So fun!
Wonderful experience! Loved making pasta with the Nanna! So fun! The place was beautiful! They picked us up and dropped off at train station. Food was amazing! Dancing was super fun. Only thing I’d change is when some people are waiting to dance while others being served dinner (not doing dancing) maybe offer people waiting a drink or water. We did wait a while, to start dancing due to others needing to be served dinner, it was fine but it would be nice to offer a drink. Would recommend to couples wanting to do a cooking class, dancing, and visit with others. We loved the group we were with, so many nice people. A very intimate experience.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review! ❤️ We’re delighted that you enjoyed our Orecchiette Cooking Class & Pizzica Dance experience in Ostuni, from making traditional pasta with our Nonna to the Apulian food, dancing and meeting other guests.
Thank you also for your helpful feedback. We’re sorry we didn’t manage to offer you a drink while you were waiting for the Pizzica class to begin. This is something we normally do, but unfortunately on that particular evening, while coordinating dinner service and the dance class, we must have missed it. We really appreciate you pointing it out.
Bringing people together through traditional Apulian food, handmade orecchiette and Pizzica is exactly the kind of authentic experience we want to create in Puglia, so we’re especially happy that you loved the intimate and social atmosphere of the evening.
We hope to welcome you back to Ostuni! ❤️

Authentic and fun Ostuni experience!
We choose this as our first activity as we arrived in Ostuni. Fabio provided a wonderful experience with his nonna who was actually his mamma!
After pasta making we learned about a regional dance form and worked up an appetite before sitting down to eat the fruits of our labour.
All in all we had an excellent time and would highly recommend this !
Operator response
What a wonderful way to start your time in Ostuni! ❤️ We’re so happy that you chose to spend your first evening discovering a little taste of the real Puglia with us.
We’re lucky to have several wonderful Nonnas who take turns sharing their passion for traditional handmade pasta with our guests. Depending on the day, you may meet a different Nonna, each with her own stories, personality and little secrets of Apulian cuisine. 🍝❤️
And then there’s Pizzica! 💃🏻 Learning the rhythms of this traditional Apulian dance before sitting down together to enjoy the pasta you made is such a fun way to experience the culture and spirit of Puglia.
It was a real pleasure having you with us. Thank you for recommending our Ostuni cooking class and Pizzica experience!

Unforgettable experience in Puglia
This is one of the most authentic experiences you can have in Puglia!
We had wonderful nonnas teaching us how to make different types of traditional pasta, followed by a pizzica class. Pizzica is a traditional folk dance, and Silvia taught it with so much grace, passion, and knowledge. She is a beautiful and enthusiastic anthropologist who brings the history and tradition of the dance to life.
Fabio was a wonderful host who generously shared his home, his culture, and his love for Puglia with us. It felt much more like being welcomed into someone’s family than simply taking a class.
A truly special and unforgettable experience — highly recommended! ❤️
Operator response
This is such a special review to receive. ❤️ Thank you for seeing and appreciating not just what we do, but the meaning and heart behind it.
For me, Pizzica is much more than a dance class. It carries stories, history, identity and the spirit of Puglia, and being able to share that with our guests is something I truly love. Knowing that you felt that passion and connection means more than you can imagine.
And hearing that you felt welcomed into a family rather than simply attending a class is perhaps the greatest compliment we could receive. That is exactly the feeling we hope to create at our Puglia experience.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful evening with us, for dancing, cooking and becoming part of our little family for a while. ❤️💃🏻🍝

Highly recommended activity
A beautiful experience for our bachelorette party! The preparation of orecchiette was engaging and accessible to everyone, both for those who had some skills and for those trying it for the first time. The pizzica lesson was truly intense and fun, making everything even more special. Thanks to Fabio and Silvia, who were very kind and extremely helpful. Highly recommended!

Grazie di cuore per la vostra bellissima recensione!
È stato un vero piacere condividere con voi questo momento così speciale per l’addio al nubilato. Siamo felicissimi che abbiate apprezzato sia la preparazione delle orecchiette che la lezione di pizzica: vedere un gruppo divertirsi, ridere e lasciarsi coinvolgere dalle tradizioni pugliesi è per noi la soddisfazione più grande.
Grazie per le vostre bellissime parole e per aver scelto di vivere con noi un’esperienza autentica fatta di cucina, musica e tanta energia. Vi auguriamo tanti momenti felici e speriamo di rivedervi presto in Puglia!

In the heart of Puglia, to the rhythm of pizzica
I was with some friends for a bachelorette party and we had a truly wonderful experience. We had so much fun and, from the very first moment, we felt welcomed not as mere customers, but as friends visiting. Silvia and Fabio were exceptional: professional, available, and able to make us feel at home. An experience that I highly recommend and that we will carry with us as a beautiful memory
