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn, eat well, and enjoy an authentic, memorable experience.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a thoughtful and wonderful review! Reading your words brings us so much joy because they perfectly describe the experience we hope to create for every guest. Our goal is not only to teach traditional pasta making, but to welcome everyone into our home and share the warmth, flavors, and traditions of Puglia. We're delighted that you enjoyed learning alongside our Nonnas, and that the dinner, local wine, and conversations around the table made you feel like part of the family. Those shared moments are what make every evening so special for us. Thank you for your kind recommendation. We truly hope to welcome you back to Puglia one day for another evening filled with authentic traditions, delicious food, and unforgettable memories!
