Shared Experience
Your experience
Bari-style focaccia! In this experience, you will not only taste it, but you will also learn how to prepare it step by step, from choosing the flour to kneading the dough, right up to the secrets handed down from generation to generation to obtain a focaccia that is soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and perfectly leavened. With simple, genuine ingredients, we will create an authentic flavor together, which you can easily reproduce at home. We will accompany it with typical cold cuts, fresh mozzarella, seasonal vegetables, and, to finish, traditional sweets. I look forward to seeing you to get your hands dirty and enjoy a unique experience in my home.

- The most wonderful experience I have enjoyed in many years of traveling. Annarita, her daughter Roberta and Annarita’s mother were incredibly gracious as they toured us through Bari, Italy with explanations of the significance of what we were shown including vegetable markets, governmental buildings, religious Institutions of the Old Town. Later, a short walk to Annarita’s Mother’s beautiful home where we were taught the fine skills of dough preparation followed by shaping of the orecchiette using three different techniques. Tiramisu preparation was taught and the most delightful tomato sauce techniques were also taught to a small group of twelve. We enjoyed antipasto prior to the pasta we prepared served to us with the “house wine” Annarita’s husband distilled. The entire day was an experience to appreciate and remember. A five star rating doesn’t do this experience justice, it was worth way more.
- A wonderful experience! Titte, the cook, cooks with love and it shows in the food. She helped us learn to make the pasta, but she is much faster. We had at least 6 dishes before the main course. The pasta sauce was also homemade. We had a great night.
- We had the most wonderful time cooking with Annarita and her mother and friend. Learned how to make pasta the Italian way and ate with them in their beautiful home.
- A very family-oriented and intimate experience. Excellent food with all the typical dishes. A very welcoming and friendly family. For a birthday celebration, they made a homemade cake. A real Italian experience. Thank you very much!!!
- We had a unbelievable experience here Very welcoming family Food was better than any restaurant we when to during our stay I recommend everyone that comes to Bari Tries this cooking class

Annarita
Cesarina from 2025Location: Bari (BA) Languages: Italian and EnglishMy name is Annarita, and I’m a Cesarina from Bari—a city where cooking is a true daily ritual, made of simplicity, familiar aromas, and flavors that tell the story of who we are. I love preparing traditional dishes from Bari and the Puglia region—recipes that speak of family, sharing, and the rhythm of the seasons.I use simple, local ingredients, carefully selected, because for me, cooking is above all an expression of love for my land. Welcoming people to my table and making them feel at home is one of the things that brings me the most joy. Through my cooking, I want to offer an authentic experience, filled with genuine flavors and traditions passed down from generation to generation.
