Clase de cocina Matera

Greg picked us up near our hotel. It was a pleasant drive to the agriturismo. We learned about the family history of the farm and the evolution of the olive, lemon, and orange orchards. We tasted sugared fresh lemon slices along our tour. Greg introduced us to his lovely wife Silvia. She taught us how to make pasta and sauces for our lunch. The meal and wine were delicious finishing with their homemade limoncello. The whole afternoon was entertaining and informative. We highly recommend this class not only for the cooking lessons but, to see another side of Matera and Basilicata.

Greg and Silvia provided us an amazing culinary experience on their Agricultural property l’Assiolo. We not only learned so much about their Olive grove, it’s history, the process of producing some delicious extra virgin olive oil, and the Lucano food and wine, but we gained some invaluable cooking tips and methods of Italian cuisine. More importantly the food we learned how to cook, hands down the best meal we had while in Puglia.

We participated in a pasta cooking class and had a great time. The atmosphere was very relaxed and authentic. First, Greg told us many exciting facts about olive cultivation before we prepared our own pasta with Silvia. We learned a lot of new things. The explanations were in English and very easy to understand. Silvia had various tips on Italian cuisine in general and on making pasta in particular. What was especially nice was that we could enjoy the pasta we prepared together afterwards. The food was excellent, and the hosts were very friendly and took a lot of time for us and all our questions. We felt very welcome. Overall, it was a thoroughly successful and very authentic experience that we would recommend 100%.

Great experience with Greg and Silvia. A warm welcome in their beautiful agritourism, with only delicious products cooked with Silvia and her love for cooking. Thank you very much to both of you!

Great experience hosted by two delightful folks! Greg and Sylvia made us feel like family. We enjoyed the tour of the property and the tales of the family’s history and recipes during our cooking class. Absolutely recommend!

Amazing and memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Had an absolutely incredible experience at Matera Cooking Class today - Greg and Silvia were the ultimate hosts. From sharing the Matera history and story behind the farm, to hands on traditional and authentic pasta making - we loved every second and every bite! 😍

This was the BEST experience we have had in a cooking class. Greg and Silvia were so kind and love what they do. They were very accommodating to our family especially having a child with special needs. We would highly recommend you booking a class with them to learn true authentic Italian cooking!

Fantastic start to finish. Greg gave a terrific perspective and tour of the farm/agriturismo and Silvia brought life, live and simplicity to her class.

My husband and I took the cooking class with olive oil tour and had a wonderful experience. Greg picked us up from the Sassi and both Greg and Silvia were amazing. Both were so welcoming and accommodating and had great knowledge and experience to share of the history and stories of the region and its food. I love to cook and I learned a lot anyway and the food was so delicious. We highly recommend!
