A fun learning experience. Good value, eat what you make and enjoy some wine with the occasion - nice kitchen in the heart of Polignano and only room for 10 so very personal and a good way to understand pasta. The experience is just over 2 hours and the chef was knowledgeable fun and helpful.
We really enjoyed making orecchiette with Vincenzo! He broke the steps down really nicely and was very detailed. It was a nice relaxing class. And we enjoyed lovely antipasti and home-made wine also.
A very pleasant afternoon learning to make orecchiette with the nice Vincenzo, who taught us his technique in a fun and informative way, before serving us our pasta in an excellent tomato sauce with focaccia, local olives, and good rosé. Excellent experience, well organized and with a very friendly group.
Anna Marie was outstanding. She taught us well and gave so much history about cuisine in Italy. It was a wonderful experience for myself and two sisters. Lovely group of people also joined the class which made it even more memorable. I would highly recommend this class to anyone with a couple of hours to kill.
Everything perfect, Chef Vincenzo was engaging, friendly, and an excellent teacher.
Rosaria was a wonderful host and teacher. Really fun and learnt a lot. Food was delicious, Hopefully I can recreate it!
We had a wonderful moment with Rosaria who was a great techer and person. It was like beeing in her home cooking with her. We learned a lot more than preparing orrichette. It was a plunge in italian culture. Loved it! My 12 year old son also loved the experience. We look forward to making pasta back home and remember this part of our trip.
Great class! Was very enjoyable, and Giuseppe was a great teacher. Would recommend!
Our orecchiette cooking class with Annamaria was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Puglia! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel like family. Annamaria is an incredible teacher—so engaging, patient, and passionate. She shared wonderful stories about Puglia, its traditions, and the history behind the region’s famous orecchiette while teaching us the authentic technique step by step. By the end of the class, we were actually making our own pasta with confidence! The food was absolutely delicious, and sharing the meal together afterward made the experience even more special. The company, conversation, and warm hospitality made us feel like we were guests in a friend’s home rather than taking a cooking class. I took the class with my mom and my sister, and it’s a memory we’ll treasure forever. If you’re visiting Polignano a Mare and want an authentic Puglian experience, don’t miss this class. Thank you, Annamaria, for an unforgettable afternoon filled with laughter, learning, amazing food, and beautiful memories!
Excellent class! Lots of fun, family event with great instruction from the chef We highly recommend it
