Shared Experience
Your experience

    We will delight in typical dishes of my town, such as Sagne Ncannulate (fresh handmade pasta, characteristic of the area) or ciceri e tria (cooked as my grandmother used to do in the fireplace). All will be accompanied by excellent local wine and preceded by an appetizer composed of typical local products. To conclude, we will be won over by a delicious tiramisu. Each ingredient is the fruit of my passion for the land, cultivated together with my family. My kitchen represents the space that fills me most with joy, and I will be happy to share it with you in an atmosphere that smells like family.

    Lovely experience w Katia and her family! I felt like a guest in her home. She met me with her sweet son Angelo in Lecce’s historic center, took me to some local markets there to sample some local Leccese treats, and then she drove us to her amazing town (15ish min away?) where we first stopped by the sea, then to her local fishmonger, where we picked up some mussels. We then went to her amazing house and got to know each other over aperitivos and Prosecco. Between her broken English, my broken Italian, her son’s very good English, and google translate, we had a very fun conversation 😄 Her husband shucked the mussels, which we ate raw (the most delicious I have ever had!) and then she showed me how to make pasta. I learned so much, including some very helpful tips that only someone who has been making pasta for years can share with you. She made the sauce from tomatoes, onion, and basil, from a garden steps away from her kitchen and enjoyed the delicious meal together. She then drove me back to the train station. I just wish I had more time with Katia and her family! It was a great experience.

    We had the pleasure of dining in the home of Katia B. In Lecce, with her husband Gregario and son Angelo. We met Katia and Angelo in town, visited some markets, and sampled local food and wine. They then took us to their lovely home near the sea, where we ate out on the front porch in the stillness of the evening, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We got a warm greeting from Gregario when we arrived. Katia prepared a delicious dinner of antipasto, which included homemade bread and meatballs, orecchiette with tomato and cheese sauce, and tiramisu, also all homemade by Katia. My husband said it was the best he ever tasted. Our conversation flowed easily, thanks to Angelo, our interpretator for the evening. So if you would like to enjoy a very different and relaxing experience while in Lecce, we suggest you visit with Cesarina Katia B. and her family. Ciao and Buon Appetito!

    I spent a wonderful evening with Katia and her family. We made homemade pasta together and had an amazing meal with a lot of lovely vegetables from their own garden afterwards. Big thank you and I’d be happy to come back again!
