One of the high points of 3 weeks in southern Italy - Lisa and Fabio were wonderful hosts and very patient with those of us not very adept at pasta-making. It was a great atmosphere (cooking indoors and eating outdoors in a nice garden setting) with great appetizers and a variety of Puglian wines served at a generous pace (I've read about other tours that were less bountiful but Fabio topped up our glasses regularly). We also had a tasty dessert served with limoncello, a great way to end the evening. Lisa took care of the pasta sauces but will be sending those recipes and Fabio forwarded a good supply of photos from the evening. We were fortunate to share the experience with 4 others with whom we got along very well and that added to our enjoyment of the evening. Pick up and drop-off points were centrally located and F abio offered to drive us to our hotel if we wished. Would recommend this cooking class/evening very highly.

One of the best experiences of my life! - In my 30+ years of traveling this was one of my favorite experiences in my entire life. Lisa & Fabio were wonderful hosts. We shared many laughs throughout the evening. The pasta was outstanding and very typical of Puglia and the south in general. Lisa’s sauce is amazing and I can’t wait to try the recipes at home. This is a must do experience in Lecce. I miss Lisa and Fabio already! We left the evening with new friends, full bellies, and amazing recipes to try at home.

A wonderful Lecce homely cooking experience and dinner - A most enjoyable Lecce local experience with wonderful hosts Lisa & Fabio inviting us into their home. We had a wonderful chilled coffee on ice to start with tasty homemade appetizers and wines then onto our pasta making class. We then sat down to dinner alfresco with our pasta and 2 different sauces finishing with a lovey pannacotta dessert.

Highlight of our Italy Trip - I am so so happy that we booked this class! Fabio and Liza are fabulous chefs, teachers, hosts, and people! They welcomed us all so kindly into their home, showed us how to make two different types of local pastas and then spoiled us with aperitif, local wine and beverages, and their life and region stories! It was so special! Obviously it was incredibly tasty! Would do it again and again!

Amazing night in Lecce! - What to say? Fantastic experience! Wonderful evening in the company of Lisa and Fabio, two people who seemed to have been friends forever. The family atmosphere, the beautiful location surrounded by greenery, the cuisine prepared with dedication and passion, made the evening one of the most beautiful experiences of our holiday. We enjoyed excellent aperitifs prepared with quality products and than we prepared two types of fresh pasta together, seasoned with ingredients that are easily available once we got home and enjoyed some truly excellent local wine! We learned so much and I can't wait to organize a Salento dinner with my friends, preserving the memory of two special people!

The most amazing experience in Puglia - We cant thank Lisa and Fabio enough to open the door to their home and introduce us to the fabulous cuisine of Puglia! This cooking experience was the highlight of our trip to Puglia. Lisa and Fabio made us felt as we are cooking and having dinner with friends over a couple of glasses of wine and sharing stories of Puglia. We learned so much and cannot wait to replicate the dishes back home. We can highly recommend to book this class as its an unforgettable experience. Grazie mille xx
