A genuinely lovely cooking experience - I had the most wonderful experience with Giovannella. Her Masseria is beautiful, picturesque, quiet and homely. I had the pleasure of a solo experience and it was so much fun. We made Tirimasu and Tagliatelle, Giovannella demonstrated and then she let me do the rest. She is so warm, friendly and accommodating. She made me the most wonderful feast of homemade focaccia, homegrown tomatoes, olives, olive oil, and I sat and enjoyed the tagliatelle we made together and managed a few spoonfuls of tirimasu! I was stuffed! This memory of my time with Giovannella will always be so special to me and I'll treasure forever.

An unforgettable experience - It was great, we could not have had a better insight into life here in this wonderful place and Maria was a great hostess and has. We were greeted with a delicious aperitif and then allowed to cook with her. She explained everything patiently and in the end we could enjoy a delicious dinner with parmigiana, orecchiette and tiramisu. An unforgettable experience for which we are very grateful to Mary! All the best for her and her family

An Evening to Remember - Maria was an absolute delight! To my great surprise and fortune, I had the experience all to myself as I was the only one signed up that day. This made the cooking class even more special, as I got to work alongside Maria one-on-one. She is incredibly caring, gentle, and passionate about sharing her love for cooking. Together, we made orecchiette, ravioli, and tiramisu—each step filled with laughter and learning. Afterward, we enjoyed a lovely dinner together, where we talked about life, Alberobello, and the beauty of Puglia. It was an unforgettable evening that gave me a truly authentic glimpse into the heart of this stunning region.

Authentic pasta making class with foods right from the garden. - Lucrezia and Stefano welcomed us to their home with open arms. One of the sweetest couples in all of Italy. They had a table for us with snacks before we even got started. We then learned how to make traditional Tiramasu which we then let set in their freezer. Lucrezia then patiently taught us how to make 2 fairly difficult pastas which was really appreciated. We knew the difficulty from other pasta making classes where we made much simpler styles. Lucrezia also cooked the pasta with homemade sauces from her garden on the property. It was super nice they made the meals meat free upon request for my wife. 10 out 10. This felt like a truly authentic experience. Thanks so much for your graciosuness and can't wait to do this again.

Perfect experience - Perfect experience to learn traditional cooking and have lunch. We felt at home right away and we were able to learn how to make 2 different pastas and tiramisu. The appetizers were incredible as well, made with all homemade and home grown ingredients on their own farm. I recommend this experience to anyone that wants to have an authentic Italian lunch in the countryside. The only thing I will say is that it was not in Alberobello. We were placed in a town 30 minutes from there in Noci, which we had to change our plans for because we planned on spending the day there

A Lovely Cooking Class - Worth Leaving Alberobello! - Mariuccia Balsamo welcomed us into her home and made us feel very comfortable. We made orecchiette and ravioli filled with mortadella, ricotta, Parmesan, zucchini & then tiramisu. We had a lovely dinner with her and her husband. She needs to be paid more for what she is doing!!

Great time - Great time and our host was excellent. Everything was delicious and we had a great time. The booking service isn’t necessarily in Alberbello like it said.
