Your experience
Live an authentic Apulian culinary experience! Knead and shape traditional orecchiette with your own hands, then prepare delicious meatballs to be cooked in a fragrant sauce, perfect for dressing the fresh pasta. While the sauce gently simmers, we’ll savor crispy friselle topped with juicy cherry tomatoes. The experience culminates in a tasting of our orecchiette and meatballs, perfectly paired with a glass of Primitivo di Manduria. A journey through the authentic flavors of Puglia that you’ll never forget!

- My husband and I had a wonderful afternoon in Bologna with Debby and Rosa. They were warm, kind, and incredibly hospitable. We felt right at home as we learned to make fresh pasta from scratch. The workshop was hands-on and informative. We learned traditional techniques. It was fun, delicious, and filled with love. The kitchen was filled with warmth, both from the food and from Debby and Rosa’s beautiful energy. A truly special experience we’ll always cherish!
- Deborah and Janette were wonderful hosts, the class felt less like a class and more like cooking a meal with long time friends. My wife and I took the class on our honeymoon and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, acclimated my wife's lactose intolerance, and even had glasses with hearts in them. We cooked Gnocchi with Deborah's guidance and chatted and cut up for the better part of 4 hours. We talked about life, the world, work, travel and all sorts. The food and wine were phenomenal but the hospitality made our night. Thank you very much for a wonderful night, we hope to visit again sometime.
- Deb and Janette were great! My wife and I had such a fun night and really enjoyed sitting and chatting with Deb & Jannette as much as we enjoyed learning how to make traditional Italian food. 10/10 would highly recommend.
- My husband and I attended a cooking class with Deborah and Janette in June 2025. We both had such a wonderful time learning to make pasta and tiramisu. Deborah & Janette were warm and welcoming throughout the whole process and offered so much local knowledge. I highly recommend this class to anyone - it was definitely a highlight of our trip!
- Lovely time cooking with Deb! She was warm and inviting - wonderful restaurant recommendations had so much fun making pasta with her. She even sent us wonderful pictures following the cooking class. I would highly recommend if you were in Bolonga.
