This was one of our... - This was one of our favorite experiences while in Italy! You start with an hour with a local using your hands to make pasta from 3 simple ingredients. Then while the pasta cooks they present a wine tasting of 4 wines each paired with something to eat during the second hour. It feels like two experiences blended into one while also leaving you with a fantastically full belly after an amazing meal. During one of the wine tastings you eat the pasta you made!

A culinary treat! - What a fun experience!!
The process of making these ‘little ears’ is a little trickier than I expected, but once I got the hang of it, with patient help from the gracious staff, I felt like I was channeling my nonna!
Mine might not have been the best looking, but when we finished making the pasta we got to eat it… and it was delicious!
Don’t miss this experience!!

The highlight of our holiday - This wonderful cooking class was the highlight of our holiday in Puglia. It is worth every penny. You are guided through learning how to make the local specialty: Orichietti pasta by Elena, a wonderful cooking teacher who cares so much about local knowledge of food and ingredients. you also get to try some really nice wines. What a joy!

Delicious Experience! - Wonderful experience! Learning how to make the pasta dough and ultimately the Orecchiette was a good time! The hosts at the bistro were engaging and make the experience fun! At the end we had the pasta we made for lunch with tomato sauce and throughout lunch we had a wine tasting of 5 local wines to the region. A fun and delicious experience!

Disappointing - Very ordinary event, with no cooking whatsoever. We mixed flour and water to create pasta — that’s it! Then we ate the pasta served in a pre-prepared, watery sauce. We tasted three regional wines, which was the high point of the day.

Don't - This class was held at the back of a restaurant next to the toilets. The restaurant had a foul smell. After the pasta making class there was a wine tasting and pairing that was a joke. Don't waste your money.
