Making Orecchiette and Macaroni in Lecce.

This cooking class to learn how to make orecchiette and macaroni was a wonderful moment. A very big thank you to Teresa and Paola, as well as to Sophia and the young man for the time spent, their explanations, and their kindness.

I came to learn how to cook Italian food, but I didn’t

Many participants. Too many. You will not have much hands on experience. They show you have to do the dough, and you touch it a little in the making, but you make the macaronis and the other one. You do not learn how long the pasta should cook, not how to make the sauce, or the aperitifs. You get a small portion when you’re done. You are allowed to get more, but there wasn’t any left. The cake we got was good. Not dry. The crew was lovely, but I didn’t learn how to cook Italian food.

A very pleasant experience with Thérèsa and Anna Maria who taught us well the techniques. All translated into French by Sophia and Andrea . Very welcoming and smiling. A very nice evening in the Italian atmosphere. I recommend .

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.

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

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.

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

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%
