Your experience
Spaghetti all'assassina represents a typical dish of Bari cuisine, consisting of spaghetti cooked in an iron skillet with peeled tomatoes, garlic, and a generous touch of chili pepper. Their name comes from their spiciness, but it is important to maintain a flavorful balance. It will be a pleasure to show you the correct method of preparation and then savor them together on a lovely terrace (weather permitting). During the meal, we will enjoy mozzarella, stracciatella, burrata and other delicacies, as well as a typical dessert. All will be accompanied by local wine and limoncello. I hope to welcome you to share this delicious culinary experience!

- Ottima accoglienza e ospitalità. La padrona di casa è una persona gentilissima e disponibile e davvero un'ottima cuoca.
- Wow, what an amazing experience in Puglia! Anna treated us with classic southern Italian hospitality and a delicious meal in her home. She is very knowledgeable, kind and talented! Being in her home was a great pleasure and I would highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting Bari. We also brought our 7 month old who also enjoyed watching Anna teach us how to make pasta, and of course eating it. Thank you so much for a fantastic day, Anna!
- It was very nice
- Anna was just amazing. One on one class and selection of ingredients really helped me understand the need for quality. This was less about cooking and more about appropriately preparing fresh and delicious natural ingredients. I also learned a lot about the area and the different foods and we discussed the differences in food styles as I had travelled from Northern Italy. Anna was very knowledgeable about all Italian cuisine. Thank you so much.
- We loved Anna! She was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us- especially with my husband’s struggles and his “man hands.” -very personable, treated us like family.

Anna
Cesarina from 2018Location: Bari Languages: Italian and EnglishBari has been the crossroads of a variety of cultures: Greek and Latin, Longobard and Byzantine, Norman, Roman and medieval. Each of them knew, particularly when it came to the culinary arts, how to gather and preserve knowledge and flavors. Within this mix of culture and gastronomy, we meet Cesarina Anna.
Anna welcomes her guests into her large living room. In spring and summer, she likes to greet them on the terrace to enjoy the view of the city. Her home is always open to welcoming and looking after her guest.
Anna’s passion for food and wine was born out of curiosity. "Really knowing the ingredients, sampling all the good things our vegetable gardens and harbors offer, talking with the producers themselves and understanding the work involved, putting myself out there to create the traditional dishes of our culinary culture have all helped to refine my palate"
A hobby that developed over time into a constant commitment, Anna approaches her cooking with both seriousness and professionalism, even if she’s just cooking for pure personal pleasure. She uses a careful selection of seasonal local products to prepare her meals made up of traditional dishes, but without foregoing a bit of modern reinterpretation.
